Our main rooster, Lucky
So, this last spring we invested in some chickens. Mostly so we could have egg laying hens in order to sell eggs, though the plans have grown from there. We will be raising poultry hens also.
Anyway, Lucky is a special guy, Lucky has a destiny. He was meant to be in charge.
You see, he was only one of a dozen chicks we bought last spring. He shared his little cage with his brothers and sisters for about a month when the local rogue band of raccoons broke into the cage and ate all of his brothers and sisters. The only surviving chick was Lucky. At the time we had no idea if he was male or female. But he was a rooster, and since we bought six pullets to replace the lost chicks he now has a flock of his very own. He’s a very ‘lucky chicken’ indeed.
And he is very wary, and watchful, and concerned – like a good rooster should be.
So, for all of you locals out there that would like fresh eggs, and in the near future fresh chicken, keep Lucky and me in mind. Occasionally I even deliver!
