More beauties Tom! Thumbs up

I used to have chickens, but a bobcat broke into the chicken coop and killed them all. It was weird, the bobcat stacked all the dead chickens on top of each other in a neat pile like a butcher would do. Anyway, I believe it when you say your chickens will attack. A neighbor down the road found a rooster and brought it to me. Well that was one mean rooster! Everyday I would let the chickens out of the coop to roam free and that rooster would head straight towards me and attack me. Grumbling One day I was watering the yard and I heard a "tick-tick-tick" coming from behind me. So I turned my head and here was the crazy rooster coming after me. I dropped the hose and ran... *Blush*

That was your mistake, you should have sprayed him good with the water. He would have thought twice about chasing you then. lol I have three sweet roosters. (Mature ones) Lost my GP3 this spring. He was a 3rd generation white wyndotte cross, GP3 stood for Grandpa the 3rd. I'm sure there will be a bunch of them among the 22 that I hatched this spring. Some good chicken soup this fall I'm thinking!

Yup, I found it on their facebook page. Nice burgandy standards, nearly black falls, and a gold beard. I have just the place for it.

Sherry,
Check Argyle Acres now that they are getting reestablished in their new location. The varieties on the historic list are increasing. For "beginners" into historic ones they offer a 12 for $45 pack of their selection.
