George W. Our Black Polish Rooster

George W., Our Black Polish Rooster finds himself protecting our backyard poultry flock with grace and majesty.
Last Summer I had pulled a broody hen off some eggs to remove some broken shells and clean up her surroundings. George sensing that I was hurting the hen, did his due diligence and speared me with his talons. For the rest of the summer I sported a two inch scar on my calf. Note to self: wear jeans, not shorts when cleaning up or tending my flock. Also, Know where George is at all times.
We have quite a large flock for our backyard and each and every animal has such a character and are so interesting that at times, Michelle and I find ourselves just sitting and observing these regal creatures that grace our backyard.
George W. is the Rooster of all our Roosters. He has one special hen, we call Phyllis. Her top hat reminds us of Phyllis Diller’s hair. I will post her photo another time. She is the first hen that will great you and follow you around every where.
Our dog Daisy enjoy’s an egg as we go about our tasks. Phyllis will actually chase Daisy around the yard to get that egg. It is so funny to watch this little Black Polish hen put the fear of God into our big pup, Daisy.
I pray you surround yourself with life and love as Michelle and I have. It truly, truly makes all the difference in the world.
