A peacock had to be captured after it terrorised a 92-year-old farmer's chickens.

Tom Walne, or Farmer Tom as he is more affectionately known across Suffolk, said the peacock appeared at his farm near Copdock on Monday.

While initially the bird was getting along with his chickens, things took a turn and the bird decided to cause mayhem and chase after the cockerels.

Where I grew up, some of the rich assholes in the hills above town raised peafowl, which would escape and come down to the flatlands where peasants like me lived, and scream horribly through the night until the coyotes corrected the natural imbalance.
