Shearing and Shuffling

Another momentous event from November was the shearing of Rex. That guy has been growing out his hair since third grade (when he steadfastly refused to get that "before first day of school hair cut"). Here's that hair in the middle of seventh grade.

Well, he finally decided to get some of those split ends removed. He decided that (Amazing) Grace was the woman to do it. (Grace really works some magic on my hair. She is the best colorist ever!)

Of course we had to document the entire event.

 

Head on before and after:

Also, as we were downsizing our flocks of poultry, Michael talked our neighbors into retrieving the five rogue chickens sired by our rooster, Captain Fluffball, and their slutty hen, Crazy Chicken. Our neighbor suggested just taking the two hens and putting the roosters on Craig's List. I think that is exactly what happened. Here are the photos of the wild chickens as they departed Rancho Wilhelm.

Kasey with our "mohawk" cockrel. He was kind of the leader of the flock. You can tell he's a scrapper!

Here's Daniel with "Chipmunk". She is gorgeous with the polish "hat" of feathers. Also very wiley!

Madelyn show off one of the boys. That's a strapping young cockrel right there. (EDIT: Actually, that's a strapping young hen right there!! She's kind of stocky and not so feminine as her puffball headed sister, Chipmunk).

 

 

Phil has a way with that rooster.

Valerie holds the really good looking guy. Really, I could just look at this rooster all day. But not listen to him!
