Ended 2024 Valentine's Day Contest Series—Wattle I Do Without You?

[Silkie2299781]

This is Laverne, a 4-month-old salmon faverolle. She is my first faverolle to survive, they are all so fragile
She also follows me around like a puppy, except she loves to be held and petted. She doesn't really have any friends, but she and Poppy are making friends gradually

This is my favorite call duck Remi. She was one of the call girls given to me by a special lady i met here on byc through @WVduckchick and her thread Welcome to the pond. I also had the pleasure of meeting @WVduckchick and her hubby on that dux smuggling vacation. We had the best time and i will never forget it!

Peep was my favorite little hen in the flock.
She’s a white EE with copper streaks, and I was the one she’d always go to for hugs. She had no problem being approached and picked up by me, hugged or sat down with for hours. She’d fall asleep sometimes after a long session of petting, as noticed in the pic above.
She was also always near the bottom of the pecking order, so she seeked more attention from me and I always delivered.
Sadly, she along with the rest of the flock had to be given away when we moved, but I’m happy to not have seen her die; now I can just assume she’s a live and happy wherever she is.

Twinky was one of my favorite hens before she sadly died.
She was a BO and lived a happy and healthy eight years before she passed away, but I loved to sit and pet her for however long she’d stand me. She always got jealous when I held another chicken.

 

[HennaPenHollyPol]

This is my favorite bird. Posey aka white bird. She is the sweetest snuggle bird I've ever had.

 

[HennaPenHollyPol]

Holly, my chunky grandma bird.

 

[HennaPenHollyPol]

Birdie, my beautiful yellow bird.

 

[Egg Snatcher]

This is my BRNn x Cornish cross. She and her sister lay my pretty brown eggs. When this hen was young and less heavy she would fly on top of my back when I bent over in their run. I love that she like to come up to the camera for pictures

 

[Tleafreader]

This is my Bear. He hatched and was almost double the size of the other chicks and SOOO fluffy. He was and still is adorable. He has a great personality too! He enjoys coming in the house in the evenings and sitting on my bf's lap and watches TV with us. He always alerts us if he sees a bird on the screen. lol
He is a very special boy indeed.

 

[LhickenChicken]

This is Bessie. She is my special chicken ever since Lhicken died. I always thought she looked like an angel. She likes sitting on my shoulder while I feed her something (in the summertime I'd pluck wild raspberries off the bush and feed them to her while she sang in my ear).
