We've been a backyard chicken family for about six months. My daughters adore their chickens. A lot. They talk about chickens. They hold their chickens. They draw chickens. They tell stories about their chickens. These are some beloved chickens. But, sadly, our Sonja Rojo (yes, this chicken has a first and last name) the Rhode Island Red is a rooster. And we live in town. Sonja needs a new home where roosters are not prohibited by city regulations. Sonja is a gorgeous bird- a nice dark rust brown with glossy green and a lovely green tail. He is now six months old and still very friendly and gets held daily. We would like to give him to someone who is looking for a show bird (again, he is lovely and very friendly) or a breeder. As he is a pet, we would prefer to give him to someone who will care for him and not put him in a pot.  We live in the OKC metro area. Anyone interested in adopting Sonja Rojo?

I think you are singing Ksane's Siren song!!!!!!  

lol! I'm overrun with male babies and trying get ready for my Cornish. I have to keep reminding myself, "Step away from the roosters....."

Congrats! I'll never forget my 1st eggs. My 4 Cochin girls laid their 1st eggs all on the same day. It's like they're growing up, isn't it?

46 years ago today, Roger left for the Philippines for his first of 5 tours of duty for the Navy in Viet Nam. When they flew into Viet Nam on Thanksgiving day, they landed under fire. So thankful Roger made it home in one piece.

Today, we began moving the herds back home. Just unloaded the first 16 cows and 8 spring calves from our 160 in Prague.

It is a beautiful day outside although a little windy. Chickens are enjoying the dryer ground in their pens and are out free-ranging around the house and barns.

Congrats to Jeansrie on your first egg layer.

That's just amazing. 46 yrs ago-wow. How sad to go in on Thanksgiving under those circumstances. And when I think back and realize those guys were 18-20 yrs old....so young!

I know you all understand what I mean when I say that chickens are like potato chips. You cant just have one. So I ran into a youtube video that explains this in a different way. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! It helped me understand my new chicken sickness.

I am glad that this came out again....just as funny! Hey, @KSANE... now knowing you better, and watching this again...I am thinking that you and the onegirlsrant must be long lost twin cousins or something!
