Well Gomez’s comb and wattles are much bigger and very red. His flock mate..nothing. He’s attempting to crow although it’s odd, like he swallowed egg shells and can’t remember the end. It’s hysterical. And twice he has mounted my legbar (she’s only 5 weeks). If he’s not a rooster I’ll be VERY...
Aren’t mockingbirds fantastic? I have crows too, and it’s just a pis*ing match between the mockingbirds and crows. And a flock of cardinals that sit on my porch watching the show lol
