Our newest addition to the farm

We  have added to our farm this past weekend and I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see him right away, but let’s give it a try. Here is the picture that I took of our new roosterIMG_3161

Now you know by now that I like to name stuff on our farm and at first I was going to call him Stella Well that was until I realized that he was a boy and not a girl. Now even though he could be called Stella, I decided to call him Samson. And do you know why? Well, Samson has been known for his supernatural strength and his long hair. Well I’m thinking this rooster could kick anyones tail and even though he doesn’t have hair, his feathers are pretty stinking long. Yup, Samson is his name! Samson is in charge of guarding the Roadhouse and cow yard.

Now how did I come across Samson? You see it’s my Mother’s day gift that has been ordered over a month ago. So when I got the call that the rooster was in, we had ordered two sizes with the agreement that we’d take one of them. We just weren’t sure which size would look the best so I beat it over to the store after work and you know when you’re looking at something and just not sure what you should do? Yea, that’s where I was at with my roosters. I finally just guessed and took the smaller of the two. About half way home I thought that I should have taken the larger one. But since it was in the truck I thought let’s just see how it looks. Well once I got it set up and I made Kyle come out and help me look at it to see if I got the right one or not, I decided that I should have taken the larger one. Yea, I should have listened to my instincts from the beginning! So back into the truck he went and back to town I went to get the larger one. And once I got the larger one home I decided that this one was perfect. You know the old saying is right – ‘Go big or go home’ !
