The Surprise Rooster

 

We've suspected it for some time now - Silver Dawn is in fact a rooster. S/he cock-a-doodle-doo'd yesterday. Roosters are prettier than hens, I have to say. And Silver Dawn is a real looker. The boys and I will be sad to see him go, but we're close to neighbors and I don't want to bum anyone out.

Well, I've done it again. Five new chickens - they really needed a home. So we decided to give them one. They are only 7 weeks old, so they aren't wandering the yard yet. But when they are big enough to fend off Kitty I'll let them wander. They seem happy enough to peck around the run for now. That makes 21 - after Silver Dawn finds a new home.

A shot of one nameless lady - I've been calling her Psuedo-Fudge Face, because she looks a little like Fudge Face but she's not. Maybe this is the one the boys call Nerdy. Getting hard to keep track.
