Anyone want to chat RIGHT NOW?

Going off of normal PA winters, I've been lucky to only have to do it every couple of days so far.
And of course the indignant victims get their kisses. It probably just worsens the demeaning trauma.

There are the roos that hate your guts.
And there are the roos that pretend to... but don't really XD

A Christmas in Vermont.

Never heard of that one.

 

[HeavensHens88]

Oh man. That sounds super annoying.
What breeds?

Oh, let's see here...
1 Plymouth Rock, 4 Cemanis, 3 Alohas, 4 d'Anvers, 6 d'Uccles, 2 OEGBs, and an overabundance of mutts.

Cemanis?!?!?!
Pic's please!
Never heard of Aloha's before....
What variety of d'Anvers?
Gotta love those mutts. Every one looks different!

I'm considering myself lucky for the moment. Out of all of them, only my old man d'Uccle and maybe two of the Cemanis have it in them to launch an offense.

28, and only 3 that try to flog you? Consider yourself very, very lucky.

So...because I'm too lazy to catch up on the 100 pages I missed on...what's happening?

We're talking about HH88's roos and their vaseline slathered extremities. XD
Apparently they aren't happy about it XD

Mostly chicken talk.... Some talk about Christmas.

Hm, the one picture that I have immediately on hand is the one you didn't ask for. Oh well.

Most of the time, my only picture-taking device is a laptop, so do excuse the atrocious quality.

Alohas aren't a recognized breed, nor are they anywhere near breeding true, but they're a hot backyard project out of the western US.
I started out with them when I confiscated a bunch of birds off of an abandoned property for sale. The two scruffy Sussex mutts were the two that worked enough charm to convince me to hang onto them, and it was only when the hen hatched a clutch behind my back that I came to appreciate how much they looked like the party-speckled phenomena I'd sighted on here a couple times. Whether they originated out of an intentional project line or were nothing more than pretty backyard accidents, they became my official Alohas.
And, now that they've gotten their numbers up over 20, I think it's hilarious just how true their phenotype does breed. I swear, I could write up a standard off the birds I have right now and every future chick would conform nicely. Definitely not like any mutts I've dealt in before.
Only have a picture of one of my girls right now, but I'll remember to snap some of the boys in the daylight sometime.
