Why can’t Fred (my roo) eat like a normal chicken??

[StinkyAcres]

Thank you!! All the rest of my roosters have tall single combs, this goof ball is the only one with a comb to hold a muffin lol. I don’t even know what kind of comb it is! It’s bizarre.

It's a muffin comb. Just kidding! I could be wrong, but I think that is a rose comb.

LOL it’ll forever be a muffin comb! That was good!

I have to put it on his head, he’ll shake the muffin off and then eats it.

When I crumble them up, or just place them in his feeder, he eats every bit.

But ... you don't "have to" put it on his head, obviously, since he will eat it if you just feed it to him like a normal treat. This is just a silly game you play.

Yep! My other roosters are too serious to play with. Fred’s a good sport.

It’s good for practicing self control and listening to the human when you want to do something the human doesn’t want you to do. Whether it is wait to eat a treat placed temptingly on your nose or not chase a squirrel into traffic and get hit by a car.

But. Uh. Yea maybe some people take it a bit overboard…guilty of that I am. Tho Maxine was super good at this particular trick.

My coonhound would NEVER forgive me if I tried that. Doggo: “ok, I’ll do your little trick but I’m puking in your shoe tonight”.
Maxine is a beauty! She looks so happy and huggable.

Maxine was the softest but not so much of a snuggler.

Lulu, our treeing walker coonhound/elkhound/beagle/dachshund on the other hand loved snuggles. And refused to balance treats on her head/snout. She was a “I pose on things, not a things pose on me” type. Must be a hound thing.

My coonhound LOVES snuggles. He’s a riot, he can be so goofy. But something’s he’s “too good” to do. I’m like that’s bizarre stuck-up behavior for somebody who scared himself sitting on his own tail.
