The girls have an admirer!
I don’t know whether the next-door neighbor’s rooster escaped, and they can’t catch him, or if they don’t know he has a secret bolt hole or if they have booted him from the coop for behavior unbecoming a gentleman, but several times this week I’ve seen him trying to woo my chickens.
The first few days I would see him chatting the girls up from outside the run or sitting in front of the door trying to sweet talk them into letting him in. Lately though, he visits the main coop for an hour or two and then trots out to the front yard to flirt with the old biddies in the chicken tractor.
He’s a bantam (Oscar thinks he can take the little guy) but I haven’t been able to determine what breed he is. He’s a cute little fellow though.

I call him Calvin.
Tell Oscar to be careful…being a Bantum means he probably has “little man syndrome”….meaning he is positive he can take on ANY size and win. He may not actually win but can and will inflict much pain trying! LOL

Lol. I’ll pass on the message. I don’t think we’ll ever find out. Calvin takes off the minute we open a door.
