Lucy successfully hatched out and raised a few chicks that another of the granddaughters has adopted as her own.
Rose though, is most definitely a rooster. I think he is a fine frizzled bantam cochin rooster too. Maybe our granddaughter will re-name him, and hopefully the granddaughters will be able to keep their chickens at their place sometime in the near future where Rose will reign supreme and rule the roost - curls , crows, and all.
In June 2016 we sold Cedar Pond and moved over the mountains and far away. We now live in Deer Park , WA where the weather is a bit more extreme than Cedar Pond's and in spite of the challenges we're rejoicing in life in our new home with field and forest just outside our back door. God is so good to us !

Rose The Rooster
Our granddaughters from the other side of the mountains were here to celebrate the New Year with us, and on New Year's Day they checked on their now-grown chicks. Our oldest granddaughter shown here wearing her New Year's party hat, is holding Rose, her chicken. You might recall this chicken hatched out of his shell in her hand.* (click here to read the story) She was so excited, and immediately named the chick Rose, for she was pretty sure the chick was a hen. Obviously Rose is not a hen, and I have suggested he be re-named , but like a 'Boy Named Sue', I believe Rose is stuck with his name.He will have to deal with it.

Rose the Rooster--HA HA HA! I love it! Maybe she could rename him Roscoe? HA! Have a good weekend, Kathy. :)
Love your post Kathy. Great pics. Have a good weekend.
I love the name....your pictures are so sweet, just love those beautiful granddaughters.
Hope you have a good/warm weekend.
reminds me of "a boy named sue." i loved
the chicken rendition of "in the mood!"
That would be so fun for her to have her special Rose. She looks like a great canidate for poultry 4-H! Isn't Rosemond a man's name?
There are not many roosters that are so huggable. I usually keep my distance from them. I love the pictures of your granddaughters with their chickens. I don't Rose minds his name at all!
Rosie the Rooster! How funny! I guess she could call him Roselle or Roosevelt! As a matter of fact, our UPS guy is named Roosevelt and everybody calls him Rosie!
Come by my blog - it's all about YOU!
Just found your great blog. Love your chickens and I must have some of these sheep from your ETSY shop. So glad I found you. Come visit us at Verde Farm-I would love your suggestions on naming our new chicken coop :)
