How's the serenity?

Just another day at Hydrorancho. Watching Old Boy sleep makes me feel calm and relaxed. I had Derek penned up so that Old Boy could wander around, but he ended up staying in the pen catching some rays. I think the new Young Boy is going to become stew, he is really rough with the ladies and Speedy is really scared of him. He was chasing her all over the ranch yesterday trying to mate with her. She ended up following me as she knew I'd protect her. All the feathers on the head were on end. The thing about Young Boy is that he even chases the oldest hen we have, to mate with her. (This hen's toes are all wonky and look broken. I think she may be a little inbred.) I'll take a photo of her feet, she is a precious chicken, but I've warmed to her since Grey Bitch died. I never thought I'd say this but I'm beginning to warm to Derek as I really dislike this new Young Boy. Speedy loves Derek so maybe I should find it within myself to like him too.
