Hardest part of ranch life

Yesterday marked one of the hardest days in our ranching journey as we faced the heart-wrenching decision to cull every single one of our beloved chickens, ducks, and geese due to an outbreak of Mycoplasma gallisepticum. After months of battling this relentless illness, we finally received a true diagnosis, but it came far too late. The loss of our feathered friends, whom we’ve cared for and nurtured over the past 3.5 years, feels like a heavy weight on our hearts. Each bird represented not just a part of our farm, but a piece of our lives and dreams. Rest in peace, my angels. Your memories will forever flutter in our hearts, and we hope to meet again someday in a happier place.

I got a free chicken

I recently welcomed a delightful addition to my flock—a Buff Orpington rooster! Rescued from a fate of becoming dinner, this charming fellow caught my eye when the previous owners decided they didn’t want him. After some suspenseful moments of him hiding his true identity, he finally revealed himself as a rooster, and I couldn't resist the chance to take him home. He’s perfect for breeding with my Buff Orpington hens, saving me from future poultry purchases. As he’s currently in his goofy phase, I’m on the hunt for a name that strikes a regal, medieval tone while playfully suggesting he’s as wise as a chicken can be. Any feathered friends enthusiasts out there with name suggestions?
