Think I may have ate something I shouldn’t have yesterday. I feel fine besides my stomach feeling blah.

Hey @featherhead007 , did you sneak on to my farm when I was not looking and do your rooster whisperer thing to my roo? He is still as nicely behaved as all the hens.
When I go out there, he will call excitedly and lead the hens over near the gate. Then he waits patiently while I get food, scratch grains, or hand fulls of clover than watch over the hens for a second while they do the mad dash to get whatever I've tossed. Once he sees them all picking at whatever, only then will he also enjoy.
After I enter the pen he will follow my travels....but not too close...waiting for more handfuls of goodies. Picking at them as I go along.
If I'm out of goodies he will not invade my space, but he will look up at me and watch me. Once he sees me walking towards the coop he goes back to picking at whatever. After I come out of the coop he watches me, sometimes follows...again, not too close...and generally acts like a "hands off me" hen. Rarely does he crow either. I hear him in the morning for about an hour, then he's quiet all day unless I'm out working on the chicken yard. Then it's one, maybe two crows at the unusualness of it all, then he's quiet again.
I have started carrying a small fence post with me, like a walking stick, but I haven't needed it. Though once when he got too close I put the post down between him and me and he immediately gave me my space.
Can you translate what he told you when you snuck onto the place? I've only ever had one roo behave this well before and I don't speak roo very well, as you already know.

The tophat on the first one is priceless!
Must be a VA thing. I woke up with my tummy feeling out of sorts too.
Think I'm going to take some pepto...want some?
I have some in the fridge
maybe it’s a stomach bug.
My husband said she’s ready for the Kentucky derby
I would be surprised too!! Seems they’re bringing back a lot of movies lately though haha Schwarzenegger, Ghostbusters, MIB, etc. etc.
He picked that one
he loves it. He was having such a good time looking at her breeders. She has tons of polish and sultans.
Aww that’s so cute!!! HahahHe picked that one
