We let our birds wander freely on our farm, but most of them decide to stay at home in the pen. Truck likes the pen a lot, but also likes his daily walks. When you visit our farm, you'll be greeted by Truck the rooster. If you're a dog, kitty, coyote or a...

Our tiny bantam rooster, a polish tophat, who is quite insane,was treated to some bread today. He angrily thrashed it, tore it, sparring with it for minutes... And ate it happily. We think he has inferiority issues.

Just a quick update. Our stray Rooster has a name!!! His new name is: "Beau-Cocks" (get it? Beau-cocks...Botox!) My husband has a rather strange sense of humor. Another Blogger made the recommendation to name him Beau, that's all hubby needed...

Yesterday evening, Dianna and I had somewhere to go, so Bob had to put the turkeys and chickens away. He didn't say anything about the birds when we got home, so we presumed all was well. Just before he went upstairs to bed, he stopped and asked...

We have a new head rooster. He’s more mature thant the other roosters, but smaller because of his breed. It’s very confusing to everyone.

We always are keeping an eye out for new birds for our flock. Sometimes we're adopting from shelters, other times from other farmers. Sometimes we take on extra birds from breeders.
We just bought 3 roosters from an enterprising young...

Whew! I think that about says it all. The sun is bright today in our part of the world, which does wonders for everyone's spirits. The dog (well, still a puppy) is getting lots of exercise these past few days. Jeff took a few days off of work to do something...
