I cant stop taking pictures of this guy, hes so handsome! Everyone can blame Faraday for this....she got me hooked.View attachment 1798939

Now you can start posing him... on a fence post, on the tractor, sunset backdrop, etc.

BTW- I've got another handsome little roo I don't know what to do with.
Any takers? Disclaimer: They're not cold hardy for our Chicago winters, so they need supplemental heat when it gets cold. Because they're small, it's easier to just bring them inside as a "house chicken" for a couple months.

We thought we'd have a living alarm clock, but our boy only crows AFTER he hears DD's alarm clock. Sleepy rooster!

That is until Jasper came to visit! Hes up at the crack of dawn!

I'll admit that the rooster duet was not always welcomed. (Jasper had the short frequent crows & Teddy had the volume.) However, Teddy went back to sleeping in about a week after Jasper left. Even this morning Teddy slept in until the 6:40 alarm. When school's out, he'll go out to sleep in the garage for the summer.

5 days together and no incidents. 5 DAYS. I come home from work to find that Jasper and Phoenix attacked the baby ducklings.

Jasp and Phee will be spending their evenings in the cat carrier now.

Oh My!

It looks bad. Believe it or not, but I've seen worse injuries heal completely. Veterycin spray &/or Blu-kote are amazing products. Hope she gets better quickly.

On another sad note: My handyman passed away last night! He's more of a family friend and my kids even call him "Uncle Dave." I'm still in shock. He's my 1st call when I need help. He's the guy who helps me process my chickens (& turkey) - while telling me all kinds of stories about growing up down south. I can't go anywhere in the backyard without seeing something he made for us. Such a wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

I have had that happen too. They healed up fine, but sure looks bad
