Surly and Lucy 2. :love

On another note, it turns out Surly only had the one chick survive. I found two that died before getting all the way out of the shell, and one egg that turned out to be infertile. She is not sad about it, so neither am I. She is quite happy to be up and about and taking care of her one little chick, who is a buff orpington and will be named Lucy 2 after my beloved and belated Lucy. Counting on it being a pullet, of course. :lol:

The other chickens are having some stressful days while we are trying to acclimate them to a new coop. We had to gather a few up and put them in to lay their eggs. I'll let them out in a while, but after they are all in tonight, I'll leave them in for a day or two until they get used to it. (Who recommended that? Good idea.) It turned out so nice and they have oodles of space, but "it ain't home". :lol:

That would be me I believe!

Cute picture. Looks like a happy pair.
How did the mom get the name Surly? I always took the word surly as an adjective.

Yes...a good adjective to describe this gal up until now. She used to growl at me when I gave her berries, and grab them out of my hand. If I didn't do it fast enough, she was likely to bite at my boot. :lol: She's lucky that I found all that endearing.

Oh, and she got the name when she was a couple days old. She was born with attitude. :lol:

ETA: The three chicks were Surly Girl, Girlie Girl and Whirly Girl, all very descriptive of their personalities. Over time the names got shortened.

Beef Stroganoff. Haven't had that since the 70's. I was working with my boss/boyfriend and one client (a great cook) brought some for us. I never had it before or since(fast food places I can afford don't sell it). It was the most delicious food I have even eaten.

Glad I had it before someone very in the know, said "If you saw her kitchen, you never would have eaten a bite of it." :(

After gathering them up again tonight, they are definitely staying in for a couple days. Plenty of room, food and water in there.

I had to keep the guineas penned up for a month when I changed them to another coop.
