Don't ya just love it when the girls sort things out for themselves? I always have to laugh at the look on Chiefs face when they do. It all happens so fast, and it's so convoluted, that unless you're watching carefully to what's going on, you'll have no clue what just happened or why. And that's the look Chief gets on his face! "Huh? What? Who? "
And then he'll sort of look around slowly, raise one of those monster feet of his, and try to figure out who he should be squishing with that big foot!
Poor guy!
Well now, Isaac! What in heaven's name was he thinking? Probably didn't like the idea of sharing any of his ladies this morning would be my guess. Sometimes Chief is very lenient with CB, and on other days, he'll trounce the little toe rag before they even go outside for the day. Every now and then, CB will manage to dart past me as the girls are all filing out the main door, and Chief will be hot on his tail feathers. Woe be to the little tyrant if Chief catches up to him. And usually he does. When he does, CB usually finds himself laying very still on the ground, with one of Chiefs monster feet holding his head to the ground. Nothing more than that. Chief has never been one for "overkill"
Give Isaac another chance Cyn. Chances are he's just having a bad day. We're all entitled to that, aren't we? Maybe Bandit said something that just ticked Isaac off. You know how mouthy these kids can be these days!
And they're so good at pushing our buttons, aren't they? Adult roosters are by no means immune to the antagonisms of teens and pre teens.
But seriously, you know Isaac's temperament Cyn. Would you consider this a fluke? Do you think that just possibly Ike had a valid reason for chasing Bandit? The chasing doesn't bother me as much as what would he have done once he caught Bandit?
That really is strange for Ike. I hope you figure it out. It would be nice to see him with a bunch of wee ones snuggled up to him at some future date! I so love stories of roo's that take equal part in the rearing of the chicks.
