Our first duck call prototype seems to work okay. Now to refine the design and nerdy it up a bit.

$5 a dozen is starting to sound pretty good for our free range eggs, isn't it?

Even though we know it's one of the risks of raiding truly free-range chickens, it always hurts a little when one is taken by a predator. Sadly, hawks are hard to defend against and usually a protected species.

Luckily, the roosters protected the rest of the flock.

This is Chewie. He thinks he guards the flock. Mostly, he runs from Gomez. As you can see, he fits in a cat hammock. So, he may be a little bit smaller than he estimates.

Meet Gomez. He's our top roo. He's big, he's beautiful, and he's noisy.
