An accident occurred this afternoon... We were sitting outside eating some food when Cocky came up to R and pecked him... so R kicked him... a bit too hard... off he went squawking in the long grass, his girls following. I got up after a while to go and see... There he lay, dead as a door knob, surrounded by his ladies, clucking quietly. I think it was shock. We are all a bit shocked. He was so splendid. I had a cry, then we quickly plucked him before he got cold. R is very sorry. He thought Cocky would move away, but he didn't.....RIP
