The Roosters Hold the Yard

The farm's cameras captured more than nineteen thousand frames today, and the S7 camera had the clearest pictures of the flock.

Early on, a deep mahogany-red rooster stood out against the background, and a heavily streaked black and white hen came close to the lens. Through the middle of the day the mahogany rooster kept appearing in natural daylight, his red comb and wattles bright, and at one point he looked straight at the camera.

The afternoon held the day's highlights. Three pictures were kept: the mahogany rooster looking directly at the lens, a black and dark-streaked hen facing the camera, and a large dark-plumaged rooster with a prominent red comb, also looking into the lens. Late in the day another dark-feathered rooster stood out in good light.

The flock records were also updated. Horstabird is now listed as a rooster, and Henriello and Henridot are now recorded as roosters too. Birddor is marked as deceased. The old rooster Little Big Red Junior is noted as having been gone since about April, with no exact date on record.
