Teen-aged Cocks a-Crowing

young white rooster, young rooster, white rooster,I went out to the garden to pick beans and whatever else might be ready to harvest.  The sunshine and blue sky added to the warmth of the task.  A occasional breeze added to my comfort level.

While in the garden I heard the birds chirping and singing.  Occasionally I heard a distant goose honking.  The endearing sounds of the farm surrounded me.

Near the garden is a fenced-in area suitable for our growing chicken population.  I could tell that the cocks were maturing.  Every few moments one of the fifty young roosters experimented with his new found ability to croak out a song.

I got my harvest and enjoyed the new sounds in our farm yard.

As they grow, the roosters’ melodies well grow in confidence and volume.

I have a question for you.  How would you like to wake up to 51 roosters greeting the dawn every day?

Well, that is life here on Heritage Farm.

If you would like a card featuring a rooster, see our store.

    To answer your question at the end, I definitely would like it. it’s better than traffic! Plus, it’s just so funny to hear them as they are just starting!
