@honanbm I must have a folder of crowing pictures somewhere that I can't find, because the picture I was thinking of isn't there.
Will any of these work as a reference or partial reference?

These are great!!! I like that he is white... It gave me a cool idea bout coloration, etc.
I really appreciate the pics!

Oh my gosh every time I check on them I fall in love a little more. They’re all bedded down in the hay, it’s too cute watching them preen each other.

Notice the welsummer is the only one looking at me.
“Don’t worry ma, we’re fine.”

Are they your first chickens or do you have others?

Just wait until they start dust bathing on top of each other. It’s the best.

Third round of chickens. First was as a kid, second I had to rehome when Hurricane Harvey hit.
This was my last flock. Many are still alive and well, currently living at my in-laws ranch.

240 messages to catch up on. You all have a really bad taste in music.

She said, listening to Enya...

In addition to our weirdo music, don't we all listen to "normal" tunes too?
I know I love Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, almost anything from the 80's, David Bowie, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Steve Winwood, Neko Case, shoot, I even like some country. The country is mostly for nastalgic reasons, but I enjoy it all the same.

If by “normal” you mean “songs I would put on if my mom was in the car,” then yea, I’ve got a playlist for that. Sure as hell doesn’t have country on it though lol. Normal is relative.

Had to share, thought of y'all. The EE chicks were put in with the hens last night for the very first time. Tonight we have 2 on the roost and 4 in the doorway. Way too cute. BUT they went into the coop!!! Way too happy. The tractor is free.

Our song, see who knows it:
I think you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel like you belong
A nocturnal vacation
Unnecessary sedation
You want to feel at home 'cause you belong

Really a sweet song. Crazy Lady put me on the spot and I picked this one. It stuck. Yes, I'm 100 pages behind. Conquering the universe takes time.

@Tesumph - the more you can add, the more they pick through. Adding a pile of leafy branches is great. I have a pile of debris that I just keep adding to, then dump it on the compost pile. They jump on the compost and pick at it more.

Cheers with rum!
