Poor wee gal.

Soon though she will be resplendent again

 

[Ponypoor]

I shouldn’t laugh but I know exactly what you mean.
Cat wrapping around my legs at the top of the stairs will likely be my downfall.

I am thinking one of the horses, or maybe Fluffy - she likes to jump up and beg for treats…. She will likely trip me up, and then one of the horses will finish me off.

Just a theory.

RC, the things we love most will be our downfall.

Ya, and keep us bankrupt!

Which is which?

Curly’s egg baby is the frizzle, I have named her Betty in honour of Bob’s Betty (she was a frizzle polish). She was hatched first, she will be a splash I am sure.

Fluffy’s egg baby was the second one hatched, so he gets to be called Bert. I am sad about this but I knew it was more than likely to have a boy. I have time to worry about this so I am just going to enjoy the wee ones.

Curly’s wee darling

Fluffy’s handsome wee fella
Master Bert McNugget

Well better to have only one male instead of two.

Yay for getting a girl.
Now, for Fluffy's handsome boy you have time. I would start now knowing for sure he is a boy. List him expecting it to take time to place. I would advertise him as a Polkie, silkie x polish cross. I would also throw in pictures of dear departed Floyd to show a "example" of what he may end up looking like as he grows. Obviously different color, but possibly same body type. Add in pictures of Mr. P and Fluffy in the listing. He may surprise you and have interest right away. If he does, you have to decide if you want them to wait a few weeks until he is weaned or if you want to place him right away. If he is 3ish weeks old, I would be inclined to go ahead and place if they are set up to finish brooding him out, but that is your decision. Another thing to ponder on while he is listed if it takes time. You may find with him being the only boy Mr P and the girls may be more receptive to a young roo. He could be the 2nd in command that Mr. P could use. Time will tell.

He might be a kinder, gentler roo, given he is half Mr. P And, honestly, Mr. P DOES need help with all those ladies!!!

I am eggcited to see what Betty turns out like; I am certain she will be frizzle and a splash.

Bert may also turn out splash like Mr P. I will likely wait till he is weaned to list him, and yea by then I will know if he will behave, I have had a Fluffy boy before and he was a terror! Long before he was weaned!
