spookyeviloneI took the two cocks outside for a bit today, to get them used to.. y'know.. the fact that there IS an 'outside'. T'Oliver flipped his shit for a moment, and then went, "WAIT!... there are BUGS out here!" and proceeded to merrily chomp his way through a bunch of sluggishly moving roly poly bugs. Tennyson is a drama queen. He wigged and screamed and paced and hopped in agitation and basically just went bugshit the entire time.
There are no pictures, because my yard is thawing and gross. Once I rake it and it looks more presentable, and I have actual runs for the birds built, there will be photos. Oh yes, there will be photos.
The neighbors came over for some double cock admiration. "Those are chickens? And they're full grown? But they're so small!" Yes, it's true - both my cocks are remarkably small. For Seramas, though, this is a good thing. I'm pretty sure T'Oliver's a Class B - possibly as large as a C. Tennyson is definitely a B or possibly an A - I haven't weighed him. Peaches is a C, but I don't know what the yet-to-hatch chicks will be. The size of the parents doesn't correlate to the size of the chicks, nor do the colours. My cocks are very, very pretty, though. So's the hen, but she's kind of a spaz.
That was our adventure today.
