Meet Charlie. At least that is how I think of him. About a year ago a couple of roosters, each with a couple of hens started wandering around the neighborhood. No one seems to know where they came from. When the people were working on the house next door they started feeding this fellow, but they are not there all the time so when I'm home he tends to hang out around my house. One day I threw him a few sunflower seeds, so now when I'm in the house he spends most of his time looking in the screen door on my back porch. The other rooster is still around because when he crows Charlie jumps up on my porch railing and answers him. This afternoon a woman walked by talking on her cell phone and I could hear her saying, "can you hear that? he's sitting on some lady's back porch crowing." Actually he doesn't wake me up in the morning, and I kind of like having him around, but I have heard others in the neighborhood complaining.

I like him. Roosters and Peacocks wandered around Albuquerque but I have to say the birdies are fairly quiet around here. The frogs in Spring might wake you up but not the birds!
Not sure which I find more upsetting, the chicken on your porch or how green the vegetation is in the background. The rooster is upsetting because you KNOW how I feel about chickens. The green is upsetting because all we're seeing is WHITE around here these days!
That is a fine looking rooster!
Yesterday in my garden I had, three parakeets, a pheasant, a woodpecker, several robins, and a bunch of blue tits. The parakeets are Peter, Paul and Mary, and the Pheasent is Fern.
What I forgot to say on the blog was that we had banty roosters when we were growing up. One morning mother stepped out on the back porch through the bathroom door wearing only her underwear, and she always said that the rooster said, "I see Margaret". This rooster says Merry Christmas
a bunch of blue tits? Sounds like something you would see up North right now!!
