'Very, very angry' sleep deprived lorry driver gave cockerel named Eddy brain damage because it kept waking her up

A sleep-deprived lorry driver made a cockerel 'wobbly' and 'unable to walk' with brain damage because its constant crowing kept waking her up.

The 52-year-old eventually resorted to taking things into her own hands when the issue wasn't resolved and she was once again disturbed by its crowing.
