- Much Ado About Roos!
Well, it's finally happened.After nearly two years,all of the Roos have found the hens. Let me "recap" for you.... Two summers ago, I bought a dozen Ameraucana chicks...a "straight run" as they call it....unsexed.Well, the odds were not in my favor...

There was quite a stir in the barnyard yesterday. Rod was all a flutter. You see, he's had his hands full lately,(I know, chickens don't really have hands, do they?)with Number 6's daily visits to the henhouse. When the two boys' paths...

The rains came and went,
and the sun came out again...
Blue skies and temperatures in the high seventies,
with cool nights...a hint of autumn is in the air.j
The horses love their afternoons on pasture...
but readily come running when I enter the dry lot clapping my hands for them.
A little hay and a peppermint treat awaits them...
in a matter of seconds the Bigs are all back into the dry lot.
The Littles, however, are much more coy,
and take a bit of coaxing to get them in.
Shaking a bag of Quaker Oatmeal cereal squares helps,
but they generally take their good ole time!
On another subject....
I have spent so much of the time these past couple of weeks talking about
Roosters Number 5 and 6.
Today I want to show you Rooster Number 1.
who spends his days with his fellow Roos...
lately hanging around the outside of the "youngins'" house
leering like lecherous old men
just waiting for the "youngins" to mature.
PS....
The rainy weekend gave me a chance to sew another
1940's style apron.
You can see it HERE!
