This tiny rooster thinks he's a mighty protector: and honestly, we believe him
This tiny rooster thinks he's a mighty protector, and honestly, we believe him. There's something both hilarious and heartwarming about a pint-sized feathered friend who struts around like he owns the place, and your heart. I love when our community shares these little cluck-tastic moments of bravery. It's the kind of fowl play that reminds me why I'm both terrified of and obsessed with these birds. If you need another dose of rooster devotion, check out "Roosters have my heart, even when they ruffle my feathers." That story captures the same mix of exasperation and adoration. Because let's be real, sometimes the smallest chicken has the biggest personality, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

A cluck-tastically heartbreaking day as we say goodbye to Lulu and Olive
Today we're mourning Lulu and Olive, two feathered friends taken far too soon by loose dogs in the backyard. Lulu was the last of our OG chickens, a puffy-cheeked sweetheart who loved being held and laid pretty pink eggs with a trumpet-like voice. And Olive? That sassy Barred Rock came to us as a bully and never gave up her top spot in the pecking order. She'd peck you in the backside if you looked away during egg collection, but she was also a fierce protector. She even won Best in Show at our 4H Fair. Our other chickens are battered but safe, thankfully, though we've got a gaping hole in our hearts.
