I’m really in the mood for some cottage cheese and blackberry jam. I’m out of cottage cheese but I have fresh blackberry jam, oh so yum !
Maybe I’ll take Dakota with me to the store, she loves car rides.

These boys are not Branch and they never will be. I have came to the conclusion it was the best thing in the world that he gave me 6 daughters. Branch had such a hold on my heart and no other rooster can ever live up to him. I would have always compared a son of his to him and it just would not have been fair. These boys, I will get to know them. I know me and silkies, I will fall for them and fall hard. I will not compare them unfairly to a irreplaceable rooster who I will miss forever. I did not mean too, but I did that with Drumstick and Bubba. Bubba was a wonderful boy, built better then his father and I am glad I had him. He was not Drummie and it was not his fault. Now that he is gone I realize I did not appreciate him enough for who he was as a individual.

Nope, Pirates of the Caribbean "Dead Mans chest" If we had not already had a cat named Jack he would have been Jack Sparrow. But Rosie looked at his comb and decided it was a giant tentacle growing out of his forehead so Davy Jones it was.

They have been home about 30 minutes. I have them in the coop settling down. I saw them both, and could not decide on which one to take and leave the other.

Rosie already named them. Mr plum wattles is now Davy Jones and his brother is Hector Barbosa. Davy and Barbosa for short. Davy is the braver of the two. When I let them out of the box I spooked Barbosa by moving the box back and he went into the nest box and hid. Davy just stood there looking at me and I massaged his crop. I have yet to meet a rooster who does not enjoy a good crop massage and Davy is no exception. Tomorrow I will spend all day outside. Half my time with my dear George and the other half just sitting in the coop getting to know the boys.
Davy after his crop massage, I think he wanted me to do it again.

You have had many great roosters over the years. Truly there is no substitute for Branch, as there’s no substitute for Sir Jaffar. These special creatures will always live on in our memories. It’s the love from our hearts that lasts.
