I think my Wyandotte is a very smart roosteršŸ˜†

Our take

Meet Steven, my Wyandotte rooster with a personality as bold as his beautiful feathers! Our relationship has been a wild ride—while he’s never attacked me (yet!), I can feel his watchful gaze, always ready to perform his little rooster dance whenever I approach the coop. Just the other day, I was busy filling buckets with water for my baby trees when I heard a flurry of frantic squawks from Steven. Rushing over, I discovered that their waterer had toppled over, and to my shock, Steven was signaling for help! It dawned on me that this clever bird was using his vocal skills to get my attention. How amazing is that? A chicken, alerting me to a problem—talk about a feathered friend with brains!

I have had a turbulent relationship with my Wyandotte rooster, Steven. Although he has never attacked me, I can tell that he wants to. He’s constantly watching me, waiting to strike, and does his little rooster dancey dance whenever I approach the coop.

A few days ago, I was filling up some buckets with water to go nourish my little baby trees. All of a sudden, I heard some startling squawks coming from a frantic Steven. I assumed that perhaps an animal had entered their run. With haste, I ran over to see what the commotion was, and to my astonishment, I quickly realized that their waterer was knocked down, and Steven was signaling for help! How freaking smart is that for a chicken?! He saw me with water and made noise to get my attention for help! I was stunned.
