This week has been rooster-centric for some reason. I’ve taken more than a few frame-worth shots of Blaze, Caesar and the P. Allen Smith roolets and wrote an article I have long intended to write on chicken mating. Rooster reproductive anatomy became a shocking subject of conversation at my sister’s house during Easter dinner (don’t ask) and I knew that if my family had such confusion over and questions about chicken sex, lots of others probably did too! If you missed that article, feel free to catch up with it here! Beyond that, the weather has been perfect for anything outdoors and I hope you enjoy some of the photos I shot while taking advantage of it!
Freida, my only Silkie, has been broody and sitting on these eggs since this photo was taken on June 9th- the eggs should hatch on or about Monday!

I am so happy to see someone who is excited about chickens as I am. I'd probably frame the poster and hang it on the coop wall. I have Lupus & Arthritis so I definitely could use the Omega 3 booster in the ladies' food. I already use it.
I'd love to win the Manna Pro Poultry Prize Package! My girls would love it, too!
Thanks for all your advice. Great to go back and re-read. Keep the great advice coming!
I would either put this in my kitchen or on the coop, which will soon be officially known as the Omelet Parlor. :)
I would love to win this vintage chicken sign. This is a great give away. Good luck everyone.
