Her last litter has been great for everyone that got one. They keep telling me how smart they are..and cute of course.

Ok, here goes, Lisa told me how to post a picture, so we will try it out. It should show my new rooster RC (Rooster Cogburn) in his acclimation pen in front of his new hen house. It is 10' x 14' and is to be used just for roosting and egg laying. RC will be king of this domain and all he can see. We might move everyone over here by the end of the month. Trim painting and roosts and a few things such as that are all that is left for the most part. And I want to paint the gable section of the west/east ends a dirty pink to match the house. Our pebble dash is that color, and the house is white as well. RC had a nice day meeting his new ladies eating crickets, cutup worms and some grass along with his own private feeder and waterer. I've had him one day now and this free chicken has only cost me $190.00 and change. A steal by me. He will have about 4 acres to roam on in my inner block lot. The sun is just setting and evening is creeping in with those lovely long shadows. A perfect day to hang with the birds and watch the interaction with the other members of the flock. I hope he will like his time here, we have just loved looking at his hackle feathers when he flares them out, and that two feather tail flip is just cool. I am very glad he did not end up in a stew pot in West Valley! I've a lot of work for this guy and his gals. Thank you pfrosty and the Utah thread for making this happen, and everyone is sooooo nice as well. Good job out there guys. RJ

HE is MAGNIFICENT!!!

I have two right now im watching. One im pretty sure is a roo, and the other im not really sure lol. Im starting to doubt if im meant to have a splash haha. [/COLOR]

Hugs to you, friend. It will happen

Can I just say that I love that someone has a rooster named Cogburn, now?

RedIII,

Yes you can! The dear wife named him, she thought he had that John Wayne look about him. RC is a wonderful addition to our flock, and we really like him. Who knows, he might go on to be famous… That boy has a crow to match his namesake as well.

Well Pilgrim, I've to get out and chore about the place, thanks.

Ok. So my momma hen decided it is time to kick the chicks out of the nest. She now treats the chicks like all my other chickens. So, naturally, the flock isn't acrid to push the chicks around now that momma won't protect them. The chicks are bout 7 weeks oldibelieve... Is this normal?!

Is it too late for me to change my mind, can I have him back?

I'm glad you like him and even more so that he found a great home. I am also glad he didn't end up in a stew pot. Awesome picture!

pfrosty,

Glad you saw the photo of your roo and his new digs. I think in time he may take a liking to us. In the mornings I go out early and find a way to catch him and hold him on my lap for a few minutes. I hand feed him some of the crickets we bought for him and stroke his neck and back, I hope he takes a liking to us, we certainly enjoy him and his crow.



We've not seen any 'angry birds' in the short time we have had him. Everyone seems to want to check everyone else out, but it seems that so far, so good. I'll try over time to keep current photographs of Rooster Cogburn up here for your boys to see. It is important that they see and understand how the world works, and it does not have to be bad.

He was loved and well cared for at your place, we will hopefully be able to do the same. As the main attraction at our place, he could very well live out his natural life here at our place. That would be fine with us, and why we named him RC and not Stew.

Kind thanks to you and your family for sharing RC with us!

I have a large wood shed/shipping crate that I was going to convert into a chicken coop but its going to be alot more work then I thought, and I dont see it getting done. So I am just going to sell it and get something else. If anyone here would like to buy it, let me know. I paid 150, but i'd take around 120? for it. It's 5x7x7ft and im sure it is decently heavy. Would probably need something like a fork lift and flat bed trailer to move it, or several big strong guys, im not sure lol.
