Strut is a dutiful and conscientious rooster, I like to think of him as an evolving male, as he is gentle for a rooster. He guards his hens, steering them away danger or the road (away from Frieda), he led a glorious walk this beautiful morning into the pasture for the first time where the delighted chickens came across mountains of leaves, donkey and horse droppings, heretofore undiscovered bugs. Strut is the last one in the roost and the first one out. He has an air of purpose about him, he is determined, I think, to be a rooster.
