How Floki found his voice

Every proud rooster has to learn how to crow first.

Here is how Floki's voice developed - from a 3 months old little boy's attempts to a full grown man's roar ...uhm...crow.

Two more days until Ragnar and his crew, with Ubba, left Kattegat and explored a new land. Where they were going, Ivar didn't know, and it seemed that no one wanted to say. He sat at the table, with his head on his folded hands, again he caught himself counting the nuts in front of him, annoyed he rolled his eyes and flinched briefly when Hvitserk suddenly pulled the chair in front of him forward and sat down on it. He slammed his feet down on the table, dirt falling from his shoes as he did so. "Nothing... Nobody tells me anything..." - "Not to you either?" asked Ivar in astonishment, this was not like the people at all, they loved Hvitserk. "I should have fucking gone with Ubba, then I'd be going too in two days" Ivar leaned back and looked around annoyed "You repeat yourself quite a lot" he saw Hvitserk shrug his shoulder. "I'm just telling you the truth" Ivar was starting to get angry, at the moment everything immediately infuriated him.

But before he could say anything in reply, Hvitserk looked at him "Leave it, Ivar, I don't want to argue" he reached for the bowl with the thirty-five nuts. Yes, no matter how many times he counted them, he always came up with the same number. And as soon as Hvitserk started eating, he counted again, confused at himself, he shook his head and looked away. "Ivar?" his brother asked smacking his lips and stuffing more nuts into his mouth, "Didn't it ever occur to you that this was the opportunity......" - "Maybe you should make your mouth fuller, then I'll understand you better" His brother grinned and stuffed the nuts into his mouth and tried to say something. Ivar just shook his head in disbelief at his brother. Hvitserk put the bowl on the table and Ivar watched him try to chew. "Yes, I have thought about it" he said, knowing what his brother wanted to say. Astonished, he looked at him and raised an index finger. "Whatever you want to say, I'll do it without you" Now his brother looked at him frowning and swallowed. "Wait a minute, I'm not going to tell you not to do it" - "Good" said Ivar.

Hvitserk was just opening his mouth when Floki hit him on the shoulder. Ivar smiled when he saw Hvitserk flinch and turn to him. Floki looked at Ivar grinning, "Tell me old man, where are you going with my father?" Floki giggled and looked around, but there was no one in the great hall but them. "If I told you that, you young hairless chick, I'd have to kill you" - "But an old rooster like you gets to go?" - "Only the old are the wise and I don't see where you have become wise" - "You are an old fisherman without a boat if you think I won't learn" - "And you are the fish that goes on the line even though there is no bait on it" Floki spoke and they both looked at each other urgently. Hvitserk had looked from one to the other and looked rather as if he could not follow.

But then Floki and Ivar started grinning. "Tell me, where is your father?" Ivar raised his hands "If I told you that, old ass, I'd have to kill you" Floki chuckled up "Then I know where to find him. Thank you, Ivar" he patted Hvitserk's shoulder again and headed off to his father's private rooms, he was looking after Floki in amazement. "I don't know what's going on between you both, but it always confuses me" Floki had just disappeared through the curtain when Ivar looked at his brother, he was gathering the small pieces of nuts from the Bowl and eating them. "And I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm amazed how one can be so greedy" Hvitserk laughed "What I wanted to say..." he looked around again "Of course I'm with you Ivar, but you should know that I don't want to hurt or kill Sigurd" again Ivar raised his hands and looked shocked "I would never do that" but actually he wouldn't mind anything happening to Sigurd.

But he was torn, he was his brother, but had no feelings for him. Because Sigurd had already started making fun of him since they were little. They argued and fought, and of course he did the same with his other brothers. Even he and Hvitserk argued and fought and when this happened it always got out of hand, but it was forgotten the next day, besides Hvisterk never made fun of him for being a cripple, he even avoided calling him that unless they were in said argument. But he could never forgive Sigurd, and he never forgot any of it. He looked from his fingers back to his brother and realized that he didn't really believe him. "Hvitserk, do you really think I would kill one of my brothers?" It pained him somewhat that his brother believed that and Hvitserk took a long time to slowly shake his head, but if he was honest, he didn't really know himself.

