Rooster feeding his hens
Our take
Meet my rooster, the self-appointed guardian of the flock—he’s a bit of a jerk to me, but I get it; he’s just doing his job protecting his hens! While he may strut around like he owns the place, there’s a softer side to this feathered fellow when it comes to his girls. Watching him feed them is a delightful sight; he’s like a clucky little waiter, ensuring they get the best peck of the day. It’s a perfect reminder that even the most protective roosters have a sweet spot for their hens. So, while he may ruffle my feathers now and then, I can’t help but appreciate the tender moments he shares with his flock.
