TTR
|
This is my latest addition to our happy family. TTR (Tony The Rooster), a beautiful little bantam for sure. I've never had a rooster. Originally we had 5 hens as a laying flock. They were sooo sweet, we brought them home at one day old and they lived in our kitchen in a cardboard box. Even the cats loved them! They outgrew their box and needed a new home, so John emptied the old smoke house, patched the holes and spread cedar chips on the floor. He and his friend Carl built an enclosed chicken run on the southern, sunny side, and the chickens moved in.
By the end of summer, the coyotes had discovered the smorgasbord and... a weakness in the fence!
Sweetie was our soul survivor. She is the biggest black chicken. But she was lonely! A friend of ours had an extra rooster she was trying to find a home for. Then another friend had four hens that needed a new home as well. Suddenly we had a full hen house again! They spent the winter getting to know each other and recuperating. Now here they are healthy and ready for another spring! I wonder who will be our first to set??
