Boosting for the name 😂🧙‍♂️

He's not so fierce yet. He's only 4 months old and the girls pick on him a little. Hopefully he'll grow into his name.

Hopefully he's the inverse!

Dafuq is a gorlab?

I think nostr:nprofile1qqswyfs20tenkwarqp6pz8z9v7fuaavd926rckt9hkak2husl9eentqpzemhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejz74kj4c6 means he's friendly not terrifying. Gorlab would be an interesting name though

I have an amazing Rooster he's a true gentleman, his name is Theo.

So when I hatched some more roosters I kept another one, Ja, and let him come up behind the OG.

He's a vital form of protection from Hawks & is a complete beta to Theo.

He eats last, and he takes Theo's attention by forcing him to push him off girls - this has the added effect of lightening the load on the girls as they spend half their day protecting and chasing / running away.

Eventually I'll have enough girls to satisfy everything but so far everything is working as intended!

Look at the size of that cock. You forgot to use the #NSFW tag

Big cock energy in the coop now! #nsfw

Yes! 👍

roosters are crazy as fuck. I suggest you always keep an eye on him. Great name!

👋🏼 hello Balrog. Sup?

The crowing of a rooster in the morning is one of the few things I miss about not having chickens.

I remember being on work calls at home & people being surprised to hear a rooster in the background.

I've dreaded it for so long, thinking of it as nature's alarm clock.

But now I look forward to it as the morning signal of activity.

There's something comforting about it when you have a bit of space. They also crow randomly all day.

Now we just hear the kookaburras on the morning.
