In 2008 I had to give up my little chicken family (Rocky the Rooster, Marilyn Monroe (his favorite Leghorn), the Twins, Flower Topper (ate the tops off my flowers), and more. I still feel a twinge in my heart after all these years because I'd sit for hours just watching my babies free range in my large yard. I created a blog back then and called it Diary of a Chicken Watcher. To the point, those were Oriental Bantams. Now I have the big guys. A Barred Rock, a Rhode Island Red, a rooster that is a Buff Orphington and one Orphington hen (spelled wrong). I'll be back with pictures of their nesting boxes, home, and them. Yeah!!
