Sparkle home, New chicken adventure

Yesterday I took another load of hay to the Farmer Daughter's and picked up Sparkle. Thank you again FD for finding her. She doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects from her misadventures.
She went right to hunting mice in the barn. Good kitty. I know this isn't the barn, it's the deck. So what.
We also let the new chickens out for the first time yesterday. There were no fights so when I get back from the lake we'll do it again. You may recall an earlier post when we sexed the new chicks based on something we found online about their wing feathers. Apparently this does not work with French Black Copper Marans. It is beginning to look like we may have 5 roosters and 1 hen instead of the other way around. Bummer. Now I have to process more chickens and roosters don't have a lot of meat, they are all legs. I processed (Nice word isn't it) one of the FD's tom turkeys yesterday as he was starting to become very aggressive and was attacking her. Free range turkeys look a lot different from store bought ones when their feathers are removed. Can't wait to taste him. Gotta do some chores and go fishing. Bye.
