I have shared with you the going story of Rooty, the use to be wimpy. rooster. Well I have culled most of his competition and now he has discovered his manhood. He is climbing in any hen in site and when the one the last four other remaining roosters go near his hens, he defends them with force. I guess it just took a little longer for him to grow up than the rest.
Well I have culled 12 roosters so far this year and I have four more that I will be culling or taking to a swap meet in September. Rooty will be my only rooster that I keep. I ended up with 18 hens. I had nineteen that made it to almost laying age but I found one dead on the coop floor. It looked like she broke her neck. I assume she fell off the roost and I blamed my rowdy roosters so that is why I ended up culling seven this week.
It was just Karen and I this week so she was stuck holding the head out for me to chop it. You should have seen her with her head turned and eyes closed. It was funny but at least she got out and helped me. She also helped me pluck the feathers. I did the meat carving and she did the meat cleaning and it took about a half hour per roosters. I have been so busy that I have not had much tome to do much including getting pictures of the chickens put up on the blog. Tomorrow, we are leaving for a cabin for week so it will have to be next week. I will have no Internet access so that means no post for at least a week.
From my coop to yours, have a great week and be sure to drop me a comment to let me know my readers are still there!

The following is a sponsored review for a credit information site.
I was asked to review a site called Extra Credit cards. I first visited the site looking for any benefit that it offers to the readers. The site offers many great short articles that help to make decisions before you Apply for Credit Card. The site is basically set up as a consumer credit guide with details of what all the terms mean.
I found the site full of information that could help someone new to credit cards. I am quite experienced in the world of finance and I even found an article about trailing interest that I was not even aware of. Besides the informative information, they do have offers to many credit cards for whatever your situation is.
The site is like many other credit information sites. It offers you lots of articles in the hopes that you would sign up for one of the offers on their site. I have compared their offers to many others Online and they are good offers. My one point of disappointment with the site is that the articles are dated and it does not look like anything has been added since January 2007. My fear with this, from a consumer view point, would be how current are the credit card offers. If they do not plan to add articles often, I think they would be better served to omit dates.
The site is nice and it is quite easy to find an article that appeals to you. The overall look of the site is comforting and though the main point is to advertise for credit cards, the ads are not so intrusive that it takes from the information. I found this to be one of the better set up credit card information sites but they include much of the information already included in many other sites.
If you are looking for a credit card or for information about credit cards, I would suggest at least checking out this site. Who knows, they may help you get your first or your best credit card!

The following is a sponsored review.
One of the newest attraction areas of the world is in the former Soviet Union. There are many interesting cites that were once hard to visit and closed to most of the world. One of those cities in Prague in the Czech Republic.
Prague is one of the oldest cities in the old world. It is a beautiful city full of wonder and mystery. The historical value is extensive and they offer some of the most unique sites like including the Prague Castle which is considered the largest ancient castle in the world.
If you are considering a visit, you should check out the deals on Cheap Prague Hotels. The site I linked offers many great deals that will save you both time and money. They offer both a star system and a customer ranking so you are sure to find the quality you want and deserve. They will find you the best price for what you are looking for. Four star hotels at a two star price.
If Prague is not the city for you, this site also offer discounts form all kinds of Hotels in the World. They offer an easy to use format with quick response time to searches.
This is an interesting site but be aware that the funds are stated in Euros and if you do need to reach them, the phone is a European number. Otherwise, they offer great deals for great prices so be sure to check them out if you need a hotel for your travels.

Remember just a few years back when you paid full price for all your vacation needs? Yes once in a while you were lucky and a local promotion offered you a coupon for a few bucks off. We are so lucky now to have the Internet and it is so easy to find a discount just at the tips of your fingers.
Karen and I are planning are end of the year big vacation and we are still deciding where to go. We are also debating rather to drive or fly. I have an SUV and that is out of the question so the first thing I will have to find is some Car Rental Coupons. The rental will pay for itself with the savings on gas and wear and tear of my SUV.
We are thinking about maybe driving to a theme park and spending a few days. I found some great deals and some Six Flags Discounts which will cut the cost on the park and many area attractions. Since it is only five hours from us, it would a nice getaway but close enough to home that we would not have to drive for hours.
Another option we have is a trip to Las Vegas. Karen really wants to go but I am afraid of losing to much money.
Karen did some great searching and found some great Las Vegas Coupons. However, we have not decided which to do yet.
It is great knowing that whatever we decide, we can find some great discounts on the Internet. I am not sure how people planned a vacation without it.
