Description
A rooster from yesterday. The little buggers are fast and impatient. Constant jerky movement made it quite a challenge unlike cows who are as docile as it gets.For more frequent updates you can follow me here: www.facebook.com/eeliskyttanen…

He looks great! They are indeed fast, we have at least 8 roaming free round my neighbourhood and they're hilarious when they strut across the road with their "ladies", each one thinks he's great

Thanks! Hehe, yeah. Such proud creatures. Do you know if they are any particular breed?

You're welcome, they are indeed proud and arrogant and also have that 'little creature complex' where they think they're much larger (channelling their dino roots methinks)
Yes they are all the fayoumi breed - though there is this one very mysterious one that is micro-sized.
I didn't believe it when my sister told me about it, I laughed at her and thought she was joking, until I saw him one day and couldn't believe how small it was - it might be a pygmy but I don't see it every day, only now and then (its elusive).

Hehe, I know right! Thanks a lot for your answer. I googled the breed and oh man they are cute! Pretty cool that they are running around free there. I can imagine the micro-sized one looks pretty interesting.

You're welcome, they're like road runners (especially when they run!) oh they have homes, they come from various houses around the street and just wander about all day then go home at night. The pygmy lives on the corner (at the same house that has two adorable ducks and two fat grey hens) it's pretty interesting watching the power struggles of the various chicken gangs lol (I know I have nothing else to do! But I've seen roosters take over harems from other roosters and stand offs in the street like cowboys. I think my day would be boring if they weren't wandering around like pests)

ps. 22 people killed on average in the us by cows each year....more than sharks so their not as docile as they seem just wait for the next jaws movie: regurgitation of human flesh...

Yeah, I can believe that for sure! It always amazes me how heavy and big animals they are in the end.

Thank you! Gouache, it is basically opaque watercolour.
