A farmer buys a young rooster to replace his old one.
The young rooster struts in and says, “All these hens are mine now, old man.”

The young rooster laughs, “Easy.”
They lock up in the dirt. The old rooster pretends to struggle, then lets the young one flip him and mount him.
Just then the farmer walks out, sees the young rooster on top, shakes his head, raises his shotgun and fires.
“Damn,” he mutters, “that’s the third gay rooster I’ve bought this year.”
