More Roosters

[azurelunatic]

Here we have Cello and Larkspur, two of the roosters my family had when I was younger. I was in my mid-teens at this time. Cello is the tall Black Langshan (same breed as Xiao Ji); Cello was named by one of Dad's little friends who had just been learning the cello. Larkspur was my sister's rooster, and a particularly sweet little fellow. He and Cello were the best of friends.

Much to everyone's dismay, Larkspur was carried off by some predator or other. My sister was heartbroken. She got a replacement rooster of the same breed, and he was named Snapdragon.

(She and I looked a lot alike. That's her.)

Hey! If you're wondering who I am or why I added you, I'm Patti. I met you last Wednesday night in San Francisco. I was at the other end of the table and I have blue hair, and I interrupted meatball eating to say hello. :)

Hi!

That is a damn big chicken. Yes it is.

Yes.

We called him "Brontogallus" every now and then, because he walked very loudly.
