Just the name Chocolate Silkie is soooo devine

 

[LarryPQ]

It's deceptive.

You don't want to lick a silkie. Trust me.

So sorry about the fried eggs, Mahonri! Were the Polish in there or somewhere else?

Not lick most definitely

But it sounds soooo very soft and strokable

I just had a lady buy three silkie chicks from me to use as Therapy birds. So perfect I think

Is Tiki a goose or a duck

She is beautiful

She has quilled neck feathers like my French Toulouse Goose Miss Adell

She is a pet quality Sebastopol goose.

Here are my babies:

OH NO! I have been telling everyone I don't want geese, but those are beautiful birds! What are their temperaments like? I just have memories of being chased by my neighbors geese as a kid. Not to say it wasn't entertaining, but it's hard to get anything done!

My poor Darling hubby is absolutely brutalized by mine

He can't go to the green house or out into the garden without being visciously attacked by my Miss Adell

Sometimes I try to remind her that we do have a roasting pan that is just about her size but it has no effect on her. My white chinese ladies are sweet as sugar though so I would pick your breed carefully

He will pick up a milkcrate to create a block and the herding staff but he eventually tosses them and runs for his life

Sometimes when my Miss Andrea is being really broody and I am taking the eggs away from her Miss Adell will attack me as well. One time I picked up the Milk Crate to hold between us and she jumped up on top of it and bit me in the face

. That was the last time I tried using the milk crate. Now I just give her the stink eye and try to show no fear and back away

I would rather be pecked down low than up high

So would this be considered "flapping"?
