Calendars	Note Cards	Cool Stuff

Have you met Edison? He's been Head Rooster for three long years. Each morning before sunrise, he starts his day with his own special ritual. He walks over the top of our house, always traveling north to south. Next, he proceeds to the garage roof, again moving north to south. Having completed his pre-dawn roof stroll, he dismounts, proudly flaps his wings followed by a resounding Head Rooster crow. His day has begun. Time to wake "his girls" sleeping in the hen house. Each evening when the day is done, he walks "his girls" safely back to the hen house before returning to our house to roost on the roof in the same place as the night before.. Next morning he'll repeat his ritual all over again. What kind of stories do times on the farm inspire? read McKenna's Busy Farm Day written by McKenna and Grandma Chickadoo what fun! Add a litttle fluff to your greetings with Great and Small Note Cards, hatched for your writing enjoyment
Where is the missing link? With his carefully maintained hair style ressembling Wilhelminnje's (a Buff Brabanter hen, above) feather-do, this cool dude reminds us just how little difference there is sometimes between humans and the animal kingdom. Below, Hank, a Transylvanian Naked Neck rooster, also models his striking resemblance to the above "fashion statement". Transylvanian Naked Necks, or turkens, naturally have no neck feathers. They also have half the number of body feathers as other chickens, making them well-suited for the sultry Houston summer weather.
