Cornelius the Magnificent

“If you don’t hear the crows of the roosters in the mornings, you are one cursed city fellow!” 
Mehmet Murat ildan

A very quick post to let you know that the most magnificent Cornelius has joined our flock.  He is the lord of roosters I'm sure you will agree (and he has a most polite morning crow).

The weather continues to challenge with massive winds and more rain - everything is intact and we sure enjoy being snug inside even if the garden is suffering a bit.

We had about 30 people around for scones on Saturday and some stayed for an evening meal - all in order to properly warm the house.  Consider "Charis" warm!

What beautiful plumage...

  1. He's gorgeous! Excuse my city girlness but why do people have roosters? Do you want baby chickens?

  2. Maybe three reasons:
    1. Yes we may want some chickens down the line
    2. He looks after the girls (warning them about predators - he's pretty good at it too!)
    3. He's damn fine to look at
