Keep Brutus, and hopefully you will have "Sons of Brutus!"..We have Roger, and two Sons" They are all caring but jealous Hubbies. We also have Silver Boy, who would drop food for his ladies as he found it, now his son does the same. Muscovy "hubbies" are also good but with "Runners" it's "first in - best dressed"
Now, our Daddy Goose (Schultz) is the father of 10 goslings (most in three years) and is just the BEST! He never eats until all have eaten. Enjoy Brutus but keep his sons separate when they come along!

I am not sure I will even be able to keep the "sons of Brutus". I suspect the demand by others to own a son of Brutus will be so great, I will not be able to keep any. Thieves will break into the coop in the wee hours of the morning to kidnap his sons. The eggs of his wives will be stolen and sold illegally on Ebay.

The real unscrupulous thieves will sell ordinary eggs, claiming they hold the DNA of Brutus.

I am already contemplating an alarm system and hired security guards for the wives and offspring of Brutus.

And lastly a word of warning to you, Beware of scams "down under" offering eggs or young of Brutus to you. I have steadfastly refused your governments request to allow some of Brutus's offspring to immigrate there. I would consider it in return for a wallaby, but your government is refusing that. Until they relent there will be no "sons of Brutus" in Oz.

Finally this goes without saying, but be very leery of any email offers for the sons of Brutus coming from Nigeria. If you do find a child of Brutus, ask yourself, before you buy it, "Do I want to facilitate a crime against Brutus?" Remember Brutus always gets even and is known to take the law into his own hands when he feels he is wronged.

I think we should title this Brutus adventure, " Brutus learns about women the hard way"...


Brutus as we all know is the perfect gentleman. Heck, lets be brutally honest here. Brutus is perfect in all ways.

Brutus was doing his rounds the other day, checking on the under the scrape iron gang, talking to the lone tree gang. He even visited the meatballs ( the CX's). I think he visits with the CX's, even though they are way younger than him, to give them a role model.

Many times after Brutus leaves the meatball chicks, I will see the young roosters strutting like Brutus, bringing feed to the young girls, looking to the skies for predators and fighting imaginary fur bearing critters. They idolize Brutus. But back to the story, Brutus was just leaving the CX's, when he saw Ethel out and about.

Ethel was recently released from the maternity ward, with her remaining 4 chicks. I know what you are thinking, What kind of mother has chicks just before the snow flies? Ethel is not normal, which Brutus us soon to discover. Ethel is claims to be a slate blue turkey, however, some of us think her parentage is a little cloudy. She has some fairly brown feathers for a slate blue. Her babies are not what slate blue chicks look like.

Brutus does not care, he is very open minded about these things. Brutus considers the turkeys to be part of his flock. In fact, the other night, I reached out and grabbed a young turkey hen, she squawked. Brutus hearing the young turkeys call, came running. Of course when Brutus investigated and saw I was just holding the girl, he went back to his eating. He trusts me completely, he is so loyal.

Now, back to Ethel, Brutus saw Ethel and started watching her and her chicks, He was just ambling along enjoying watching the love between a mother and child. Brutus is a big softy at heart. He enjoys watching good parenting because he knows it leads to good birds. While looking up he got a little too close to Ethel.

Now I am sure he thought he was giving her lots of room. He was over 20 feet away. Looking up, not even paying attention to Ethel. When all of a sudden Ethel turns on Brutus!

She comes at him at a dead run. Flies up in the air and lands on his back with her claws out. Brutus was so startled he gave out a squawk. Which is so unusual from him. I did not think with the amount of testosterone Brutus has cruising through his system a squawk was even possible. Brutus tries to apologize to Ethel, he back away. She will have nothing to do with it. She is on him again. Brutus again refuses to take the bait, and strike back at her. Brutus being the perfect gentleman would never take a swing at a lady. Brutus turns and tries to run away from Ethel, Ethel chased him a good 30 feet further away.


When Ethel calmed down, Brutus simply took responsibility for the dust up, even though all onlookers knew Ethel was the aggressor and completely in the wrong. Brutus is chivalrous, I admire him more after this, then before.

Brutus told me in confidence over grain the other night, his whole, mine malted, "If all the girls are like Ethel, I can understand the old saying "B******** are crazy!*


I was shocked to hear Brutus talk like this, but I had, had a few beers so I guess it is not all the surprising.

Here is Ethel and her clan.
