They now have a habit of crowing in unison as soon as a new face, car or animal appears, and puff out their chests like short men at a gym when someone ventures a friendly hello.
They now move together...... almost as if they were one animal

Oh, you have such a way with words, "puff out their chests like short men at a gym."
ReplyDeleteYes !!
DeleteThe brothers get along, don't fight. That's great.
ReplyDeleteWhat handsome birds they are. Perhaps consider getting them on Britain's Got Talent, singing in unison. Ant and Dec would go bananas.
ReplyDeleteToo late. Ant has already gone bananas.
DeleteHahaha!
DeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
He went into rehab three days ago.
DeleteI've just ridden past them by the field gate .... Funny little characters , two of them were chest to chest , I thought it was a precursor to a fight but it appears they just liked doing it :)
ReplyDeleteThey never fight....they need each other too much
DeleteSafety in numbers ...shithouses in unison
Deletecute boyz!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that their residence is a good thing at Bosoms. Very attractive fellows!
ReplyDeleteI have two roosters who are very similar- they hang out all day long together. They're mostly white, too. I call them Little Richard and Joe Cocker.
ReplyDeleteI'm especially proud of that last name.
Absolutely..Perfect names !!
Delete"joe cocker" - hee hee hee!
DeleteThree cocks. Extravagant.
ReplyDeletenot everyone is as lucky as john.
DeleteWhen I was little, my grandfather gave me a little Easter chick, that grew up to be my Watch Rooster. No one could come near me when he was on guard. I had a collie too ... they kept a very cordial friendship .. with a proper amount of space between them at all times.
ReplyDeleteI loved that damned bird. He died of old age. I made my dad dig a grave for him.
Sweet
DeleteTo agree with our favorite mr Pudding:
ReplyDeleteSuch handsome boys they are. They brighten the corner lot.
A real love in.
ReplyDeleteNow if only the rest of us could get along like that.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the three of them together John - quite unusual; if folk have more than one they usually either find homes for the spare ones (or put the in the pot). I would say they are three lucky chaps.
ReplyDeleteAll they know is each other.....the hens were too big for them
DeleteA cock in hand is worth two in the bush.
ReplyDeleteNot in my bush
DeleteThat reminds me of the old proverb:
DeleteA bird in the hand does it on your wrist.
I never was overly exposed to chickens as a kid, but I can't ever remember hearing about roosters hanging together like that. Normally it always seemed to end in fighting. That's so cool that they get along so well.
ReplyDeleteThe lack of fighting might be because there are no hens / females to fight over ... is my guess.
DeleteThey are a handsome lot.
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo and the way the light falls.
ReplyDeleteWe don't even need pictures with your writing, John. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWe few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
ReplyDeleteThose are very good looking birds.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 80's we had chickens: Gregory Peck, Goldie Hen, and Bo Drumstick. We also had some bantam chickens, a little hen and rooster who were so devoted to each other we named them Ronnie and Nancy after the Reagans. (Not my favorite prez, but whatever.) Ronnie would find little tidbits in the chicken yard and excitedly call Nancy over and let her eat them. So sweet. Where we live now in Texas on a street I travel every day on my way to the gym there's a Latino family that has free roaming chickens. The other day the cars ahead of me came to a stop to let a mother hen and about eight little chicks go across to the other side. The chicks stayed in a tight formation around Mom's legs as they all moved quickly in unison. I was so glad the other drivers were paying attention and had the heart to stop for her. Doesn't always happen that way.
ReplyDeleteThey are very handsome, plus I like the feathered legs. I think neighbors feeding them in their driveway that means they are traveling out and about. Just the idea of see three of the on walkabout together must be so fabulous. What a hoot !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
They're like the kids at the school where I work -- the boys all travel in packs!
