Title: Blackie the Rooster Post by: schlaf374 on 15-Aug-10, 11:52:17 AM I saw this article in the local paper.
How do they expect to stop a bird doing what comes naturally!! http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201008150500/NEWS01/8150350 Title: Re: Blackie the Rooster Post by: jeanne on 16-Aug-10, 12:09:41 AM I used to hear roosters in the city when I was a substitute teacher! In Blacky's case, he lives on farmland, for heaven's sake. What's next? Getting upset with cows for mooing?

There is a fresh poultry place in my part of town, REAL fresh - you choose the bird from a cage and they take care of the rest. A friend once naively "rescued" a lovely "hen" from there, bought it - took it home as a pet. The next morning "the hen" surprised my friend (and the rest of the apt. building) by crowing like mad at daybreak. "She" also, just for the record, had flown up and was standing IN a (cold) frying pan on the stove while doing so! That relationship, nevertheless, did not last long.

Just occurs to me... was "she" playing a game of "Chicken"?! Title: Re: Blackie the Rooster Post by: jeanne on 16-Aug-10, 09:58:00 AM She wanted to be fried chicken? :o
Title: Re: Blackie the Rooster Post by: dale on 16-Aug-10, 05:02:30 PM She wanted to be fried chicken? :o Guess it seemed like a good place to crow in. He was ultimately not fried, but given away to a nice rural home. Title: Re: Blackie the Rooster Post by: jeanne on 16-Aug-10, 05:05:15 PM Even better :clap:
