My faverolles are in a large mix flock for now, its a large grow out pen I use for all my juvinile birds. But very soon they will have their own coop.

If I can get away with it she will...wink.png  Right now she has to be content coming with Connor and I while we feed horses/work in the garden/etc....

I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.  -Unknown

BYC Masterpiece Classics Presents:

 

Derperella and Juliet

 

Juliet:

O Derperella, Derperella! Wherefore art thou Derperella?

Deny thy Roo and refuse thy grill;

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my Derp,

And I'll no longer be a Welsumer...

 

Derperella:

[Aside] *stares*

 

Juliet:

'Tis but thy absence that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself, though not a Chook

What's Derperella? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a Chook. O, be not some other Chook!

What's in a name? that which we call a Derp

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Derperella would, were she not Derperella call'd,

Retain that dear perfection which she owes

Without that title. Derperella, doff thy chair

And for that chair which is no part of thee

Take all my treats

 

 

Derperella:

*stares*

HEHE!

 

I wonder is Shakespeare appreciative of your attempts to rid Juliet of her Romeo and replace his with a so much better, Derparella? 

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.
