My SLW has been a special case from day 1. She was the first to come near me when they went in the brooder for the first time, first to hop on me, first to the top of the brooder, the first to the top of the new brooder (a portable hot tub frame), first out of the brooder and has even joined me on the futon while I was sleeping. She was sitting on me sleeping! She begins chirping loudly when I am out of earshot for too long and will even get up on the brooder edge and look for me. Well now she has just gone too far...

I take a break from a movie I am enjoying to go to the restroom. Not 1 minute after I left the livingroom...and at the awkward moment (of lowering your pants to your ankles) I hear this horrific loud PEEP like nothing I have ever heard in this house. So naturally I adjust the pants in a hurry, throw open the door preparing to run to the brooder and kill whatever wild animal is in the house after my babies when the loud PEEP rings out again....right at my feet!

I look down and there, standing outside the bathroom door, starring up at me like she belongs there is my SLW! She came from the brooder in the livingroom through the diningroom, kitchen and laundry room to find me...and she did it fast too!

I have tried talking to her and explaining she is a CHICKEN not a parrot or a puppy...I have tried teaching her 'buk buk' and she will have none of it!

I ask you...what do I do now?

This is cute...Might be a little nerve wracking for you but all the same it is cute..

I don't have any baby birds in the house yet, still in the egg in the incubator, but once they do hatch, I wonder if I could end up with a chick like that.
I have a bottle baby lamb in the house who is dead set on believing I am her mom. If I am at all out of her site she gets so loud I have to check on her. We had her outside with the other sheep the other day and she wanted NOTHING to do with them. Never even went near them until I took her to them. Then she looked at me like...."Who are there weird wooly creatures. I am so happy I am a human baby and not a sheep baby"...AARRGGHH!!!

Gotta love those little human animal babies just a little bit more than normal don't ya!!!
