Derek left the building some time this morning. I arrived home from Brisbane and when I went out to say hello to everyone I noticed both the chicken pen and the duck pen doors to be open. There was no crowing and when I came inside I saw the sharpening steel on the bench (always a giveaway). So I went to the ex-butcher and asked him if cock stew was on the menu last night, and while it wasn't, he explained that Derek had in fact left the building.
I'm not sure how Speedy is holding up, probably fine I guess, I'm sure she'll find anther cock to replace Derek. So now were down to two roosters - Old Boy and Young Boy. Goodbye Derek, no more early morning crows, no more Blue Steel and no more taking Speedy's attention away from me.
