Night before last we - myself , tiny, and Daffy were all preparing to bed down for the night. Tiny all of a sudden takes a running leap, flaps and ends up on the curtain rod right above my head !! I said " oh no mr . we ARE NOT sleeping above momma's head to poop on me in my sleep" and stood up to get him down. After much scolding from the terror and much chasin on my part, I finally got tail feathers and dragged him down. I placed him on the shelf above the basket swing and put Daffy in the box and laid down .. I was almost asleep when .. yep here goes TTT up on the curtain again. This time when I turn on the light , Daffy comes running and tries to flap his little butt up there too. Instead he lands on my head !!! YA'll I swear it sounded like TTT was laughing his fool little rooster head off . I removed Daffy placed him back in the box.. Then after Tiny I go again. Finally got him down a second time and he decided he would stay put for the night where he belonged.
Last night we had more fun adventures. Daffy is growing to be a nice small, meek, and mild little guy and Tiny of course is smaller but loves to terrorize Daffy when he can. Well all was quiet and calm as I typed and played online games ..for quite awhile all things considered with my bunch !! Suddenly a wild Daffy appears, and decides he must do what all roosters do and flirt with the nearest lady, even if she does happens not to be a hen, she is female.- you guessed it - me. lol So daffy is dancing his little rooster heart out for me and poor thing im laughing so hard at the little rooster flirting with me. . When he finally stops for a second I pick him up and am petting him telling him what a great little dance he is doing and sorry that as a human i cant appreciate it right . Who should appear next and not like this ?? YEP TTT appears out of nowhere and decides this will not work at all . So, I grab him mid leap to stop the fight he is trying to start and tuck him under the other arm. Just so happens that then is when my MIL walks by on the way to the kitchen for a drink and busts out laughing at me sitting there holding a rooster in each hand and staring at the pc screen.... I am betting it did look a bit funny. I gently set them both down .. first giving Daffy a little smack on his comb and then TIny. (TIny has learned to gives kisses and likes to get them back on his comb and Daffy has picked it up too ) Both of them start doing little rooster dances in front of me and it reminds me of two Irish river dancing competitors dancing for the championship trophy. I think they were both a little insulted that all I could do was watch and laugh but at least they have stopped fighting so much.
OOhh and this morning , surprises of surprises, Daffy is crowing !!!!! Tiny has yet to let out a real crow, just a sort of broken cat prrrrrr but Daffy crowed quite nicely !!! Im so proud lol
that is a thought Nova... daffy is normally afraid of heights and prone to roosting on the side of the brooder box and Tiny usually either sleeps snuggled with me or on the basket swing....
TIny and Daffy have been sitting on opposite ends of the bed head bobbing at each other for awhile now. BEfore that tiny was attacking the evil foot roosters that were attached to momma's legs lol I think they are bored poor things . im wandering what kind of toys one gets inside chickens for christmas lol besides hens ..
lol TIny the terror has taken to even disliking normal feet without sock as they MUST somehow be roosters. HE will fight them for hours..not causeing any real damage but it can be aggravating when done for hours at a time. Funniest thing ever ?!?! Tiny was busy fighting off the ever oppresive momma's feet roosters and was running behind the box to hide when the feet over powered him ... As he is running to hide behind the box yet again the wild Daffy, ever roosting on the box, decides that this is the perfect time to pay Tiny the terror back for the last fight that tiny won ( note they dont actually fight fight but occasionally will rooster dance with each other and Tiny will get a tap or two in before Daffy just lays down like " oh ok you win you are the most dominant rooster ever mr tiny lol ) So as Tiny rounds the corner by the box to hide Daffy is sitting up higher on the boxes ledge and reaches over and tap tap tap on the Tiny head...Now tiny is twiirrrppping like crazy because not only are the awful foot roosters after him but something - he is not sure what and keeps looking around in circles- has tapped his head not once but three times... Daffy looks at me and all but shrugs then hops back in the box to eat. I do not think Tiny even thought of it being Daffy lol