"So... Fire?... Maybe...we should...tonight" Hvitserk spoke cautiously "No, definitely not tonight" - "Why?" - "As long as Ubba is here, we don't do anything" spoke Ivar, thinking back to how Ubba said that he could be quite different too, if Ivar doesn't refrain from teasing Sigurd. He didn't want to feel his wrath and for the first time he was even happy that his older brother was going with his father, even if he had liked to have his place. "That means we still have two more days, and we can think of something by then?" - "I don't have to think of anything, Hvitserk" - "You have a plan?" his brother asked, his eyebrows furrowed questioningly. Ivar nodded and asked him if he knew the Old Hut that stood outside Kattegat. It was built there so that hunters could stow their prey and continue hunting. But as Kattegat grew, the paths for the hunters became wider and wider, because the animals no longer approached the city, and the hut now stood abandoned.

"Yes, but what do you want with the hut, Ivar?" his brother now asked, becoming more and more skeptical and Ivar had the feeling that he knew exactly what he was up to, but he didn't want to admit it. "It's made of wood and if we put straw in it. Then it will burn even better" - "And you want to lock Sigurd in there?" Hvitserk took his feet off the table and shook his head skeptically, "That's madness. I told you I don't want to kill him" Ivar laughed out and wiped his face with both hands "If he's inside, nothing will happen to him, the fire is outside. But it will give him quite a fright, and he'll scream like a girl, and that's when we'll let him out" - "How are you going to do that? If everything is on fire, then we won't be able to open the door" Hvitserk said, shaking his head again, "That sounds very risky to me." - "We are not going to set the door on fire. What do you think about me?" he asked, confused.

His brother bit his lower lip, he always did this when he was thinking, "So, you want to lure Sigurd into the hut and lock it and then set the hut on fire? How are you going to lure him there, and how are you going to set the hut on fire? It won't burn any time soon" his brother asked, looking at him urgently. "No, no .... I'll explain it to you" Ivar said and really had to explain everything to his brother, but soon his brother nodded. He said it was a good plan, but Ivar had to promise him not to hurt or kill Sigurd. "That's a plan," he said again, raising the Bowl "I'll go and get something to eat," he said, grinning widely as Ivar rolled his eyes again. But he was not alone for long, Ragnar joined him, Floki raised his hand briefly in farewell, and he did the same.

"Still offended?" Ragnar asked him and Ivar laughed briefly, but it died away as quickly as it had come. "Of course not," he said seriously, but he avoided looking at his father. "Good, then I can tell you that I am taking Ubba, Bjorn and Aslaug with me" Ubba was clear, Bjorn as well, but at his mother... "Mother?" he asked confused, she had never travelled with him before. She was not a shield maid. "And who, please, is supposed to keep watch here, when no one is around?" Ragnar grinned broadly. "Do you really think I haven't thought it through?" - Oh no, please don't say it.... - he thought as his father was already saying who should stand in for him for so long "Sigurd" he swallowed and cocked his head to one side, he couldn't be serious, could he? That would change everything. "Hvitserk is much older than he...." - "Maybe, but I have decided" Ragnar spoke sternly and stood up. - Life couldn't get any better - Ivar thought to himself, but this wouldn't change his plan, he was sure of it.

End.

Athelstan: Floki, how can I get back on your good side?

Floki: It’s gonna take about three weeks of not talking to me.

[i-like-the-eyes]

While Metty and Madie absolutely take after their mothers I've said it from the start: Milly is looking a lot like Floki.

They are just on different ends of the color spectrum.

Just look at them as babies. That's the same cute little face!

[i-like-the-eyes]

Sure...Dream has his cute little raven...

...but this Nightmare has a pretty big cock🐓❤️

Shoutout to my rooster, Floki, for being the best boy!

I just brought out some spaghetti for the chickens and he took some to the fence so one of my neighbor's hens could have some, too.

