Mine too. Although it was missing the question “Do you want your chicken to live for a long time?”

I know, in a later post I said ‘hardy’ sex link but I think ‘trusty’ might have been a more apt description

I love the name Corny Bobby.

She was named Cornelia Roberta but...that's a mouthful! Anyway, this version fits.

They are very attractive ladies!

What is the difference between a Dominique and a Barred Rock?

I lost both Vorwerks. No idea what happened to the 2nd girl. I found her dead when I checked on my girls Thursday morning. She had seemed fine @ roosting the night before so clueless as to what happened. I am picking up a couple more Wed as these were the man's pick & he wants to try again. She has a couple others I am interested in but not the Aracaunas I wanted.

Oh no! I’m so sorry. Perhaps their genetics were off. That is awfully young for sudden death.

Something for Fun

I was googling around the internet and I happened across this website discussing Wyandottes. A quiz popped up to align me with my perfect chicken breed. So obviously I took the quiz. Here is the website in case you want to do so as well. The quiz pops up when you access the site.

Knock and Donk have been laying eggs in an outside nest. I spotted Donk going up that bank in the picture. I hate that hen some days. No way I can follow her up that!
However, this morning I waited for Knock to slide off to her nest site and I tagged along behind trying to look as if I was interested in other things.
I watched Knock climb up the bottomof the bank and thought she was going to head up to the top where I had seen Donk. Instead she slid out of sight for a moment and then I saw her settle low on the bank. I was about 30 metres away so quite lucky to keep track of her.

Here's her nest. It's not a good spot. It's too close to the track and too easy to spot from the ridge.

Step back a bit onto the track and you can just make out where her nest is. Look at the middle of the picture and go left.
The track is where I stood when I took this picture.

Okay, chick names.
I have five littles. Names subject to changes, with personality traits
1. Coco
2. Shanny. ( Shenandoah )
3. Xzit (the chick named herself, pecking at my iPhone)
4. Bo-Peep ( Bo, if she’s a he)
And many colorful adjectives for the last one (such a stubborn little brat)
I’m hoping you BYC friends agree.

The epitome of elegance.
