Spent the day outside enjoying nature & watching my #PetChickens enjoy some fresh grass. We have a lot of predation issues from the neighbors' cat, so guard roosters have become essential.

@Laplantgenetics Back when my wife and I kept chickens we also kept a few geese. Geese don't play. Lol.
@shuttersparks Geese also tend to be nice to only one human and we need something that won't attack humans (all our roosters were selected for not attacking humans and several even enjoy being held). Mostly they just vocalize "we can see you" to the cat and that is sufficient to keep it from attacking. It is also why our yard is a haven for wild birds--the roosters let them know where the cat is as well.
