Fezzik (the gentle giant Ameraucana Rooster, 8 months old) Isn’t he lovely?

Buttercup (the Buff Orpington Hen, 10 months old)

Rosie (the 4 month old Welsummer, dark egg layer)

So, we are back up to 8 hens, and have 2 roosters now. They are all getting along wonderfully! (Oh, well, that’s mostly because we gave cranky Honey to my brother-in-law after she pecked a nasty wound into Sparkle’s (our baby silkie) neck. She just doesn’t like little ones and if we are going to hatch our own chicks in the Spring, we can’t deal with cranky ladies.) The two roosters are just fine with each other. The Ameraucana is definitely the head honcho, even after just one day. The little silkie rooster is so laid back, he doesn’t care. Though our silkie would crow at 7:15 am on the dot every day and that was it. He was very kind to let us sleep in. Fezzik, on the other hand, began crowing at 5:45am this morning and again a little after 6am (what is he thinking???), again at 10:30 and 1pm…. I don’t think he cares about the sun, he just likes to show off his great crow.

They are so much fun to watch!
