What a great little story! I love my Barred Petrie too, she is such a sweetie!I adore all of my birds, so I have to choose the one who find me to be her favorite. Wilma, hands down. She's a Barred Rock, very personable breed, IMO... Since bitty chickdom, she has been my little buddy, paying very close attention to everything I do, and stars forbid that I pay too much attention to anything other than her...!
Here she is at about 1 week, looking very muppetlike, and very adventurous

a couple of weeks later and Wilma is quite chilled out, loving her home and her Mother

a few more weeks later and she realizes that she like me to preen her, she gets more chill out time...

she thinks "stink eye" will get her what she wants... it usually works, I'm a sap![]()

probably 4 months old here, loves to roost in the big lilac hideout

nope, no privacy for Wilma, not even in the bath... that's what you get for making me love you so much...

she's still adventurous, she was the first on the new roost in the new enclosure

getting one of her "massages", she's been doing the squat for me during these sessions since she was 4 weeks old. She was the first to lay an egg out of 6 pullets of varying breeds, all the same age. a perfect small light brown egg, that was 3 days ago, hasn't missed a day since, little champion!

ahhh a sunbath! she's so pretty, her barring is lovely, her personality is very charming with everyone, even new people. she gets along fine with everyone, bird, cat, dog - although she is jealous of the dog and I often have to pet them both at the same time, my fiance finds this to be the most amusing thing ever.

my Wilma... what more can be said... I will always consider more Barred Rocks in the future. Wonderful breed...
Love Wyandottes, I have a SLW and she is so sweet and fluffy! Such pretty lacing too, like a little lace dress!
