Spartacus
It is hard to believe that this handsome rooster was headed for the pot. After the fair I moved him into Samuel’s chicken coop until we could have ” chicken day”. Spartacus was being a real jerk and injuring the hens in my coop.
Isn't he handsome!
He is a completely different bird in this coop. I guess he was a terrorist rooster turned good. I guess the 14 virgins is the trick. Too busy to be mean. He is very calm and watches over his girls. Things will be better when we are free of two yellow roosters in my coop.
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
No John, He is a big boy. The girls are about 6 weeks younger than him and are Black Stars. That is a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock cross. He is a Partridge Rock.

I may be wrong but is he a banny?? he looks like one,and if he is that would help explain him being a lil testy,bannys are tough chickens!
