Living the Life: He's a Rooster! - February 25th 2014


rooster
The GO BOX Permaculture Project has a new rooster.

If you have been reading the GO BOX Permaculture Project, you know that our Silkie hatched out three chicks last year. We knew two were hens but the third started to have characteristics of a rooster but he didn't crow. We were happy about this because a crowing rooster can disturb the peace early in the morning.

The mystery solved itself a few weeks ago. We heard this horrible noise coming from the chicken house. It was the rooster's first attempt at a proto-crow. Within two weeks, he had figured out how to crow.

If we get any complains about noise, we will have to put him in the stew pot. It's sad, but part of living in cities. His future may be uncertain, but he is an impressive fellow!
