This guy might be the reason for one of Solly’s other roosters only hanging out with the one hen and not associating with the rest of the crowd. All the other hens are closely watched by The Black Pirate, making sure not one of them strays too far.

Solly's other rooster - always keeping an eye open for the Black Pirate!
