Hey we had a new visitor. Remember last week when I posted a Gopher Snake that we saw in the yard. Well now we have this lovely Bull Snake! Last year just before winter I caught a stunning King Snake! I feel blessed to have them. So far the chicks are safe from them. No worries there.

They say if you have these bull snakes on your property they keep the rattlers away

5lbs of meat on my extra Marans Rooster and he did have some long hairs that had to be singed off.  But this is the weird thing.  We called him Testosterone because he developed a huge comb and was crowing long before the other cockerels.

WARNING BUTCHERED CHICKEN PARTS PIC IS NEXT......NOT REALLY GRAPHIC, BUT DON'T WANT ANYONE UPSET.

That Cockerel had the biggest boy parts I have seen yet

Weird huh??  Guess that is why he was causing so much drama in the Bachelor Pad.

Welcome GoldBarRanch!!

Had a really windy, cold and some rain squal go through Wittmann! When I went out to see if all was well I found one chick out cold. Not sure if it was thrown or didn't get under Cotton's wing fast enough. It was barely alive but I stuffed it in between my boobs and finished getting one area that blew over in the goat pen taken care of. By the time I was in the house some life was stirring. Put the chick on a heating pad and was able to return it to Cotton about 2 hours after I found it! Big Boobs can be good for something!
