Finding Fitz

I may have neglected to mention that on the way to pick up our new turkey hen, Gus, we might have also stopped by Moonfalls Farm to adopt a teeny, tiny rooster.

Since Charlie's passing, I have been feeling like our farm was too quiet.  I miss her vibrant braying.  This coupled with losing our elderly gentleman rooster, Beemster, over the winter, I left like it was time to recruit some new song writers.  Enter Murtagh Fitzgibbons, aka Fitz.  

Fitz is a purebred mille fleur Belgian bearded d'uccle bantam rooster.  He is about 8 months old and is only the size of a pigeon.  He has amazing feathered feet and is super gentle.  Best of all, his crow is amazing - it is the soprano version of a hearty cock-a-doodle-do.  I am so pleased.

Murtagh Fitzgibbons is small but mighty.  He is fitting in very well with the flock so far and has even started roosting cuddled up to all the lady hens at night time.

With a new song in the air, all is well here at Gael Glen Farm.
