We spent the first part of Thanksgiving Day raking and doing a little yard clean-up. The weather was el primo, high 70's, sunny, light breeze! Shorts and t-shirt kind of stuff! David and I being from the north, we completely appreciate the gift of having this kind of day! Since it was going to get cooler and damp today (Friday), we decided to put off the turkey until today. I thought it was appropriate to post these pictures of these lovely roosters that we are "thankful" that they will be "giving" their life to be in our freezer soon! They deserve the spotlight for a moment! We have given them a "poultry perfect" life and they will only have one really bad day! Just an FYI for anyone interested, these Sliver Laced Wyandotte cockerel's(5 mos old now), about 14 of them, have been co-existing with only minor bickering. They seem to have quite a mellow attitude and very non-aggressive. When they are not free-ranging, they are in the main coop with everyone else, about 50 in all, and they do well, keeping to themselves, not causing any problems. We have been very happy with their nice personalities. (And I'm sure they are yummy too!) By the way, the second half of our day was spent, CAN YOU GUESS?....you got it! Watching football! I remember when it used to be two games, now it's three! Clicking to "Punkin Chunkin" during the commercials! Whenever and whoever, turned this into a "Man Holiday"! I did manage to make chicken parm, which came out great, if I must say so myself!
