Rural Life

Dominick was this rooster’s breed and his name.  Most people think he was a barred rock rooster but he wasn’t, they have a very different comb, it is more flat and bumpy, not erect like most breeds.  He was a beautiful bird and one of the few pure breed chickens we’ve had on our farm.

The chickens absolutely hate the snow, especially deep snow.  Here these roosters and hen are huddles together on a fan shaped wisteria arbor trying their best to escape the depths of the snow.  What a comical scene to watch the chickens in the snow.
