I just discovered something interesting :o!

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

My roo enjoys having his com and wattles rubbed

He acts like my husband!!

I have been rubbing vaseline on them for the cold, and he runs over when I come in to be picked up and rubbed!

When I massage his wattles he lets his head fall back and his beak fall open......

 

[The Chicken Lady]

Yeah, roosters like that. I even read about it in a book about chickens when I was younger, and thought it sounded weird until I tried it. It really calms them.
