Pardoned Rooster

Tarrick

Tarrick is one lucky little rooster.  We were loading up the others to head over to our friends’ farm for the processing last evening and decided at the last minute to keep Tarrick  a while longer and see how things worked out in the flock.  He is such a little guy and wouldn’t really be worth the work of processing him.  He is a little trouble maker, constantly worrying the guineas and some of the other chickens, but he has never shown aggression towards us – yet.  I’m thinking that if we let him mix in the larger flock with the older rooster, Percy will help to keep him in line.

He is a beautiful bird and I don’t feel right about killing him just because he is a pain in the patooty! But he better behave himself or the next processing day that comes around may turn out differently!
