One of my favorite chickens is turning out to be a rooster.
 This would not be a problem except for we can't have roosters in city limits so he is going to have to go live on my brothers and sister in love's farm. We got a mix of Light Sussex and Coronation Sussex chickens when they were all just less then a week old, 16 chicks in all. Oreo was one of the most friendliest and always liked to be held and would fall asleep on our lap. When he started getting older we would be out in the chicken yard and we would pick up one of the other chickens and he would jump up on our lap and snuggle down for a lil rest. He still comes running to us when we go outside he acts like a puppy wanting attention.  All of the girls follow him around so if he comes running to us the rest follow. We harvested the roosters a couple of weeks ago but still was not sure if Oreo was a rooster or hen... he just did not mature as fast as the other roosters. He is such a beautiful Coronation Sussex and I really wish we could keep him but he is going to the best place on earth to live on a beautiful farm with some of the other chickens that he grew up with. We gave my brother 5 of the hens we raised from chicks to add to his flock. |

Ralph said we should of named him curve ball because he has fooled us all the way. We named him Oreo because we thought he was going to be one of the black and white birds (Light Sussex). But he ended up being a Coronation Sussex so we actually started calling Oreo double stuffed lol then he turned out to be a he instead of a she lol
Oh well, Taking him out there today. |

Oreo went to live with my brother's chickens over the weekend and we traded him for an older Plymouth Barred Rock that we named Amy. Amy is becoming one of our favorites in this short time because she has been showing our other younger chickens how to scratch and she has given us our very first egg on the ranch *smile*
Meet Amy    It did not take her long to bond with the other chickens, that is another plus for her!! |

Panda, I saw we were neck and neck, so I thought I would post something to make us even in this critical challenge.
 The heat is on... |
