You may have heard what paleontologists found when they ran DNA tests on the skeletal remains of T. Rex. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's DNA was most closely related tothat of the chicken! And if you have had the opportunity to own a rooster,you...

This Contest is For the Birds!
Well, I thought it might be time for a
Bee Haven Acres Blog Contest.
You might remember that I bought 12 new chicks on April 10th
at our feed store.
These were the Ameracauna chickens who will eventually
lay green eggs.
I bought a straight run (sounds like a card game)....
that means they were un-sexed.
Meaning....I have no idea how many are hens
and how many are ROOSTERS!!!
Oh Lawd, I hope there are no ROOSTERS!!!
But, alas, I know there are.
"How?" you ask.
Because each morning I hear crowing
coming from inside the henhouse....
and
not
just
one
voice...
no, a few different voices.
Land sakes, we got ROOSTERS!!!!
Ok, so the contest is this.
Please leave me a comment as to how many roosters
you think I might have out of 12 chickens.
The winner will be determined as soon as
the birds are old enough to tell for sure.
(which should be soon)
I think that this guy may be a ROOSTER...
See his/her lovely cheek muffs?
Ok, so leave me a comment stating the total amount of
ROOSTERS
I have.
The winner will receive a "goody" box from Bee Haven Acres.
OH GOODY!!!!!
(perhaps a box full of roosters.....just kidding!)
If there is more than one correct guess,
I will have a very creative drawing.
Ok.....so guess, now....will ya!
