We hatched four eggs last July and got three roos and one hen. They're beautiful birds, and are all getting along fine, but we'd still like to give away two of the roosters to a good home or homes. We are also interesting in obtaining a couple of hens (any breed).
I took some pictures of these youngsters this morning (Nov 11, 2007), including a couple of the roos cruising and snoozing together (and there's a close-up shot of the latter). I also took a shot of a single rooster strutting along and another eyeing the camera .
The hen, Buttercup (aka The Miracle Hen), we're keeping. The story behind the Miracle Hen is long, involving a daring, and likely hungry, hawk; my intrepid and pertinacious 12 year old daughter; an unbelievely strong and lucky chick; and a very astounded, but well-paid vet. Buttercup also cost us king's ransom, so, it's pretty unlikely that she'll ever end up in our soup. I took a picture of Buttercup watching me curiously. She doesn't hang out with the guys as much, but when she does, it fairly clear that she rules the roost...
