How do I know? Well, as I was standing in the Chicken house, opening their trap door, two of the chickens tried to crow. What a funny sound the developing male chicken voice makes. Just like any maturing young male!
Polka-dot Boss quickly ran outside and then crowed! Oh, yes, and he has lost ALL his [...]
I ordered all hens, but I am beginning to wonder if I have a least TWO roosters, maybe three!
Which means….Polka-Dot Boss is a rooster, not a hen!

Fuzzy LOVES to play in the ditches, he snaps at bubbles, splashes in the water, and is very happy when he can jump in a catch something.

Farming, as a way of life, is fast disappearing in western Colorado, due to farms being sold to developers/subdivisions.
Therefore, I decided to share with anyone who was interested, what farm life is/was like in my lifetime.
I can honestly say that I now understand what the American Indian felt like as he watched his way of life disappearing!
