I have two roosters at the moment, and I can't carry either in the sight of the other.
The one who isn't being carried makes offended noises and flaps his wings.
And I have had the occasional triumphant crow from the one I'm holding. The cheeky little whatsits.
I like to give him food so he can tell the girls he found it.
Have you ever recorded the rooster call noise and then played it to the girls?
Me and my brother did it once. All the girls legged it over. The rooster looked a bit angry.
