So yesterday was beautiful. Warm and sunny. Just perfect. We had our oldest and youngest grand daughters with us. Chloe, the oldest, had some popcorn. I told her to throw some down and see what happens. She did. Black Bart was right there. The hens were scattered all over the yard. He starts making his clucking sounds, calling the girls to the food he found. He's amazing. All the girls come running and he backs up and lets them eat. Never ate a single piece.
Chloe threw more down and the same thing. He clucks, the hens come, he steps back and lets them eat.
I told the girls, this is the kind of guy you want to find. Someone who will give you space, but is always there to protect you, no matter what. He'll give you the last bite of food. He won't be jealous, but let you have your time. He will fight for you. He will always be watching for trouble. And will love you til he has no more breath in him. That's the kind of man you want to look for.
He's also never ever tried to hurt anyone. Never even made a move like he would either. Such a gentle giant.
He's the best, Black Bart.
#7 is always off doing her own thing. A loner. Marches to the beat of her own drum. She doesn't need any help I guess.

Well I hope they don't find men like our roosters. They call the hens to the food and show it to them, the roosters don't eat the food, but when they hens get distracted eating the roosters jump on them! (Rolling on the floor laughing!!!! Which I really needed today.)
And they fall for it every time. Dirty old men.

Yep, those are dirty ole roosters! All my hens still have all their feathers and are looking good for 2 year olds. He is a very nice gentle rooster.
Beautiful colors on those chickens
