I may keep one, and let go my number 2 roo. He and the other youngsters have more white than I like, but there are so few to choose from...

The boy on the far left has some nicely lined-up speckles:

Tried to get some pictures this afternoon, not a lot of cooperation!

The pullets (4.5 months old)

Joanna, Esther (yellow shanks), and Priscilla. That's Silas on the left.

Another one of Silas:

Very handsome, but his feathers are too orangey.

Martha looks like a molt in progress:

Rahab, the chatty one:

Hannah (on the right)

Naomi (rear) and Tamar (front):

Abigail is looking so much better, but acted camera shy.

No good photo of Zacchaeus...

Is Martha having words about a lack of help while busied and distracted with much molting?

So, after the plumber left I decided to just stay home the rest of the day. I wanted to donate to the flood relief so I cleaned out two closets.

Not bragging, just trying to help. I was told by someone from the area that the people have nothing except the clothes on their backs. This stuff is in good condition, and they are welcome to it.

This will be appreciated. Get it to a church, firehouse or community center, they will have connections to get your donations to the correct places and people.

The outpouring of love and help, volunteers, donations, etc. from all over the country is just so overwhelming.

Thank you.

I will never look at a storm the same way again, I can tell you that.

One of our church members is driving up to Boone once a week, bringing donations on his flatbed trailer. He's from the area, so is making sure they get to people who need assistance.

It's a 4 1/2 hour drive, God bless him!

I LOVE the names!

Thank you!

My first roosters were Joel and Samuel, named after prophets.

Zacchaeus was a wee little chick, and it seemed like an apt name.

I have a rooster named Luke, but it’s Star Wars inspired.

It was chilly overnight, low about 40° F. When I checked on the flock after dark most had managed to get on the main roost. The Dominiques were on the A-frame but one hopped over to the main roost in the light from my headlamp.

Usually about 7 roost there. They knew it was going to be chilly.

And Naomi is looking bare... it's not the best time to molt, young lady!
