Poor little Roscoe. He cannot figure out how to get in to visit the hens. 13 hens. No roosters. We’re torturing the poor little guy. They check him out through the fence but they aren’t nearly as interested in him as he is in them. They’re full sized hens. He’s a little Bantam rooster . . a short little guy. But he surely is a pretty little guy.
I think they’re mostly concerned that he could be catching bugs before they hop through the fence, thereby depriving them of their treats.
But, Roscoe doesn’t give up. He grooms himself.
He checks all his feathers and makes sure he’s presentable to the ladies.
He crows.
And he crows . .
And no matter what he does, the ladies don’t pay any attention to him. And, then he remembers the commercial where the man is too short and he uses the shoe inserts. Roscoe looks at his feet and he has no shoes so he doubts shoe inserts will do him any good.
He decides he’ll climb up on the rock and maybe he will appear to be taller and then the ladies will look at him.
Didn’t help much. The girls still just pass him on by. Roscoe can’t figure out why getting a little taller worked so well for the guy in the commercial and didn’t help him at all. I told him . . Roscoe, you can’t believe everything you see on TV.

Poor guy. Cute story — and so true about not believing what’s seen and heard on TV!
Susan says
You are too funny. You must have been out there with the camera snapping shots forever to get just the right ones!

He sure is a pretty little guy. Just don’t understand those hens!
We had a mean rooster when I was a little girl, couldn’t get to the outhouse w/o my big sister w/a broom in her hand. Ya, my Dad thought it was real laugh outloud funny ’til the dang thing attack him – one rooster with a broken neck instantly then.

Poor Roscoe. Lots of space to roam in and all he can think about is girls. Wait – that sounds like the typical teenager….

Roscoe is a handsome dude….Maybe you should collect his pictures and write a granddaughter book??? I can see it 🙂 “The Adventures of Roscoe” by Grandma Judy!!! You sure make all of us Bloggers smile.

I think a book about Roscoe and his adventures would be a wonderful children’s book.
