Rural Gardening: Mop Head, 0 by SherryLike

Attached is a photo of 'Mop Head', whose 'do' resembles the top of a white,
kitchen mop, he is a young, Sultan roo(ster). If he was a Golden Retriever,
he would be about 18 mos. Mop Head is hopelessly in love with a Bantam
hen, but we do not know which one. We think, Little Hen, the one to the left,
inside the door, being held by 'Rue', the doorman, the Bantam roo, who
'sired' all 8 of the 'babies' inside, and is the hubby of the three adult hens,
including Little Hen. It's possible that Mop is in love with one of the 8 babies,
about 4 or 5 months old. It's a waiting game. Each night, after Mop goes to
sleep on the ladder, right outside the coop of his true love(s). I go out and
take him into the pen where he slept, until he fell, mop over heels, in love
with the Bantam hen(s), and I deposit him with the two Sultan hens, and
other 'juveniles'. Each day, I think Mop will take a break, but for 7 days, his
devotion has been steady, we will see...
