This morning my DH came running in to tell me that one of my 2 BO chickens-who turned 5 months today- was making a funny noise..sounded like my rooster Russell was chocking..
out I ran in my nightgown thinking I would be doing mouth to mouth

when I saw it...my little roo roo was crowing!! His first crow

! Mind you it did sound like he was chocking on something and it was not very manly sounding..and I think he scared himself more than anything..but he CROWED!! Oh he is growing up!! He is one of the 17 chicks that I rescued from the trash this past feb...I kept 2 BO one pullet and one roo..he is the sweetest little roo..loves to be held and will jump on my lap when I am sitting outside!! I just hope he won't get all tough guy on me!

aaawww ... how cute. I was all excited the first time I heard one of the youngens do a real "cluck" "cluck". *sigh* We are the only ones who truly understand.

As far as the nightgown thing - I do that all the time! I get up really early and on beautiful mornings, take my coffee and go outside. It is so peaceful - the birds are singing, the sun is coming up through the trees, the horses are grazing ...

then, I see some hay to pitch out to them. Then I need to feed grain to everybody, and everybody gets different types. But I have to move them to divide them up into certain paddocks so they can get the right grain.

Then the dogs need to go out.

Then something else happens ... before I know it, it's 7:30 and I am out there in my nightgown, and my neighbors pass by on their way to work or taking their kids to school.

Oh geez ... "Hi" I wave ... in my night shirt! There WAS a day when that would have been a bit sexy ...
