One of our favorite family’s activities is to go to the farm at Kensington Metropark. Of all of the animals there, one of our favorites is Gilbert the Rooster. I don’t think the people at Kensington know that we named their rooster, but my guess is that none of the chickens have names. So, no harm, no fowl (wink, wink).
Gilbert is a beautiful Rhode Island Red. He has a sense of Joie de vivre that really entertains the kids. My one son loves him so much that he asked me to paint a picture of him (see below). I dread the day that we go and we don’t see him around. Until then, we will enjoy Gilber the Roosters swagger.
