The Second Rooster Leaves Home for Greener Pastures
In the beginning I had three roosters. Three is just too much! Too much for the hen house, to much for the girls, to much for the feed bin, just too much!
So one rooster left to go live with a little girl who wanted a beautiful rooster for her 4-H project and to keep her one hen company, he has a wonderful life.
As time wore on, the hen’s girl’s backs wore out so the second rooster just HAD to go to someone who needed a Rooster!
(Roosters are great protectors of their girls, find little bits of good food for them to share, AND they have their favorite hens, although they are protective of all the flock.)
TWO roosters became too much, again. The roos were great buddies, shared everything, (including the girls), didn’t try to attack me, took turns keeping watch, but the favorite hens…..well; let’s just say two roosters are too much.
So Rooster number two went to live in Paonia, and these girls had never SEEN such a handsome Dude! He has a good home now and lots of entertainment. (And, yes that is a duck and other fowl in there.)
Even a guardian Llama, if he decides to talk to someone else once in a while!

our neighbor has llamas.. such interesting critters.. the horses dont quite know whatto make of them. but with those roosters.. i guess 3’s a crowd?
it’s amazing how our animals, be they equines, dogs, roosters.. all take on personalities of their own and find their way into the heart

Is the llama yours or at the new house. Funny to hear about the roosters. I think the girls will be happier now. (0: I keep thinking of funny comments to add, bit I will just stop there. Always an adventure around there. My last encounter with a rooster was at a camp ground. He was not right there but his house was way to close. When you are not use to the crowing, and planned to sleep in it is a big pain.

We have had to do away with two aggressive roosters – the third, thank heaven, hasn’t shown any aggression. Yet.

Loved all the pictures; when we raised chicks by incubator we always ended up with Roosters and would have to give them away. I had a favorite-a Rhode Island Red who would follow me around the house(as a baby)and yard. Broke my heart to give him away but we were city folk and the neighbors didn’t appreciate his crowing at 3:00am.
Have a wonderful day…we had snow for two days and today is sunny but more snow on the way.

You make having hens and roosters seem interesting!

We had a male duck once who proved too much for the female ducks and the female chickens. It wasn’t pretty. Poor things hardly had any feathers. He got a little rough. LOL!
