Ralphie!  Here is your Delaware rooster!  You did say you wanted one, right?  I know you want Doms, but I thought you were considering crossing some Delaware into your meat program?

@MN Chicken

No, he was spared and I'm not sure he'll ever
meet his maker. I have a soft spot for him.

Is your Delaware obnoxious?

Oh yay! I want to see grumpy grown. The Delaware is right up there with mini max. He is respectful and sweet, runs up to me every time I come out. He doesn't like to be pet, but occasionally sits in my lap. He is so good to the girls. He doesn't crow yet. So...he is obnoxiously sweet I'd say. Just like the other boys you got from me.

The goats are doing well. Shy. Of I sit and don't look at them, George will sniff me. Irene will have nothing to do with me. She wiggles her way into the coop to get at the chicken feed. We have made the pop door smaller 3 times now. I think we did it. The barred rocks can barely get in. We fortified all fence with cattle panels, we call it Fort Knox. No one has been lost to the wolf in days....so I'm hopeful. This weekend is the end of the road for the 3 roosters, since one went after my Chihuahua. I helped butcher for the first time earlier this summer and it was a very solemn experience. Kinda made me feel like I grew up in a rather serious way. So I'm not afraid to butcher this weekend but I'm not looking forward to it either. It's just serious. I tend to want to keep the goats comfortable and healthy because I know their likely eventuality, and besides being cute litle guys their purpose is serious business so I better do my best. Does that make sense or am I being overly dramatic?

Not at all. I have a hard time as well. On Sunday I had to drink a shot before the first one.
In German it's called " drinking your courage"
 
I'd be glad to take him.

Not all of them were about AI, I know my daughter's display board on Buckeye Chickens was sent up too ;)  But that Snickers sounds like a good way to make your day better. LOL

I remember your daughter's exhibit! A while back I listened to a podcast about Buckeyes, learned they are the only American breed developed by a woman. Very cool.
