Gender Problems on the Farm



We are having gender issues on our farm. Bill, The duck has become a she, now known as Balina, Penny (my favorite chicken ever) started crowing about 10 days ago. It started out a terrible noise as she/he was learning the trade, (the neighbor thought we had a goat) but oh how he/she loved to practice starting about 6:30 A.M. Now, every night at 10:00 we go out and scoop him off his roast and take into the laundry room for the night. Are we the only people who have a crowing rooster in our laundry room?
If Bill had stayed Bill and Penny (now Henry or Rooster Cogburn as Mitch calls him) had just stayed as they were, life on the farm would be simpler.

  1. Put a dress on the rooster and no one will be the wiser. I remember you doing that with Cameron when he was a toddler :P

  4. Do you really get up at dawn every day and carry your ROOSTER into you laundry room?! I agree with Brad: this may be the time when you really do it up and go country on all of us.

  5. No, we bring him in about midnight as we are going to bed and i remember oh yeah, the dumb rooster. We trek out to the coop (in our underwear) and snatch him off the roost where he is happily sleeping with his ladies. His days as master of the coop are quickly coming to an end : )
