Lazy Gardener, do you still have snow where you are? With the rain the night before last and yesterday's warm weather it's gone here. My flock was bouncing and flitting all over the place yesterday. It has my cockerel in quite the...ahem... mood today. The ladies however, are having absolutely NONE of it and his success is in the negatives. He's not even attempting to seduce the two oldest girls - he seems to know better - but his advances towards the younger girls has his mother chasing him all over the place pecking respect for the ladies into him. Pretty sure I just heard her tell him (via LOTS of screeching) he's not supposed to just sneak up and take it...he's supposed to dine and dance with them first and win them over with heaping helpings of chivalry. Go mom!
