You're too funny, Allan!! Sometimes they do sound like they're 'screamin' especially the younger roosters that have finally learned they can make a lot of noise :-)!!

You can get a lot more outside the store in the parking lot, Patty (LOL!)!

Don't worry, Marcie, there's no way I'd try to get close to this hen. They can be brutal!!!

Thank You! very much for your support and wonderful encouragement, Sanjay, Dan, Allan, Kathleen, Patty, Janet, Charlene, Stacey, Marcie and Terry. I'm very appreciative of all of your kind and gracious responses!!
Happy Holidays!
Much Aloha,
Stan
