I'd like to introduce you to Zeke the rooster. Zeke "the hen" came to us last September after being caught sometime during the Ruth Lake rodeo. My favorite Aunt B assured us that he'd provide us with love and eggs and we readily agreed to take "her" in. A couple months later, we noticed that Zeke appeared to have a bad case of laryngitis and for some reason liked to announce "her" good morning with a funky crow. A crowing hen? Sure, it happens - but not to "Miss" Zeke. He later showed us his true gentle colors and an almighty crow. He's the king of our yard and front porch, for that matter. Fortunately, he's a very gentle rooster and does a great job of protecting his ladies. Plus, he's an excellent alarm clock for those of us who are early risers - even on Sunday mornings.
