Here was our first "hen" that appeared much larger than the others and then suddenly started saying, "Cock-a-doodle-dooooo!" He thought he was in heaven! 40 ladies to look after (okay, maybe he thought he was in hell.... =) ) a new voice to announce his presence... and then....
This "hen" who was also a bit larger than the others, realized he too had a voice! They both "cock-a-dooed" for about a day or so and then the white one stopped... we rarely hear it any more... I think this one got a hold of a mirror and decided that he was "prettier" and therefore had "cock-a-doodle rights"! =)
Here's the first crower, silenced, but maybe enjoying just hanging out with the ladies, rather then keeping them in check! =)***Little do they know, they will soon both be dinner, as they don't lay eggs, and eggs pay for their food! wink wink...

Haha!! That's hilarious. Hey, how is Elle's special chicken doing?
ReplyDeleteHey Sara, have you and your kids read the picture book The Rooster's Gift (by Pam Beddows)? It's a cute story about a young rooster who learns to cock-a-doodle-doo. Chickens are so fun. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww...poor little guys. Love your blog and will visit often! Thanks!! Maybe you can keep one to make the ladies happy and make more little chicks?
