Name: Sarge Age: 1 yr Breed: Welsummer How'd you wound up with this chicken: I found him on craigslist and sure happy I did!

Thank goodness you caught the bandit before he made off with all the eggs!! Have you tried to make a cheapy homemade bator? Thats what we did and I am amazed at how well it works.

So today we clipped wings and allowed our turkeys out in the yard with our chickens. They all know each other due to the turkeys pen is also the enclosed run area for the chickens thru the winter/bad weather. As soon as they got to be free, the one turkey hen ran to our rooster and kept nudging...

Since he was our only rooster, I quickly got another one (welsummer this time) and found a home for him where he is loved and carried around like a baby. But I wonder...

So darling!
