Tarzan and the girls


Tarzan The Rooster

Hi everyone, thanks again for reading our blog. It's very exciting to see how many of you are reading our blog and where you are from. It's been a few days since I have posted we have had a fairly busy week. It all started Wednesday morning, michelle noticed that our water pressure was dropping when she watered the chickens. Not long after that the water just stopped, the well had just stopped. Of course I assumed the worst thinking that the pump had gone out. The next day a friend from church came out to take a look at it and found the problem, the pressure switch had worn out. We quickly replaced it and we where back in business. We where so blessed that our friend could fix it for us, it is so good to have a church family to help each other out.

When we ordered our chicks from the hatchery they gave us a free "exotic" and that's about all we know about this guy. He has multiple Colored feathers, but the strangest feature about this young rooster are his green feet, yes I said green. He is a funny looking devil, but he is a good rooster, and a pretty one to boot. If any of you have ever raised young roosters you know this curious calls they use as they are learning how to crow. They sound something like Peter Brady when would sing with his voice changing. They don't start off with the usual cock-a-doodle-doo , it's usually a one or two note crow mor like er-r-r. But ole green foot has a certain signature crow that sounds a little like Tarzan swinging through the trees, so I decided to name him Tarzan

Saturday evening we decided to go to our neighbors u-pick blueberry patch and pick some berries. We had fun just picking berries and talking, it sure makes the picking easier when you have someone in the patch to talk to.
