I'm glad to have the rooster alarm system back up and running! To those who think roosters are just good for meat or fighting, I just want to sing in praise of them. All the roosters I have ever known to make it to that point have been good parents. Even the ones who were jerks to people were...

Thanks, Sustained. I meant to update a while ago. Both are still alive, fine and doing well. The young guy had a much harder time and slower recovery. They both went through a phase of "laryngitis" where they seemed to lose their speaking voices. I felt extremely guilty and upset about this, but...