Even made his "come here, I have food!"-noise while shoving it towards her.

I love that kid! ❤️🐓

[i-like-the-eyes]

He is the best❤️

📷 - A picture of my rooster Floki❤️

My lockscreens tend to be pics of my pets^^

💛 - Yes, one small black helix piercing on my right ear. I love it! Always wanted one since I was like...15? And finally got it after I quit my old job at the age of 28. It's just a small thing but it means a lot to me.

🎧 - Headphones! I can't stand earbuds! Don't like the feeling.

Thank you❤️I always try my best to give my pets everything they need and to do proper research on their needs

And now...I gotta make it short cause girl, I’ve got a whole little zoo here 😂

You aready know the tiny birds now and you know the bunny siblings.

Chubby, Smol Bean and Rolf-Jürgen.

Smol Bean was the smallest of their litter and Chubby was the biggest. Chubby is the smallest now. Bean is the biggest in my group but their sister, Tinchen, is even bigger.

Rolf-Jürgen is the one of the group with the brain cell. Beanie’s and Chubby’s heads are only filled with cotton candy and that’s fine.

I took the kids in when they were still very young. The litter was never supposed to happen but the people I got them from thought they have two bunnies who are sisters. Turned out they were brother and sister...oh well...

My chickens...

We started with a group of 4. The only one left is boss bitch Bernadette. Also known as “Bernadette the Terror Chicken”.

She may be small but that girl can kick some serious ass!

Then we have my beloved rooster - Floki.

He is the son of our former group boss hen - Penny. But he and his hald brother Malte were hatched and raised by Bernie.

Floki is my everything! He loves to jump/sit on my arm or shoulder and he loved cuddles. I love this boy more than words can say and I’m proud of what a man this little kid has become. Just wish his brother, Malte, was still with us. The two were inseparable!

Malte is on the left, Floki on the right:

And there is my little nightmare - Sadie.

She is a little diva and can be quite the pain in the ass but I love her a lot! She is fucking tiny btw!

And she also like to sit on me.

Then we have Josie.

She is Bernadette’s right hand hen. And she is a huge chonker!

I tend to just call her Floof.

Let’s come to the vacuums: Sonja and her sister Tiffany.

While Tiffy is very much into hanging out with humans and loves getting treats Sonja is more interested in learning from Bernie and is not interested in us much. Tiffy even hops on my arm for treats sometimes.

Their voices are also veeery different from each other. Tiffy still sounds like a tiny girl while Sonja almost has a voice as deep as Josie’s.

Mila - we got them as a rescue. They had to live at an egg farm under horrible circumstances for the first year of their life. They don’t even lay eggs since they are intersex. Lucky for them no one noticed or they would probably not be alive anymore.

While Mila does mostly look like a hen they can also crow but only do so in the early morning.

And last but not least - Sissi (first pic) and Elisabeth.

They are super lovely girls and their feathers are softer than soft!

Betty knows her name and comes running when you call her<3

A few weeks ago Sissi got attacked by a hawk but I was able to save her in time. She did recover very well and I’m glad I didn’t lose her.

Soo...now you have seen them all^^

At least the ones the ones that are alive.

Okay I will ask! Im curious about your pets! I have budgie named Fred and he is pretty kinky 😁😁.

Fred is a real cutie!

We have 4 budgies.

Ella, Uwi, Bruce and Quentin.

In summer 2021 Uwi was found by our mayor with his chickens when she was still very young and we offered to take her in. We made sure to get a friend for her since she was very unhappy alone. So we got Ella soon after.

Since they are both girls and have very different charcter traits we got them the two boys from our local animal shelter this year.

So we have a whole happy group now. It's a joy to see them flying around and hear them singing. Even tho they can get a (lot) bit loud sometimes XD

Wanna know more about the rest of my pets, too or just the budgies?

[worstloki]

Sooo I also have 9 chickens and 10 roosters but I don't want to spam you... So I will just show you Floki, the youngest of the bunch.

👀👀👀 cheeken???? F... Loki?????? 👀👀👀
