Well this household is dealing with one less cockerel today. I just got back from Avenue Farm and Feed who agreed to take my last Easter Egger boy and find a new home for him. Whether that home looks like a stew pot or not is none of my business now.

He wasn't agressive, but he wasn't exactly tame since he'd been broody raised and she wouldn't let me near her chicks. DH had been very sweet and patient with him and the incessant crowing coming form the garage underneath our bedroom starting at 5 AM every morning. But when I went outside this morning and saw 4 of my girls with wet and dirty backs - I knew it was time for him to find a new place to live. The girls are enough of a mess with the rain and mud without some boy tussling with them!

Truthfully though - if we lived somewhere I could have roosters and we had enough space that they wouldn't bother the neighbors, I'd love to have a couple for breeding my favorites. Just wasn't meant to be right now.
 
I apologize in advance - this is not a chicken related post. But just in case anyone was interested in getting personalized bottles of wine in the future from Vino Aquino, we've been running a 2 day deal on Amazon and there's less than 5 hours to take advantage of the coupon offer, but it's good for a loooong time. Doesn't need to be used right away.

I get personalized wine for special gifts - these will be going to my fellow cast members and to our director as a gift at the end of the run of our show.

Y'all just have to waite until it is on line, and even then I have no idea if you will be able to pull the article up & read it.
Also great article on feather loss, bugs, parasites, hatching & weird eggs you may find from time to time among other articles.

OMG..

Einstein got 2 little TVs from next door yesterday, and ran in here & stole my wee video cam I used for watching the chickens that we had hooked to the flatscreen but disconnected cuz we could not watch TV if the video cam was on.....so out he went with it all & I was sure Einstein was hooking it all up to motion detectors to record possible intruders, but it is way, way worse than that.
Just when I was afraid I was on some odd ball security TV he had hooked up (and ya better not scratch that itch !) in he comes.
So I drilled him on what he is doing down there in the lab-ora-tory, and he said he is working on infra red sensors that 'break' when something walks through them (like lasers but ya cannot see them) reminds me of the Pink Panther Movies............
So any person, or predator that crosses the line will set off an alarm.............he is now working on the beam compulsion..in other words a mirror box encased so no rain will get on it, that shoots said beam on to another mirror that shoots to yet another...and then back to the box.
If anything breaks the signal beam...we have alarms that will go off.............
