How about Hedwig......it is a German female given name, which originates from Old High German Hadwig, Haduwig (hadu meaning "battle", and wig meaning "fight)".......(s)he has had to battle and fight for its life and to stay alive.
My Cher loved to be loved on and would make a cooing sound when I would pet her or talk to her. I have always wanted chickens but, I didn't have any idea how attached my heart would be to them. I totally understand how you feel.
I was hoping for girls also....I bought what was supposed to be 2 Leghorn pullets and a speckled Sussex pullet.....what I got was a Cornish X roo, a Cornish X pullet and a Speckled Sussex roo....sigh
This is what my Cher looks like! Is this a recent picture or are they older now?
I have been out on the porch watching mine and they stick together, if Hedwig gets a drink, Cher has to have a drink.....if Hedwig finds something to eat, Cher eats part of it, if Hedwig makes a comfy spot to lay...
12 weeks....eek...mine are 11 weeks and 3 days....I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for their early departure, but I just love them so much and I know that it's going to hurt when they die or I have to have them put down. A lot of people have told me to butcher them.....there is...
Griffinsong,
Yuppers, watching what they eat......I ferment their food...feed them in the mornings, they free range through the day and I feed them just before putting them up at night. They are so funny to watch when they run!
This is Hedwig....he weighs about 15lbs.
This is Cher.....she weighs about 12lbs
When I got them, they were SUPPOSED to be Leghorn pullets....I also got a speckled Sussex pullet that turned out to be a roo....that being said.....I love, love, love all three of them!
This is my first time...
