As for the roosters, thanks for this peek at farm life. Sure is fun to watch, though I'm not sure I'd want them to wake me up every morning at 5 a.m. (or earlier!)Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-59171465021297497652008-07-27T22:50:00.000-04:002008-07-27T22:50:00.000-04:00Little blog fun...I've been tagged so I have passe...Little blog fun...I've been tagged so I have passed it along to you to share 6 random things about yourself, see my blog for more details if you want to participate, don't feel that you have to.

I thought I'd sleep until I heard the roosters, but I ended up going inside the house before the sun came up and the chickens were still quiet.<BR/><BR/>I love seeing your chicken videos! Still shots just don't capture the character of these ladies and gents. And very good idea about the inner tubes. I almost forgot about those!

Yes, come have a jump in the pond!<BR/><BR/>Don, you have as many as I do. It is funny when they start crowing all at once. Then we've really got some noise!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-75017183032815916622008-07-26T10:35:00.000-04:002008-07-26T10:35:00.000-04:00I have six cockerels and five of them are crowing....I have six cockerels and five of them are crowing. One will start and the others will join in. Normally they stretch their necks oout and stand still and crow, but Khan, one of my Cuckoo Marans, likes to walk around while crowing. That looks a little odd!<BR/><BR/>Mine start crowing just about every time I come into the barn. They hear me upstairs and they'll start singing.

We live in city limits therefore we had to give our roosters to someone in the country, but I did keep the hens. I sooo enjoyed them crowing! There is something so earthy about it. Your pond is wonderful. What a great place to play. I want to run off that dock and jump in with the kids. I LOVE your blog!!!Mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229422170203133697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-80525787568378821682008-07-23T23:40:00.000-04:002008-07-23T23:40:00.000-04:00Paula, I think Achilles was pooped after a day of ...Paula, I think Achilles was pooped after a day of foraging! He had to take a break between crows. I heard him announce the mail carrier today as she drove up the driveway to give me a package, so you must be onto something with your theory!<BR/><BR/>Susan, you know, I think the different breeds know they're different from each other.

Was that a man made pond?<BR/>Love your crowing roosters, we only have 1. I am not sure if I was dreaming or not but I thought I heard him crow at 12:30 last night. The earliest I am for sure I heard him was 3:50 the other morning. I am sure the neighbors were impressed with us. ~KimCountry Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391306626662391336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-88358607205999191712008-07-23T14:40:00.000-04:002008-07-23T14:40:00.000-04:00At the risk of repeating what's already been said:...At the risk of repeating what's already been said: *love* the videos!

LOL<BR/>My roosters crow when someone comes up the driveway or you walk up the hill toward the coop... almost like a watchdog would bark when it saw something out of the ordinary or something moving around. I think a lot of the crowing comes from them wanting to establish Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.com
