Today, we said goodbye to Perry (formerly Penny Lane) 😥 He is going to a farm where there is a lonely rooster and hopefully, they'll be buddies out there. This farmer will be getting some girls for them in the next few weeks.
It's bittersweet to let him go because he's such a vibrant character. He's the one that first jumped onto my hand, then arm, then shoulder and finally to the top of my hat. I was always afraid he'd drop a surprise on my head. Back then, "he" was still a chicken. He started crowing 2 weeks ago 🐓 and he started asserting his dominance over the other girls. Definitely a rooster.
We don't want roosters on our farm for a myriad of reasons. I guess this is just part of being a farmer - making decisions about how the farm will be run and sticking to those decisions. It doesn't make it any easier, though 😥
