The Rooster Who thinks He's a Duck!

[aoxa]

Carlton was an only chick born with 5 ducks and a goose. How do you convince a chicken he is indeed a chicken, and not a duck?

Yes.. He's a duck. He spends every rainy day soaked to the skin just to hang with his girls. He mates them. He does not roost. Been told we should have called him Chuck (because he's part chicken, part duck).

Perches on the side of the swimming pool

He does stand out in the rain with them - getting soaked. Despite how unhappy he looks - he stays with his girls!

He's as cute as a button - a big red button. What a great guy!

Thank you I get such a kick out of the whole thing. I think he could be the subject of a children's book about differences He looked so disgusted when I told him to mate Janet instead

So you have chickens as well? Funny guy! Absolutely there's a book in there

Oh yes. He could choose to be what he is supposed to be. Was with the chickens since week 8.

He has choices. He CHOOSES to be a duck
