"El cuento de un gallo rey": Lecciones de coraje, liderazgo y poder."
Fue una fría mañana de febrero de 2023 cuando dejamos a nuestras 23 gallinas y 1 gallo fuera del gallinero por segundo día consecutivo, a pesar de la lluvia y el clima nublado. Mientras salíamos para una prueba del equipo infantil de béisbol de USA, no podía sacudirme el pensamiento del siempre acechante halcón, pero lo descarté rápidamente. El lunes por la mañana, vi plumas dispersas en el césped del patio trasero y hacia la parte trasera de la propiedad donde se encontraban el gallinero, el corral de caballos y los troncos de madera. Era claro que el halcón había atacado de nuevo, y me sentí culpable por confiar en la esperanza y el clima para proteger a nuestras gallinas, después de todo la naturaleza nunca descansa. Me pillaron desprevenido una vez más.

"The Tale of the Fallen Rooster: Lessons in Courage, Leadership, and Power"
It was a cold February morning in 2023 when we left our 23 chickens and 1 rooster out of the coop for the second day in a row, despite the rain and overcast weather. As we left for a team USA baseball team tryout, I couldn't shake off the thought of the always looming hawk, but quickly dismissed it. On Monday morning, I saw scattered feathers on the backyard lawn and towards the back of the property where the coop, horse corral, and wood logs were located. It was clear that the hawk had attacked again, and I felt guilty for relying on hope and the weather to protect our chickens, after all nature never rests. I was caught slipping once again.
