Truly the end of an era. We will miss her.

Raise a glass to our fallen hero!

Dad called this morning to let me know Dinner the Wonder Rooster died last night.

He was the 26th chicken in my first order of 25 baby chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery. The “free” chick you get with every order of 25. I have a feeling that’s one way they get rid of a lot of roosters.

At an early age, he discovered his booming voice and we quickly realized he had to move out. My Dad took him to live at his small farm. They quickly became best buddies. Dinner almost lost a foot in an accident with a horse. He was stalked by foxes. Earlier this year, he got his comb ripped in half. He’s lived! Born in June of 2006, he just celebrated his 5th birthday. Not a bad lifespan for a rooster.

Incredibly sweet and saucy, his personality was one of a kind. Today is a day to honor our great friend, Dinner.

Introducing Olivia Grace Bailey

We name all our chickens after people we know (or have at least heard of). This little cutie is named after Olivia Grace Bailey of the Madison, Mississippi Baileys. I think she is a Red Leghorn. We’ll confirm that once she grows up a bit.

Two weeks old and already starting to look like preteens

The new girls are still cute but starting to show signs of new feathers. The next few weeks, they will lose that cuddly cute look and get all gangly.�

I have 21 new chicks! I bought them from Delta Feed & Seed in West Jackson. Man, what a horrible location but what beautiful birds.�
