Loved the Silkie video! So did my kids!
I am going to have to try the other versions of lentils. We love jalepenos.
Danz, if Hopper boy gets too lonely once his buddy has other responsibilities, could he be put with another d'uccle, even if they aren't the same color? I wanted to get a pullet his color when he turned out to be a crower, but never did. If I had I would happily share it. I do have a pretty Mille fleur he used to hang out with if that would help. She is getting ready to lay, or become noisier than he was, not sure... She makes the oddest cackles over and over. The D'uccles are my friendliest and most curious in my little flock. I have a porcelin too. She buddies with my EE and they are inseparable. So funny to watch!
I read a bit about those olandsk dwarfs. They sound very much like my d'uccles personality wise. Very neat little birds!! The buckeyes sound fun too! I would love to be assured the mice aren't eating my feed or near my house.....
I only have two other D'uccles right now and both are roos. They are both Mille Fleurs. Hopefully I'll be getting some more hatching eggs when it cools down.
DH happened to finally notice the buff laced polish yesterday and said, "That bird is awesome!" He thought it was beautiful. I told him if if is a girl it was going home with Sera, Aubri, and Andy. He said, I wouldn't mind having more of them. He is such a chicken enabler!!
Oh, her next surgery is the 10th of October, so she has a bit of recoup time. They will be moving teeth and fixing part of her eye then.The next one will prob be in Dec, and she will have her jaw wired shut over Christmas for it all to heal. Rotten luck, but she announced to her new teacher that she will still come to school, and is LUCKY because she can drink all the smoothies she wants then
