... is my territory now! I'm the new stud rooster in town, and I'm here to show you how it's done."
The old rooster, not one to be easily intimidated, takes a moment to size up his competition. With a wry smile, he responds, "Son, I've been ruling this roost for years. I've seen more sunrises than you've seen days. Let's not get our tail feathers ruffled just yet. How about a little friendly competition to see who's really the top cock around here?"
The new rooster, eager to prove himself, agrees. They decide on a simple contest: a crowing competition to see who can make the most noise and wake up the farm the earliest.
The next morning, the two roosters stand side by side, ready for the challenge. As the first light of dawn breaks, they both puff up their chests and let out their most powerful crows. The sound echoes through the farm, and even the cows start to moo in surprise.
After a few rounds, it becomes clear that the new rooster has a bit more energy and volume in his crow. The old rooster, realizing that he might have met his match, concedes graciously, "Alright, you win, young fella. You've got the lungs for it. But remember, being a rooster is about more than just crowing loudly. It's about protecting your hens, teaching the chicks, and strutting your stuff with style."
The new rooster nods in respect, acknowledging the wisdom in the old rooster's words. From that day on, the two roosters coexist peacefully on the farm, each one contributing to the well-being of the flock in their own way. And so, the farm continues to wake up to the sounds of their combined crows, a testament to the passing of the torch from one generation to the next in the world of poultry.
