I figured I would post pics of one of my newest flock members. I am still thinking on a name... I will have to get pics of the other newbies too...

Love the barring... Super pretty.

• good morning chickeners . . . . I have been off the bed for a few hours and still dragging. At midnight I took two Advil PM's. At 1:30 I took a 3 mg Melatonin, knowing fully what the consequences would be in the a.m. and now I am suffering them. Sleep is important and yet, a drug induced sleep just does not cut it. I will fully wake up about 4 this afternoon. Right now you can call me Eyore.
• Have a good day to each of you.

Why do you call them Cheeseheads anyway?

Well Banty - because Wisconsin grows wonderful cows that give wonderful milk which makes wonderful cheese, AND if you are ever in Wisconsin you want to purchase their cheese which they are famous for - it all leads to the cheeseheads living in Wisconsin. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks. Here is the SOP picture from the Dom club site. He doesn't look like he is too different than the pic? I like that he doesn't have white feathers in the tail... He will probably get some but I think he is stunning right now.

LOL - I wrote yesterday morning and never posted it. I kept deleting it but it looks like you are getting it in response to the cheesehead answer. I slept fine last night and managed to get up and moving early this a.m. Geeze . . . . some of the things that happen . . . .

Are Dom Roos nicer than Barred Rocks?

We make good cheese here too. Do we get recognition for it? Noo... Nobody pays attention to little ol' us.

I'm sure. I have only heard bad things about hatchery BRs though... If you really need another roo I am sure I could get you one
