Well, it happened again!! I can't believe it, but
it did. A month or so ago, Gina finally gave me my own room in
our backyard. It's really nice too, and I didn't have to share
or anything and I was real happy but then it HAPPENED.
Gina went to the feed store
one week-end to buy feed and what did she come home with? This
really stupid looking rooster!! He's only a little guy, a banty,
but he has these really dorky lookin feathers on his feet. Looks
like he has colored showshoes on. I wasn't happy about sharin
my backyard pasture with him, but I figured it was OK 'cause
theres plenty of room for both of us. We got along fine, until
the first night when he started this awful yellin at 4 AM!!.Scared
the wits out of me!
I had heard that yellin
before, but it was at the farm across the street. This was comin'
from the deck and sounded like someone was gettin' killed. Well,
I finally snuck over to my door and looked out and it was just
the stupid CHICKEN. OH MAN...............
Well, I figured I could
stand that too 'cause I'm up a lot at night anyway, but you'll
never guess what happened next.
I guess the little guy
decided he was scared or somethin' and maybe that was why he
was doin all that yellin, but the next night he moved into MY
room with me. He flew in there like some crazed flappin thing
and I just barely ducked in time to keep from gettin grazed when
he landed on my shelf where Gina keeps my hay and grain. OH MAN...............
Well he's been sleepin
and yellin there every night since then and no amount of talkin
is gonna change his mind. I'm just gonna have to share my room
again I guess, but it's OK, he really isn't too much trouble.
Only thing I don't understand tho is why the weanlings all call
me "Chief Zeus" and laugh now when they come to graze
in my pasture.
What's a little guy like
me to do?

Buddys for sure.
Note: Zeus didn't
realize that when he came out of his barn in the morning, he
was covered with Buster feathers sticking out of his coat, thus
the reason the other foals called him Chief Zeus. :-)
