Almost big enough for dinner! Because we actually live in a real neighborhood, we can’t keep the roosters that hatched. Craigslist is full of roosters needing a home, so our guys will probably become dinner. I think Cap’n Ron next door will do the deed for us in exchange for one of them. It might be a little sad to think about for some people. They are a really neat looking breed (silver duckwing phoenix) with really long tail-feathers as adult males. And our little black one is turning out to look really fancy. But they are starting to crow on occasion, and we just can’t tick off the neighbors like that!
Both of the white roosters. The black rooster is hiding behind the brown hen.

Still eating all the time. They get cracked corn in the morning and late afternoon. In between they eat pellets (and bugs when they can find them). If you watch in the top of the screen, you can see the duck chase after my dog! Only video on this page.

This little rooster is super cool looking. And he moves A LOT – really hard to get a good picture.

One of the three roosters. Looks delish, huh?

Here’s that black rooster again and one of the hens.

This is the other hen from the brood. Lindsay says this is the one that we called Grayling as a chick. It was our fave, she’s turned out really pretty.
