I think I’ve got two pretty handsome looking men here, what do you think? Super G. is the best, he has always taken care of my flock for me when the weather gets nasty. Last weekend he brought one of the roos up to the house so I could check him out.

You know you’ve got a good one
when your hubby tromps out to the chicken coop
in a snow squall to stomp out an area

Well, it was almost wordless
Last week Super Genius and I spent a day readying our little flock for winter. We used the tractor to pull the old coop out of the mud pit it was sinking into.

It’s been awhile since you’ve seen any chicken photos so here’s one of our Roo. Remember when we bought him from Craigslist a few months ago? he was just a little guy then and barely had any tail feathers. Just look at how big he’s gotten!

They are funny creatures, they lay eggs, they cluck, what’s not to love? {okay, they do occasionally get into things they shouldn’t, don’t let it deter . . . → Read More: Have you ever been to a chicken yard sale?

After Mr. Puff died from old age I told myself that it would be a long long time before I felt ready to have another rooster in the coop.

I just thought I’d share a few minutes of chicken owning goodness with you today.

In our backyard we have many things.
Speckled fluffy silly things
clucking cooing, a bit too curious
plump and useless wings
Things that offer beauty joy and softness

Four of these shots show chickens where they do not belong.
Only one is where it should be.
