For me, it is the slightly scruffy, twinkly Matt Cardle type ( really I hear you say? I would never have guessed?)
Chris (believe it or not) likes a floppy haired , well dressed toff
(I am such a disappointment) and I guess animals are no different in ways of a lusty heart.
As the thaw started, perhaps the faraway thoughts of spring have galvanised testosterone levels within the meagre male population of the field and Halleh has once again started to stalk any brown hen that crosses his path!
Before the 10 brown rescue hens arrived a couple of weeks ago, I only had two brown chickens, and every spring their life would be made a complete misery by the unwanted sexual advances of the drake that has a "thing" for dusky poultry!
Now he has 12 brown hens to choose from, so with blood-a-pumping , and that slightly "wild" look in his eye, Halleh resembles that slight "kid in a sweetshop" type of character as he first would grab one hen by the tail or wing then another as she ran past him squawking loudly.
When this happens I have found that a smart whack with a tin feeding bowl is usually just enough for him to come to his senses, but today I need not have worried too much as one of the new rescue hens literally saw her arse with his unwanted libido and whopped him within an inch of his life
The circle of life continues
Christmas is over!
and.............Constance is still rubbing her fanny on the living room carpet
Hey ho

Good for that brown hen! Now we'll see if Halleh remembers the lesson, or if it is one that has to be repeated time and again.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning on getting Constance spayed after her cycle is over?
Yep, I've wacked a few over the head with a tin plate meself ;)
ReplyDeleteJust don't introduce he and Constance! ;-)))
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - that made me laugh. xxx
ReplyDeleteWell,good for the brown hen! I am willing to bet that the lesson won't stick,lol!
ReplyDeleteChristmas is over and the norm is again the norm. I take it that no neighborhood scoundrel came courting Constance while you were at work or play?
ReplyDeleteSigh, chickens will be chickens will be chickens. Halleh had it coming to him!
this might be a really silly question, but can a duck and chicken mate? and if they do what are their offspring called?
ReplyDeleteThere's always a 'Halleh' lurking about. Down boy!!!
ReplyDeleteJim
A good ass kicking may sort him out and establish a new pecking order....pardon the pun.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something amusing going on at your home, John...even without a G.O.A.T.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you some kids for the holidays but I'm a maiden goat and my lady won't let me have children!! Isn't that something! If I lay a goat-egg, which I am working on, I will send some your way and you can hatch goatlings in your incubator!
My lady says that you get MANY points for the ballet tickets!!!! She loves the ballet!!! xxxxx ooooo
Brave hen - I (as have most of us in advanced years... cough) have been treated similarly in my youth too.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure the lesson won't stick LOL.. I know as far as our buck goes... no amount of discouragement sticks with him when it comes to the girls LOL
ReplyDeleteThey make bloomers for the girly doggies. They keep all that off your furniture and carpets etc. They kinda look like plastic pants people put over baby diapers on babies, but they are for female doggies and made for them. :O)
Never a dull moment at your home!
ReplyDeleteWell done that hen! Halleh had better watch his step with her.
ReplyDeleteHaha. What a great post. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, henny-penney, put that drake in his place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me laugh. Love ya you old poof...xxx
ReplyDeleteWell, good on the brown hen! Great that a rescue hen is spirited enough to give Halleh a good whack!
ReplyDeleteoh John,
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure, life is never ever boring at your place!
