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!

love all of your giveaways! thanks for all the helpful info.
I was wondering what kind of roo Blaze is? I have one that looks a lot like him. I don't know what he is. I love all your pictures by the way! One of my favorite things to do is go on facebook and look for your posts.
I must say Blaze is quite handsome, my BCM rooster looked just as flashy till something detailed him. At least he still thinks he is king even with out his tail feathers and what ever was after him didn't win that fight.
Love the print. Love Mamma Pro. You have the best contests. Thanks again
Please put me in the drawing. I'd love to win something for my chickens!
