It's official - one of the three Mutts born January 9, 2023 is a rooster. Patches - now Mr. Patches - announced his Rooster-Ness this morning with a wing flap and a tiny "err-err-err-err-err". He repeated this a few times to be sure we didn't miss it.
He's gorgeous, adorable, and we're happy to know he's going to be a rowdy rooster - now we can start planning for his misbehaving and future isolation from other roosters.
Welcome, Mr. Patches!
For future reference, Mr. Patches crowed his first crow at 9 1/2 weeks.
