My Big Black Rooster


I had a different title for this post, but I decided to use the word "rooster."

A couple of weeks ago, we added a rooster to our flock. He is very protective of his hens, and you have to whack him with a stick to keep him from attacking. So far, he's drawn blood from both Julia and Leonardo.

The hens (five of them) seem to like having a husband around. Egg-wise, it seems to have made them more productive, though that might just be co-incidence. The last two hens started laying after his arrival.



This posting has nothing to do with cycling.

I heard that the black roosters are faster than the white ones, but the blue ones are the fastest.
