Balrog does not sleep inside the coop.

He prefers the nectarine tree. 🐓🍑🌳

Does anyone else have a rooster that does this?

He would be 😎 'roosting'.

My boy Rudy roosts 12' up a cedar tree

Gosh he's beautiful. What breed of rooster is he?

I have no idea! He's a wild gamecock who just showed up one day

The best kind of farm friends are thrones who just show up.

Balrog is a great rooster name

Sounds like it's from 'Vikings".

It's a monster from the Lord of the rings. He's pretty timid at the moment but I'm sure he'll grow into it.

Roosters are monsters. Making noise at 5am? No! 👎

Roosters remind you at 5am all the greatness you have yet to achieve

They remind me that I have another hour to sleep. 🤷🤬

We don't have an alarm or any discernible schedule so it's no impact on us.

Our easter eggers are contantly getting out, roaming the neighborhood for a few days at a time (avoiding foxes, racoons and possums somehow) then showing back up. They are the hardest to catch.

I think a lot of us could use more easter egger in us these days

That's awesome your chickens are so free range that they can walk to the coast if they want to.

I knew a flock which slept in a tree, high up, above 7 feet.

Its their original natural behaviour I think.

We have 2 white chickens who would love to do that, but our pen has no tree.

For me, this is step nr1 in freeranging chickens, so congratulations 🥳😄
