Our Rooster Was a Racist

Had to get rid of a rooster today. Our neighbor gave him to us, because he was beating up her black and white hens. She thought he was territorial or something. Maybe he'd do better at our house. We really like her. She's like 60, she scaled the back wall of her yard and dumped her rooster and his wife into our yard. Gently.

The rooster did okay for a week. Then yesterday I noticed he started pecking our chicken Chris for NO REASON. You know why? Because she was eating at the No Black and White Chicken feeding area. Apparently. The dude is a total racist. Does not mind any hen that is brown or white. But those stripey ones - watch out. Maybe they make him dizzy, like watching fuzzy television. And that apparently makes him mad, and he must peck.

Hey Gregory Peck. Great name for a chicken.

Anyway, the rooster has a new home. The girl promised not to eat him. She has a whole bunch of hens that she wants to make chicks with, and use an incubator. So he he has a flock all his own.

Nathan was against giving the rooster up. He says it's a bad idea. That the wife chicken will be depressed. I think she might secretly be relieved. Now she can hang with the black and whites and not feel uhh henpecked.
