Not Spot!!!!!!
unless you are making some Chicken and Dumplings.......I do love me some Chicken and Dumplings.
If they are anything like the roosters up the hill from us, and are significantly closer to your house, I can't blame you. Those things get annoying.
No, no soup. And no chicken and dumplings....but I do make a really good chicken and dumplings, I love that dish.
And I don't hear the noises of roosters, you get used it pretty quickly out here.
My wife has always fed the birds. But we started feeding the feral chickens in our yard, which was a really bad move. Went from two of them to over sixty in six months. Not new ones moving in, they just breed like rabbits. So we stopped feeding them in October.
Anyway, there's only a handful left. One of them we grew rather fond of. We call her Red. She has a broken leg and has to hop. Heard a racket outside the back window, saw two roosters tearing her up, really nasty. I don't usually get involved in the survival game around here, it's a tough place to be a small animal, so many predators - owls, feral cats and mongooses.
Red didn't survive the night.
Went to Walmart to get pellets for a pellet rifle a friend gave me. The place was a zoo. Got the wrong size, have to go back after Christmas. Came home, saw one of the roosters that did her in. Figured I'd make peace, put out some bread for him. Then a large rock fell on his head. Ah, well. One down. I will avenge Red, I really liked her. F the roosters, they're days are numbered.
