And yet my older Roo just ignores the younger Roos. Unless they encroach upon his ladies. I have had issues with other young Roos challenging my old boy.
I don’t often see Mr P even breaking up squabbling between the ladies. My observation has been him keeping the younger Roos away from his...
Safe journeys wee fellas.
I also feel it has to do with the number of chooks one has.
I have ample space here but when I had only a few there was definite hierarchy. Now not so much.
This I also observed with the horses. If there were only a few then one would be boss mare, but when in a...
Yes I noted when I had only 7 or 8 they had a more structured hierarchy. Penelope was ‘boss mare’ and until she passed she was the one who no one messed with - even with the 40 odd I now have.
But now that Penelope is gone no one really is ‘boss mare’ - Raven likely the most dominant I have...
Oh yes you are at a high latitude there for sure 😊
I know the ‘midnight sun’ having worked in the far north. Black garbage bags on my room window solves the light problem. And yes I have thought of putting darkening drapes in the Hen House 🤭 but need the air flow with the windows...
First off - glad his feet are clean!
Second - Love his wattles!
And lastly - Mr P was very interested is ‘where is that other rooster’ hahaha. He’s looking around and crowing.
Here I find it’s nest boxes that cause the drama, and if a broody is in a nest box someone is going to drag them out! It’s especially annoying when I know they don’t use a nestbox, but someone decides to brood in it, so hey, ‘I want that box also’.
Bed time drama is all about ‘I don’t wanna go...
Just getting around to seeing all the baby videos - wow that wee one freaked me out with her falling! Hopefully she’s learnt to not fall off that ledge.
Going to be another hot humid few days here, under heat alerts already.
I need to get my hay moved over here to my barn, it's baled and stacked at the barn where I buy it from, maybe Thursday might be a good day to move it and put it in my mow.
Best time to move hay is in January when it's...
They seem to come in spits and spirts here - one year lots of them, another year hardly any. I have not been outside in the middle of the night so far this summer to wander the paddocks like I used to do, the mosquitoes are too ferocious this year!
But maybe I'll do a walk-about tonight and...
Good morning Bob, and everyone.
Calling for another heat alert here, the past 2 days have been really nice for the animals. It looks like this will be a hot steamy summer here.
Daisy's mum is coming to visit at 10 this morning, I'll give then a couple dozen eggs also (will dig out all of...
Oh they are gorgeous boys! This is what Roosters should be - eye candy to look at and enjoy - congratulations on the POW! And thanks for sharing with all of us.
