Time's Up

This is Roley the Rooster. Beautiful isn't he?

Well let me tell you, he's not so beautiful when he's pecking your hand through the wire of his pen. Or sidling up to you, wings down, indicating that he's deciding whether to attack or not.

Out of our 7 surviving chooks, we have 2 roosters (You can see Jumpy in the background of this picture), and both aren't exactly being friendly. Jumpy (why is it that our roosters have names, but not our chooks???) has only run at me once or twice though, whereas Roley does it every time I open his pen, or walk outside.

So this means that, beautiful though he is, Roley is going to have to go. Jumpy will get a short reprieve, just to see how he goes once Roley is gone, but if he follows in his predecessor's footsteps, he'll be gone too. Sadly, we're not quite game enough to put him on the dinner table, so I'd say he'll go back to the breeders who we bought the eggs off.
