Today that’s 4, or 3, depending on how you look at it.
See, we have the rooster we thought was a hen. Then we got a hen for her and us. Then we had a volunteer hen, but she left during the hurricane. Then we had another volunteer hen.
But the volunteers aren’t ours ours, and we have no way of keeping them if they want to leave, and we’ve got messages out for if the actual “owners” want to claim her. So, the volunteers would only count as half ours.
But, today, the bantam rooster that apparently know our volunteer hen decided he would come by for a visit. Since he isn’t ours, that’s another half bird as long as he ends up being here, which won’t be for long because our rooster is most decidedly not bantam, and has beat the ever loving hell out of things much bigger than the bantam rooster
Which means I’m on a bathroom break while we figure out what the hell to do about the visiting dignitary.
Also, said bantam rooster is currently in a spare pet carrier because the owners denied he’s theirs. I think it was a language barrier though, my Spanish is horrible and their English non existent lol.
Cute little bugger. If our rooster wouldn’t kill him, I’d just keep him and have done with it.
Lol, the committee has spoken and you were outvoted.
You could perhaps play the long game (like keeping them separated but close by, maybe with some fence or a coop, until they decide to maybe get along), but brainwashing chicken brains is hard.
I petted the chicken…FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
‘the’ chicken?
Chickens love other chickens at least half of the time, and FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!!
we have 3.
Well, two and a half

I’m voting we have him for lunch.
Thanks for the lovely background image and a slice of life, I really enjoyed it.
Chicken politics are great, tho I only knew about visiting neighbours.
They really are a mess lol.

Chickens are dinosaurs! Glory for your bravery!
