half grown roosters???? I was just out with the chickateers - my 13 week old cockerels - TJ and Rowdy and Cash.

First I watched TJ try to mate a hen. Got his butt stomped into the ground for that one. Just like his daddy Thor, that one is young to mature.

So here they are, all three strutting around like they are the cocks of the walk. Bowing up at each other, chest bumping, just generally being testosterone crazed little idiots. Then I introduced them to a strawberry; their first.

None of the three would come quite up to the juicy red berry I held out to them, so I rolled it across the ground towards them. I have never seen anything with two legs run so fast. I think they headed for the hills.

Mean ol' strawberry!

The daily debate is whether these boys are ready to take over as heads of their flocks yet. After today's display, I'm afraid I have to agree with DH. They are most definitely NOT.

Just let the Silkies show em how to handle those ornery berries.
My Silkies love the tiny wild strawberries that grow in the yard. Ofcourse, so does the rabbits.

The silkies are kinda busy right now. Jethro is on the nest, due to hatch I think Monday. Ellie Mae is busy following Ray (a SF) around all the time, trying to steal Ray's chicks.
