I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Shake a tail feather



I suppose he can still shake a tail feather...he has ONE left.
But poor Brewster couldn't even get a job as a feather duster these days.  


Moulting must be humiliating for a rooster.

  1. Hazel he is lovely! He doesn't look too humiliated to me, he looks like he's been there and done that already a few times. How old is he? cheers Wendy

  6. He looks like he could still 'bust a move'. Looks so soft too.

  7. Oh Hazel, he is one spectacular young man! I would love to have a rooster, and did so for a short while, but oh the suburban people of my street did not like his crow. Only a bantam too, so not exactly a strong crow, but there you go.

    Hang on to him and be proud!
