A beautifully written tribute to a fascinating rooster. I will now go crow at the day, Warclucks style!

Your story of Daddy brought tears to my eyes, because we too, have a rooster that only seems to hate me. And I have NOT been very nice back to him. In fact, I'm ashamed, but I'm very passive-aggressive in my behavior toward him. So we BOTH aren't very nice to each other. But after reading that you not only put up with him, but honored him in his retirement, I'm rethinking my behavior. Maybe "Jake" is just Jake, and I should be more accepting. And carry a pitchfork.

Excellent requiem for a rooster! They are such strange characters. You did right by him, even if he was a jerk to you.

And I love seeing you out paddling!

“Strongest male characteristics” — and then you went on to describe them 😂. Delightful. RIP Daddy W. He was lucky to have lived with you.
