I could be wrong but am pretty sure its a girl.

He was out and about, only because he escaped my grasp, attempts to move him. However, my pens are not weasel proof. They maybe mink proof. If a mouse can get in or out a weasel can.

I should go out, but nothing will be accomplished by that, so I will just have more coffee and head out in a little bit. I have another of Bert Jrs brothers in the ICU awaiting the his car trip to visit the nice Asian family. I could hold one back, but I promised them 5 roosters. Judy thinks I should hold one back. I think that is going back on my word/promise so I won't do that.

They are driving from Brooklyn Canter to get 5 birds, so 5 birds is what they get. I wish I could trade a turkey for one but she already said she was not interested in a turkey. I could give her a Creamer, but then I am down to only one creamer and that could be bad. I have that one with the beautiful pheasant colored wings, but that is for coffee. And I have the EE I wanted to keep for my EE's. Just rambling and thinking as I talk to you guys.


See my dilemma? Become a dishonest liar or short myself my back up rooster.

My point about him being out and about was not meant offensively. What I was trying to say is . . . . . I think I best stop.

I'm snuggled on the armchair with my sleeping hound dog watching football. So lovely. We played fetch up and down the steps for a good while to tire out the dogs and it worked like a charm

No problem, I did not take it offensively. He was a stupid rooster! Had he not ran and hid from me, He would be alive today. I lecture them all the time, some just never listen.

I am amazed how fast he was taken.

I also cannot believe he could hide so well so fast. I looked all around when he first got out. I should have stayed out longer, but I was being a wimp cause I was coooooold..

I could be wrong but am pretty sure its a girl.

Are you talking the white or EE?

I cannot tell on the white looks kinda boyish to me, the EE is a girl no doubt. If you look close she is pulling her vacuum cleaner, no boy would do that...

For the record, this cold can not end soon enough. The warm winter has made me soft!

I am headed to look at/buy the grain wagon in an hour or so. Turns out he is only about 8 miles from my farm. I also purchased a cast iron grain mill on eBay today. Just need to add a pulley and fit it to the motor I already have.

Home building may not be succeeding right now but at least farm stuff is!

Go for it,, good luck.. Show us a picture of the mill!

I just came in from checking on my birds half or better are on the roosts. I only got a few eggs today, I do not blame them.

I have two more Creamette eggs I hope they are still alive...

The PC hens seem to have found there place in the flock. One was sitting snuggled up to a EE. the other was back with a few hens semi-close to her.

Ethel is snuggled in with the chicken hens too. She gave me that look that said, "if you lift me down from here again, I will gorge your eyes out". I left her up there. She just prefers chickens to turkeys as company in the cold..
