It Is Official, Our Farm Name...

Drumroll please...our farm name is going to be Buttercup Farm!  Thanks to all our friends and family for voting on Facebook.  Red Rooster Farm is a fine name, but Buttercup Farm won out.  Below are pictures of our beautiful buttercup roosters and hens!  The pictures don't really do them justice.  Their coat shines in the sunlight and reflects a myriad of beautiful colors.  It was so much fun trying to get a picture of these beauties because we don't have the greatest camera yet, and they wouldn't stand still.  I don't think they understood that we were just trying to take their picture.  We are really excited about what the future holds.  Our goal is to have 1,000 chickens in the yext year.  We will raise free range, organic-fed chickens for butchering as well as egg layers.  We are currently getting 14 eggs a day!  It will be exciting to see the business grow.  The eggs are so delicious too!!  I will try out some recipes soon and post them.  It is all about the eggs, you know!! 

 Hello, handsome!  These pictures were taken in the wood shed which is attached to the chicken coop.  The chickens love hopping from log to log.  They also love the bugs that hide in the crevices of the wood. 

 "I am pretty, oh so pretty!"  That is what this rooster must be thinking. 

We have a farm truck that is a 1974 Ford F100.  It is a black beauty!  We bought it from a friend for a great price, and it only has around 40,000 original miles.  The bed is rusted out, so our plan is to have it repainted black and have Buttercup Farm painted on the side along with a painting of a buttercup rooster.  Then, we plan on putting on a new flat bed and rails.  We will use that truck for Farmers' Market and anything else.  We will be sure to take before and after pics. 

 This is a buttercup hen.  They are not nearly as beautiful as the roosters, but they still have interesting coloring.  She is on top of the wood pile. 

Another buttercup hen!
