Knowing I have only hens, no roos, "Do your chickens crow every morning and wake you up?"

My husband, upon meeting our new non-bearded White Silkie Roo who will be dad to our showgirl project:

I picked up 2 new cockerels and a sweet little EE x bantam cochin hen yesterday, my nosy neighbor... had to poke in my business again...

her: you have too many roosters
me: no, I have the perfect number of roosters. I don't have enough hens.
her:

Absolutely!! (I just *knew* I had a great mind

BTW: In what part of the state is Middleburgh? Many, many moons ago, my dad was based at Griffiss AFB in Rome. He's the lucky dog who got to convert it into a SAC base. We were there for about 18 mos.

I love the name of your home "Almosta Farm". hahahaha. Mine is called Sweet Asylum, where I, too, live alone with my animals.

7 Biddies, Middleburgh is 87 miles southeast of Rome, little over an hour away. I'm 30 miles southwest of Albany if you go over the mountain, 45 miles if you go around it...

when i bought my house a dozen years ago, the property was named "Brooky", which was dumb, cuz there's no brook... or stream... but there are several pure and 100% potable underground springs. Lucky for me, the people across the street have sulfur water, and the people down the hill have contaminated water from seepage from a dirty deer poop pond... so... my friends renamed it Blueberry Ranch bc my pets all have the last name of
"de Blueberry", but I don't have Blueberries growing here either... so it didn't make sense.

I came up with Almosta farm when we had flooding issues and I signed up to take cattle from the valley in need of placement during times of high water...

Ok, I have one. My mom comes over often, and knew I was trying to hatch trader joe eggs, thought I was nuts and of course disapproved, LOL

Please understand that she grew up in a rural community that she left at the age of 21 to live in Chicago. How she could be such a "city ninny" I'll never understand! Really isn't fond of any animals, though she tolerated a cat and a dog while we were kids. (cats and dogs LOVE her to her chagrin, lol)

One day, hatching day, she comes over and is floored that they hatched! She said "I will never eat another trader joe egg again knowing THAT is in them' LOL

And this is from a woman who spent the first 21 years of her life in the country!

Can't wait to offer her up some eggs!

My dad moved from a farm in Iowa to a small town in NH where his father was a minister and his mother never lost her Quaker farming roots. He wanted to get as far away from his "humble country origins" as possible and would've thought I was out of my mind, had he lived to see me now. But, times change; what was once the "glamorous city" is now a crime infested drug haven filled with traffic and pollution. What once seem "unsophistocated and plebian", now is considered a simpler way of life most can only dream of.

It took a few generations, but it seems the "glitter of the wicked city" has tarnished, and people are beginning to appreciate the simpler/honest things in life.
