Sometimes a group of mothers and toddlers comes to the garden to watch the chickens. Everytime the rooster crows, they cheer. This starts a cycle of crowing and cheering that can go on for a suprisingly long time. Yesterday, a mother asks: Does the cheering make him crow? Another mother, with experience of growing up with chickens, says no, it's normal for a rooster to crow about 10 times, with encouragement or without.
Later, he starts crowing again. We count how many times. Twelve with no cheering. So it is.
