Derperella, the (weird) Faverolles, & Friends

[Tacampbell1973]

No, our vet was as stumped as we were. The only explanations we have are nerve damage from (???) or a possible false negative on the Marek's, though it is unlikely.

Also I must confess that every rooster I've had, has had at least 5 different nicknames!! I am terrible at just babbling words at them. Trousers was Trousers, Wibbles, Tibbles, Tibbs, Mr. Tib...

The Baron is: Baron Rufflerump, The Baron, Roosta', Ruffles, Snuffles, Puddles, Bubbles, Bubble, etc.....

No one said I made any sense!!!

I completely understand. My little white cochin hen thats currently brooding eggs is named Hope. Somehow I mutated her name to Hopey, then Hopey dopey, and finally now Dopadoo...its a sure sign that i love something when i give it all kinds of pet names.

I have the horrid habit of naming the critters when they are still chicks and haven't shown what they are yet. Thus I have one Silkie roo named Ingrid and an EE roo named Grace.

That's why my Buffy ended up being renamed Boris!

Although even though Igor was a girl the name just seemed to fit (and Igorina just sounded silly), so it stuck!

I have a pullet named Hercules - of course, it still kinda fits her personality

I tend to use a collective name for my chickens, (they all have names) but I tend to call them buboo

Wow! I have finally made it to the end of this thread. It took me about four and half days from beginning to end LOL. I read the funny stories and the Derpy parts to my kids. Now I will randomly hear one of them say "Hurrrr!" and all of them will giggle and stare at nothing, say "I luvs chair!", or quote something else to that effect. The people in this whole thread are so wonderful, warm, and supportive. The range of emotion I have felt with each up and down is incredible. It's like each chicken is an old friend almost at this point; sort of the way you bond with characters in a good book except these are real lives. I'm still sad over Trousers. He truly was the perfect roo. He was well-rounded in that he was an old soul: kind, smart, gentle, loving, and accepted each hens' antics as not only acceptable, but lovable. Plus, that coloring was brilliant! It's too bad they don't breed his mom anymore for that reason. I'd pay extra for one like him! I'm so relieved that Baron is doing so much better. I was almost panicking when I thought that he wouldn't make it there for a minute! I've also learned so much from your thread. Thank you so much Nambroth for allowing us all to peek into your coop and get to know your little flock. They are truly a joy!
