I don’t like having a favorite pet, but I have to say, Rocks-Anne (Barred Rock hen) is by far the friendliest chook I have. She tells me when she wants to be picked up and snuggle with me. She will fall asleep in my arms, Coo and purr like a kitten. Me and that lady have been through a lot the last six years. I love her very much.
Oh, gosh, she is SUCH a pretty little thing!
Benny and Joon. George and Gracie. Ricky and Lucy. Rhett and Scarlett. Clark and Lois. Zeus and Hera. Jupiter and Juno. William (Will, Bill, Liam) and Kate. Heathcliffe and (can't remember her name from Wuthering heights if that's the right Bronte book). Henry and Eleanor. Mork and Mindy. Han and Leia. Ryker and Deanna. Richard and Hyacinth (keeping up appearances) or Onslow and Daisy. Harry and Ginny. Ron and Hermione. Neville and Luna. Poirot and Marple. Gilbert and Anne. Louis and Serena (although they're swans)That's my plan. I figure if HE gets bonded to them, he will love them regardless and won't be afraid. And, if THEY bond to him, they won't be aggressive toward him/protective against him.
I'm hoping they will help protect my chickens and ducks. They are being brooded with my current ducklings and chicks, hoping they'll bond nicely (All involved!)
So, I am thinking of Harry & Sally for their names (like the movie), but honestly, other than that Idea....they haven't spoken to me yet, name wise.
We definitely had some frigid weather this winter, but our February and March was actually quite nice, oftentimes warmer than yours! This has been a really late spring though. We can get snow every month except July in our area, but it's not that common to have several inches like that in May.
Yep, last month and a bit of the Saturday markets (I was told that the guys putting up the house wanted us to give them cash as well as the ridiculous number of goats they hunted) I managed to save a little over $5k, and still cover all the overhead to maintain product levels. May-November are usually insane for us schedule wise as DH is working two paying jobs (almost like one full time oneThis was why I chuckled.It is GREAT that you will be able to sell more!!!
) plus working at the abattoir here three days a week for free. There’s also the Saturday market, peeping the product for the markets, and the chickens… meat chickens included. Which is going to make the whole “roof” thing that much more challenging.
She is so like my flexi but flexi isn't so affectionate but she trusts me as soon as she is picked up more than the rest.
He can't as of today because we are getting this roof replacement and he's doing some sort of work in his garden. But they have enjoyed it. I'll collect something from the front for them to forage.Beauties
Your neighbour sounds like a good person to have your gals helping out
They are just insanely cute
