Brigham, Parley, and the 10 wives


Completely sacrilegious I know, but these are the names of our 2 roosters and 10 hens. I am not naming the hens because they will eventually be meat that I eat, so I don't want to get attached to them. We picked them up last Friday and have had such a fun time getting to know our newest friends.

Here is Brigham. He is an adorable 16 week old Cochin Rooster. We are anxiously waiting for his crow to come in, but he is just such a sweet fella.


This is Parley. I can not for the life of me remember what breed he is, but I fell in love with him the minute I saw him. He is a little temperamental, but that just adds to his personality. He is struggling a bit with the others hens at the moment. They do not like him, and will peck him when he gets close, but time will work itself out and hopefully they will all get along.


We are so excited to get the farm up and going, and are looking forward to our next addition. I am researching now and trying to decide between fainting goats or sheep. Only time will tell...

Ohhhh...that's a tough call. I love the fainting goats, but I love LOVE little sheep with black faces and legs. They are soooo stinkin' cute!

I remember my cousin Billie June used to enter her sheep in the fair every year in Star Valley. They had a few with black faces if I remember right they are way cute! But Id have to say the goats are much cuter
