Our wwoofer, Jacob, had inherited a rooster that he had named Patrick. It resided at the previous farm he had been wwoofing at. However, that farm thought Patrick needed a new home. He was getting pretty beat up by some of the other roosters there.
So we agreed to try to host Patrick. As long as he doesn't get all "rooster-ish" on us, we will let him stay at the Bauernhof. (We don't like mean roosters. Kids love being out with our chickens, and a mean rooster can throw that all off. We work hard to only have animals here on the farm that evoke peace. You hear that Patrick?)
We've had roosters on our farm in the past. Some have attacked humans, and we've had to say good bye to them. Others have been good roosters but were taken down by hawks. But we like the idea of having a rooster. We like the noise they make. We like their protective nature. And we like the idea that if we want, we could incubate some eggs and have some chickens.
Welcome Patrick.
Be good.

He's my new favorite animal. I hope he is a good guy. We had one like him for a while named Victor.
Lovely bird.
