R.I.P. Sargon

  Out of 28 chicks we only ended up with 1 rooster. I would have preferred zero but it could have been much worse. Our good friend Craig came out and "Put the rooster to good use" last weekend.
   I will say I do sort of miss the crowing in the morning. But I never want to see my kids get attacked by a rooster so he had to go.
   So... yes... his name was Sargon. We are studying Ancient Times in history this year. This study began soon after we got our chicks and so far we have Sargon, Buddha, Confucius, Hammurabi, Cheops, Huang Di, Lei Zu, Anansi, and my favorite to hear Kate say, Shamshi-Adad.  We have only made it to the middle kingdom of Egypt and still have many more chickens that need names!
