Speedy has left me, she has flown the coup. I can no longer compete with Derek her boyfriend. Tonight as I was putting all the ducks to bed, Speedy was climbing up the mango tree to sit with Derek. I called out to her "Speedy come down here," "Speed you have to go to bed now, its going to rain tonight you'll get wet", and generally just called her name. But further up she climbed towards Derek, resisting my advances. I could hear Derek making his rooster noises calling her up. She's flown the coup, she's ditched me and the ducks.
Although she hasn't gone for long because as soon as this rain stops the snakes will start and that's when I'll get out a big stick and get her out of the tree that way. Derek can't compete with that.
I saw Old Boy mating with a hen today. I was actually pretty pleased as I didn't think he was capable anymore. I head some chicken noises so I looked over from where I was weeding and saw Old Boy at it. I actually yelled out "Good on you Old Boy, I didn't think you had it in you." The reason why I'm so pleased about this is I wont feel so bad about killing the younger roosters knowing that were still keeping one that mates. After all I've got to keep those sluts happy.

Well we knew this day was eventually going to come. Guess you have to let her live and learn, and try not to say "I told you so" when he breaks her little chuck heart. So hard to let them go, isn't it?
Here little chuck heart must surely be broken today. See blog above.
Sorry I'm really bad with the spelling. Her little chuck heart.
