Smart Banty Rooster
My little banty rooster is quite a smart little guy. Tonight as I was putting all the animals to bed he came up to me chattering away. This was not chicken cussing, as they sometimes do when we walk by, but actual chicken words. I thought maybe his door to his house wasn't open, but usually the whole flock is with him when that happens. This time it was just him and two of the mature hens. The door was open so I looked inside. I don't usually do this because they get rather upset if you see them getting ready for bed. It turns out their roost fell down, and needed to be put right. So I fixed it all up, nobody said anything bad to me this time when I stepped in their house and I think I even heard a few thank you's from the hens.
