About a week ago we acquired a rooster from our friend. We were not planning on getting into the chicken business, but we did. We named the rooster, "Alfonzo." So, since you can have just one lonesome rooster, we decided to get Alfonzo some ladies. Well we got Camilla a game hen and turned her in with Alfonzo. Camilla decided to roost up in the hay loaft and would not come down; so, we had to get her down. Willie, our dog, was very eager to help. I climbed up into the barn loft and Zac set Willie up there with me. The plan was to let Willie help chase her down out of the loft and then we would cover up the access holes. That idea was quickly laid to rest when finally Zac had to climb up there with us and catch her. She wouldn't come down off the roost for me. Later in the week, Zac brought home three bared rock hens. We have been keeping them up in the barn/make shift chicken coup to get them used to us. Today we set them free!! We now have free range chickens. Does this mean we have "organic chickens?" LOL. Below are Alfonzo.
