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!

Blaze (Black Copper Marans rooster)

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!

Happy 4th!! I forgot to mention! One of our hens went broody, so we got some eggs and stuck them under. Fingers crossed! Thanks again for all the great posts and updates!

I would love to show this vintage-looking poster and to have a bag of Omega Egg Maker, thanks for this opportunity.

I'd put it in my kitchen. It's sorely lacking chicken stuff.
