One Big Barn, One Missing Kitty

Today was the kittens first day out. They stood at the back door, and gazed at this whole big new world ahead of them. They watched in awe, as the chickens ran freely around the yard. They were to afraid to leave the stoop.

George the 2nd

It is official. We have decided to name our new Aruacana rooster George. He is so beautiful. His tail plumage is a shiny deep turquoise green to almost black. His upper body is a beautiful golden red. He is somewhat shy compared to Stallin, and that is fine by us. Stallin is a little to aggressive.
George loves his ladies, and we planning to start a “love nest” for him a a couple of his lady friends over the next weekend or two. We first have to build a bigger pen for all the rest of the birds.
