Tiny Tim Learns to Crow

I can't even begin to tell you just how hard I've been laughing, for two days now! Yesterday evening, Tiny Tim started crowing. We've never heard him crow before, and it's likely that he's just now figuring out how.

The nights have been in the low 30s to high 20s, and that's just too cold for Tiny Tim to be out with the others, so we keep him in a small kennel in our utility room at night. I took this little video this morning, while we waited for it to warm up enough for him to go back outside with the rest of his chicken friends.

The little "hiccup" he does at the end of his crow is there every time! It's a stinkin' RIOT!!

Oh, and by the way, to make the entries about Tiny Tim easier to find, I've created a Tiny Tim the Frizzled Roo category - you'll find it over on the right side, in the categories section. Who knew such a crazy little chicken would have such a following! I'll get the other posts about Tiny Tim added to that category as well.

The video:

You should be able to view the video here on my blog, but if not here is a link to the video as posted on YouTube.

PS: Looks like it's time to toss Tiny Tim's coat in the wash! *grin*

Tiny Tim is a hoot!!!!! I watched his crowing deput and to be honest, your chuckle made me laugh more than his crow! We love you Tiny Tim, don't let anyone tell you that you are not special *smile* Also, i'm new to your blog, and i just love it! You remind ME, of me....hey, if your looking for a cool place to live, just go hang out by Carla's house, she will feel sorry for you and take you in! My friends actually tease me, that i have a sign outside my house and it reads "Come One, Come All, Carla Will Take You In."

[Shellie Daniel]

Oh my, your rooster is quite the bird! My husband and I have laughed and laughed over him and your comments to him. So cute! He needs you to survive. :)

[Kerry Fitzpatrick]

I played Tiny Tim's video for my 3 year old Grandson and he LOVED it. Made me play it over and over and tried to crow like Tiny Tim. We all LOVE his coat!!! He looks so dapper. Very Charles Dickens.
Thanks for sharing Tiny Tim's accomplishment!

[Mary Lou]

So cute. I enjoy listening to Roosters when they are learning to crow. It sounds like they are hitting puberty with a change of voice.
HA.

[Shala]

Oh, he is doing so WELL! Good for him! Listening to the young roosters learn to crow was always such a blast cuz you could laugh at them and you couldn't laugh at the boys in Choir at school! He's such a sweetie. Thanks SO much for the video! :))))

[gail]

Anna,

You make me laugh! I love seeing your animals online-- I get onto my email everyday and just to see what you have posted. I'm a farmers wife but all we have is boring cow's not any entertaining chickens.
I've linked you to my store site if that is okay with you- www.paradisescrapbooking.com
let me know if it isn't okay with you.

[Etha]

LOL, hilarious!! Thanks for sharing :) totally love his coat ;)

[maryann grove]

I really came to tears with that last crow. Such a great pictorial. And to crow on command. Better sign him up for Hollywood. Thanks so much for sharing... MaryAnn

[Laura]

He is such a cutie!!! :) But how in earth did he manage to make his coat so filthy already?

[Kittie Caracciolo]

I am dying! This is so fun to see. Is Tiny Tim going to get to wear his Christmas coat closer to Christmas?? hehe

[Sue]

That is hysterical Anna...I agree with the person who said Tiny Tim needs his own set of stamps. I can't wait to see him in his Christmas outfit! Did you make a santa hat too?
Hmm..and then a pink one for valentine's day.... LOL

[Laurie in MN]

I would like to join the TIny Tim fan club.

I love his unique and very personalized crow. Tiny Tim has a style all his own.

[Sandy Hulsart]

Now, mama, that is no way to talk about your handsome boy. He is just too darn cute and the cough at the end of his crow is a riot. I think you have a star on your hands.

[dcorder]

ROFL!!!!!

[Mary]

Tiny Tim is a riot! That hiccup beats all! My hubby wonders what's wrong with me laughing so much. It's Tiny Tim's fault. ;-)
-Mary

[kat]

OMG - He's hilarious - I bet he thinks he's some big sexy, manly rooster!!!! Thanks for the good laugh!

[inkypaws]

Tiny Tim needs his own stamp with his little coat on! Just think, someday, he may be the most famous chicken in the world! Keep sharing!

[Molly B.]

Im laughing so hard I think im gonna PIMP! First of all I had forgoten about Tiny Tim wearing a coat and I thought he had lost all of his feathers. Then his crow! It is just too much. I love your blog and all of your animals. Makes my day when I see a post by you in my reader. -Molly B
