unfortunately the cock Barney had to go to a new home on an allotment. so his life was saved and he should have a nice life now!
also, only one of my hens Selma has started laying! she has been laying one egg aday for the past 2 weeks, and today I noticed her sat on an egg in the coop, so I guess this means she is broody! I left the egg there for her to sit on for a while, if that's keeping her happy! but I don't know if she may stop laying now :S. will have to ask some one that knows!
