She is normally really quiet and very sweet.  She spends most of her day perching on the edge of the brooder staring pensively out of the window.  She watches everything!!!  If we are cooking, she perches on the other side of the brooder so she can watch us.  She is very protective over the other birds, offering a wing to them when they perch with her.  When she gets out of the brooder to stare out the window more throughly, she usually jumps right back into her box when she is done.  She only got loud and needy when her buddies went home.  She is from you, I wonder who her mama is?  She is pretty petite and graceful.

Could be Merrys baby. Lily is one of hers and she is just the sweetest girl! Merry is also very gentle and one of the first to always come get a hug or snuggle in my lap. Gidget likes to steal my hat and play with my hair. Bridget is shy, but will slowly come in for quiet time. Widgie likes to tease by coming near me and then yelping when I go to touch her, but once you do grab her she's all cuddles and hugs. Harvey is the biggest and of course she's spoilt rotten. She likes to lean against me on her blind side. I think she knows I will always protect her. Didg has a thing about strings, laces, or anything loose. She must have it! She likes to lay her head on my shoulder, but doesn't always want me to touch her. Those are all the mommas, so you choose, but if she's as gentle as a lamb I'm betting on Merry. Big big hugger that girl. She also like to ride the 4wheeler with me.

We actually have a donkey too, that does nothing. This is "Augustus" (aka "Gus").

The raccoons and possums just stopped caring that there is anything out there. We have a dog on a run, they learned to walk around him. We have a donkey. They avoid him. We have geese in the outermost runs, they leave them alone and kill everything else around them. It's just a losing battle. They just kill birds for the fun of it. I hate the buggers and I'm sick and tired of fighting so hard to get so far behind.

you need to get someone to show you how to run electric fence with a 40 watt light bulb, they wont come back

pp received from ChickNmamma please clear..

dumb question... once someone is no longer a probationary swapper, do we still need to post like this to clear them?

May I be cleared, pretty please? Swap #3...

Not a dumb question.. I have to be cleared 7 times before I won't have to ask to be cleared.

Well lets see? If I knew who momma was then I could come up with something from that. Ours are named Merry,Harvey,Fidget, Bridget, Gidget,Didget, Widget, Prissy, Sissy, and the old ladies haven't gotten names yet. Depends on their personalities. The ones from our Xmas hatch that we kept are Steve, the kids favorite, mutt, Jeff and the sweetest little girl is Lily. We like to find names that fit their personalities. Fidget is fidgety. She can't let your fingers be. She's the only biter we have, but she's not mean she just likes to have your finger in her beak Lima a pacifier.


So find something about her that stands out. At least that's how we do it.

Who has the Spangled OEGB??? Were they bantams or LF?

I have a trio of spangleds...they are bantams. They have not started laying yet, but their combs are turning red, so I figure it won't be long

Name her Angel

Great Idea!!!! She is just like an angel. I think I will name her Gabriel and call her Gabby:

Gabriel: Angelic Messenger
Gabriel, an archangel and one of the two highest ranking angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic lore. Her name means "strength of God". She is a unique archangel in the sense that it is almost certain she is the only female angel in the higher echelons, although some believe there are no female angels. Gabriel fosters joy, truth, justice and love. She grants wisdom in interpreting our dreams and visions.

I like that

 

[ChickNmamma]

I like that too.. and Gabby is the perfect name for a turkey! You talk, they talk. You try to talk again and they are already talking back..
