Here is the little chick that I have for sell. Crested Cream Legbar X White Leghorn roo. Will have blue egg gene. Would make fun colored egg layers! He is 5 weeks old and just starting to get a little crest like his dad!

It was pretty crazy! I was so very worried...everyone was telling me that they would be so stressed - I thought that maybe a couple would actually die of shock or stress along the way, but some of them are getting older and I couldn't see leaving them with someone else to suffer in another Phoenix summer of 118. I wanted to take the chance that they'd make it. Should I have been so worried?? NOPE....they continued to lay the whole trip, even! I think the big thing is that they are very bonded to us, and they could see and hear us the whole time so they really weren't too worried about anything. We also did the drive straight through, so they were in the carriers for about 35 hours...no more.

Doing the carrier cleaning, food and water dish change over at rest stops got interesting, though. People thought we had lots (and lots) of small extremely messy dogs......

The only time it got kinda rough was at dawn (on the driver, as we had not planned well and put one of the roosters right behind the driver's head rest (

) and during 'egg song' time for a couple of our louder more complain-y hens....whoa!

This morning I was startled awake by this gosh awful sound. I could have sworn that I had an Elk or Moose in my back yard or something that was maimed. Now, we don't have either where I'm at (except for the person that legally keeps Elk about 20+ miles from me). So, I'm automatically thinking that something is hurt or trying to get to my chickens. I ran snagging my flip-flops on the way only to miss one and having to backtrack for it. Forgot my glasses so I couldn't see when I got to the door but I could still hear that gosh aweful noise. I ran back to get my glasses. Hauled tail back to the door, thinking if there was trouble my 3 Roos would be having a fit like they have in the past. Slung open my back door that faces the coop. I get an eyeful of my 3 1/2 month old roo sitting on the roost in the run crowing his heart out. He'd stop, shake his head (like wait that wasn't it, really), rare back and let go of that gosh aweful sound I was chasing. Oh my, now he has my 3 older roos crowing along with the other 2 young roos. Thankfully we live in the country, but when the wind blows just right my neighbors say they can hear Bruce, my Australorp. I hope the wind doesn't blow just right until after Buster, my 3 1/2 month old Australorp/Silver Cuckoo Maran roo, accomplishes his crow. Where's my coffee?!

He was doing this again this morning. I think all 5 of them are taking turns to see who can wake the entire countryside;) I can hear them now, "Oh wait, my turn now. Wait til you hear this one!" The girls must get tired of it too. Every once in awhile I will hear a crow that is abruptly cut off and sweet silence for all of 1 whole minute. They start at 5:30am and stop around 7 o'clock am. I tried to tell them that we don't have to get up til 6:15 am. I don't think they believe me. Lol.
