She desperately wants a rooster, but it's just not happening in our neighborhood. I told her to be happy with our 8 girls. However, she is obsessed with the fabulous big metal chicken we saw at the tack shop where she gets her riding gear. It's Beyonce's twin, I swear! (Do you know I didn't know the Beyonce story until Janet told me about it at the Fling? I had just started reading The Bloggess but hadn't heard about Beyonce. So. Stinking.

He was a rooster from Iowa who raised money to support WWI.<br /><br />Then there is Rooster Cogburn played by John Wayne in 1975. You could call him Reubon as a nickname, since Rooster was Reubon's nickname. <br /><br />You could call him Colonel Sanders but that might make the hens nervous. <br /><br />A not so quite famous rooster, Rooster Alan-a-Dale, who narrated the Disney animated Robin Hood & did a very good job I might add.<br /><br />Chanticleer is another I think most of us have heard of. <br /><br />This has been so much fun! I do I hope I win. <br /><br />I will add, I spent yesterday touring Moss Farms, P Allen Smith's farm & he has a large metal rooster very similar to this one in his barn. <br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.com
