The children seem to have decided that the rooster is way too aloof. He's positively stroppy in the mornings if I'm late from my bed, (it is the Easter Holidays AND I've got a code in my dose.achoo!) But does he care? No. He squawks at me nastily as I open his hen house door and struts around looking like Kellogg's evil twin.
The 5yo and the 7yo have captured him and are stroking and kissing him. Usually I'd tell them to put him down. He looks really cross, his comb is bright red and wobbling. But as he's been snooty with me in the past and he seems to have no etiquette d'amour with his hens, preferring to grab 'em by the neck and jump on, I am leaving him with my babies. Wouldn't be surprised if I next see him in the pram with a bonnet on....
He's a very handsome rooster and if he's a bit young he'll settle into a lovley chap by the end of the summer esp if your kids have their way!

ReplyDeleteTattie: Isn't he handsome. I rather like his toffee nosed English attitude actually. He gave the 7yo a hefty peck yesterday for annoying one of his girls.. quite right too
