I'm The New Betty


This bantam rooster likes me.


No, I mean he "likes me" likes me.

He runs to me when he sees me
and follows me where ever I go.

He keeps freaking me out.
I'll hear something walking through the dry grass
behind me and turn to look and see it is him.


Now, many a rooster has lost his head 
from coming after me,
but this rooster is different.

He isn't out to get me,
he is out to impress me.
He is constantly trying to show me
 some imaginary food he has found.
He thinks I am a hen  : )

In fact he is quite insulted when I toss him some food.

Poor thing.
He lost his Bad Betty
because she lured him into the goat pen to live with her
rather than stay with him in the trees,
which was the original deal.


So, she got her wings clipped and put back with the hens.
And he has been desperate to find a replacement.

Apparently it is me.

He really does like his women big doesn't he?

That is the funniest thing...you see something new everyday don't you? Hope he finds someone his own kind to relate too, bout the time you feel something tag your back leg, he'll be making you pretty jumpy! I've got a little black fancy long tailed rooster who does that on occassion and while it doesn't hurt, it sure surprises a person. Those little ones always seem to try harder don't they?

Angela said...

Paula said...

*haha* Too cute! One of my little Silkie roos has the hots for me too... he does his little "dance" at my feet when I walk into the coop... *sigh*... I think he's more than a little confused, but hey! :)
