Roosters

We lucked out and missed the worst of the storms last night. I kept an eye to the sky the entire day in case we needed to move horses around. But it ended up being a fairly nice day and didn't get too humid and hot like they'd predicted. Today on the other hand will be a different story (after the rains come through).


We are supposed to have rain off and on all week. It's going to make getting some of our projects done more difficult but I have a feeling that this week, most of the outside projects weren't going to get done anyway. Glass half empty today I guess.


The big herd spends a good portion of their day up in the lean to out of the sun and in the breeze. It's turned the leanto that we just cleaned into a mess again. I can't keep up with cleaning it out every day what with this new schedule that we've been doing since mid March. Hopefully I can get out there and get it cleaned out this weekend but it's just one more thing on the to do list.


We did acquire three roosters yesterday. Someone could no longer keep them and wanted to find a home for them. We've been missing our rooster we had 10 years ago so said yes. I don't know anything about chickens or roosters so this should be interesting. These three are a different breed than the one we had years ago but it'll be interesting to figure out their personalities. And for anyone who doesn't think roosters have personalities, they are wrong. Our old rooster would wander up to the house and crow at us if he didn't hear us up and moving around by 10am (gone are the days of sleeping in!)


We'll introduce you to them when we figure out who is who and what they are like. Right now they are tucked in the barn (because we have no chicken coop) and seem to be settling in. Now the difficult part will be to keep Penny from chasing them all over the place.
