The Answer. Too many.
Here in lies the problem of the 'non-farmer-like' chicken farmer. Should you hatch a collection of eggs, some will be born roosters. In our case. Most will be born roosters.
While this is essentially losing in the chicken genetic lottery. There are many perks to raising a flock of predominately male poultry.
1) You never need to worry about sleeping past 5:30am.
2) They are happy to provide exercise for the dog.
3) They look pretty....
However as the fall gets colder and the risk of being charged for running a Cock Fighting operation increases, the option of ignoring this situation is getting a little less feasible.
So...more good news. FREE ROOSTERS!
Everyone needs a rooster.
Remember 1992 when roosters graced many a kitchen décor item? You miss those days. Don't you?
Let me tell you about a few of your bachelor options
Bachelor number 1 - Bob. Bob is modelling for you the tradition rooster garb. Ever popular in Chinese food restaurant, Bob will add the Feng Shui to your yard.
Bachelor Number 2 - Foxy. Last week Foxy had a tail... He doesn't like to talk about his near death experience. We kindly ask that you don't bring it up while he waits for his prosthetic to arrive.
Bachelor Number 3. Donald. Donald is in love with a duck. He is enthusiastically working to create a new breed of 'Chucks'. But we don't judge. Love is love Donald.
Bachelor number 4 is Chip. Born looking like a chipmunk. He doesn't say much.
We think he may have a mouthful of nuts.
Bachelor Number 5 is Pat. Pat is gender confused. Chicken on the front. Rooster on the back. Exotic and rare. Pat has no time for pictures.
Bachelor Number 6 is Molly. A more appropriate name would likely have been Elvis, or King as he's king of the castle around here. But apparently it's Molly, as he comes every time we call the dog.
So I know what you are thinking. It's my lucky day. I'm getting a free rooster!
But call now. This is a limited time offer.
Operators are standing by to take your call.

Love your housecoat posts, Jaime! A delightful sales pitch... if we didn't have coyotes, fishers, eagles,and bears up our way, I'd be tempted to take one or two off your hands...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chuckle…or whatever is the roosters do!!
ReplyDeletewonderful post. I love roosters, even the 1992 kitchen variety. No, I can not take one home with me, more's the pity.
