Spring-like February

All the snow had melted and I’m not complaining.  Baloo who doesn’t like the cold actually slept outside today after watching the trio of hens escape again.
 


The chickens are happier they can free-range again.  They don’t like to step on snow.
 


Ducks are also very happy due to the warm weather.
 









































My oldest rooster who used to be aggressive to me has been unusually nice to me recently.  He had gone through 2 winters already.  I almost sent him to the butcher shop last September.
 
I have 5 roosters and 60 hens right now.  Used to be 64 hens but 4 drowned in the duck's stock tank (aka pond) this past month and they were my Barred Rocks who were prolific layers. 

And this rooster is my husband’s favourite.
 

And this is my favourite rooster.
 

And of course my hens are the best. When they look me in the eye, it seems like they can sense how I feel.  Only me can relate (haha).
