here’s a pic of Yeller.. my newest rooster.. he’s a buff orpington.. Rosie is also a buff, bought her at the same time as him.. she’s laying eggs and didnt find her nest until today.. she’s laying by the chicken yard fence.. some of the eggs were broke, but managed to save 4 of them and tested them and they are all still good.  

now to tell u something very strange, and u’ll think me a liar, but i swear on my life and God’s Bible that i am NOT making this up.. i saw it myself and if i hadn’t i’d think i was a liar !!! okay, enuff intrigue, here is what happened:.. i was up at my BIL’s to get the jeep to go to town and buy some supplies, when Yeller starts chasing after Spider.. u remember her.. the white duck my sister swore was a ‘male’.. but has been laying an egg a day for the last 3 weeks.. snicker.. anyway.. Yeller jumps on her and starts hosing her good!.. well at least he was trying to hose her!.. he tried twice before he gave up, and i was in such shock, all i could do was watch him!  when he couldnt pop her cork, he decided to try and jump on the little ducks Daisie and Dora!!!!.. i got in the jeep and chased him so they could get away from him.. am still in shock and it happened yesterday (22 Aug)!!!  Pore Yeller, the hens won’t give him any, so i guess he figured the ducks were fair game!!! LOL.. I just wish i’d had my camera with me when he done it so i could prove i aint lyin about it.. i’ve never heard of a chicken tryin to screw anything other than another chicken, so this was a first for me!

On a sad note, Lucy the turkey finally died.  One leg was nearly rotted off, she could only flop around in one spot for the last month.. she had locked herself in a corner of the chicken house and i fed her thru the ‘crack’ in the walls.  Buried her in the corner behind my trailer, so she’s happy now and running around like a young bird again.

that’s all the news that’s fit to print.  see ya next time! God Bless ya and urs.
