Yesterday around noon I heard Whisky crowing a couple of times with a clear voice. Not loud but no doubt it was beyond the first practice.
I hope Whiskey stays a modest crower and has no urge to crow at sunrise in the future. His main purpose is to protect the flock and it seems he is taking on the job. Jumping on the table and actively looking everywhere while the hens are free ranging.
Today I didn’t hear him at all, but he did surprise in another way.
He was dancing an courting Pearl. So lovely to witness
Pearl was not interested and I was glad Whisky took off without being rude. He really is twice the size/weight of the little Dutch. This worries me. Because his sisters are not in the laying mode yet. And Katrientje is not in the mood for such things either as long as she is moulting.
Strange how things go. I was worried of the crowing but maybe mating is a bigger problem much sooner.
I hope Whisky focusses on the bigger bantams to mate. If he is going to harm the Dutch I have to separate the flock in two groups (until I find him a new home). Dividing the runs is not complicated. Forcing Ini mini to sleep with her daughters shouldn’t be difficult either.
