carefully opened the door, and the rooster, who

had lodged himself up at the top of the door, fell
out in a pile in the snow.
"We thought he was dead until he slowly

raised his head and looked at us before dropping
his head back into the snow. No one wanted to
get near him in case it was an act, and he would

attack, so we went back into the house for a while.
But when we came back out, he was still lying

there. Finally, we picked him up and put him
back in the hen house for the night until we could
figure out what to do with him.
"But the next day, when we went to gather

eggs, the rooster didn't bother us at all. In fact, he
acted all friendly-like. He has never bothered

anyone since then. He's probably afraid if he
does, he will have to go through another therapy
session with the turkey."

I smiled. There is nothing like a good turkey
therapy session to make a mean rooster nice.
