Beauty the Rooster and Peckers the Queen hen. Both have interesting stories.We have a very small flock of 8 very old non-laying hens in a wagon on pasture. Beauty and and Peckers were part of that flock, even though they are young. Last Tuesday night, coming home from Levi’s basketball practice, we stopped to check on the chickens and ended up catching and moving Beauty and Peckers to the pullet wagon.
Beauty the rooster came to us last summer. Some friends of ours had a very small urban flock of chickens. They did not know that Beauty was a rooster until the day before they were leaving for an extended vacation and Beauty started crowing. Not good in the city limits. So he ended up here.
Peckers, Levi named her, was also a gift. She was hatched out in a tomato box on top of our walk-in cooler. Her mother got snatched by a hawk or owl when she was 3 weeks old. Levi found her hiding in the asparagus patch.
She slept in the house for a couple of weeks, roosting on my recliner…
