I've had a lot of inquiries lately about Chauncey, the rooster that I bought last fall. People want to know if he is still strutting in my chicken lot. Yes,he is. However, his "Spring is here!" crowing has attracted the attention of my resident fox who came down and looked at him this morning. Chauncey got very quiet and Jack, my fat jack russell, ran the fox off. (The fox didn't hurry since Jack is fat and slow.) As soon as the fox was out of sight, Chauncey once more informed the world that it is spring....almost

What if you put a fox decoy in the yard? Move it to a different location every day, but within chauncey's sight. It would keep him quiet, maybe.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't have a fox decoy. What do they look like? Are they just a cut-out of a fox? I would sort of hate to inhibit Chauncey since he is so damned impressive.
ReplyDeleteChauncey is handsome, indeed. I would have liked to see that sassy hen beside him as well. I'm assuming she and C are friends.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not sure she is a hen. There is something reptilian about her. Chauncey had another hen, but I have a second rooster now, and I gave her to the second rooster. The reptilian hen was always beating her up. Now, she has total domestic bliss over in my old corncrib with the new black rooster.
