I have 2 cockerels Wild thing (Barred-cochin-silkie),he's the barred one. And theres Rocky road (favorelle-silkie),he's the unknown colored one with black puffs.
Hi, I my name is Cleopatra and my Lady always says I am sweet and pretty! She loves to hold me because I am quiet and gentle and don't have a freak out bone in my little soft body. My mama is a belgian bearded mille fleur d'Uccle and my daddy is her son! (scandalous I know) who is a black silkie X (obviously) mille fleur d'Uccle. I came out of the egg with a good attitude and it hasn't left
My Lady is always having to explain to her two kids that I am HER pet and while she doesn't mind sharing me with them I am still HERS!
I know she loves me because she brings me the yummiest worms and bugs and when it is cold she brings me the most heavenly warm oatmeal kefir mix! I am about 9 months old - and I lay nearly every day no matter what the weather is doing.
I am very special as I have those lustrous silkie eyes, a crest, beard and muff, 5 toes, feathered legs and feet, black skin, super soft feathers and I fly even better than my mama does - and my favourite occupation is hunting for juicy bugs with Lady in tow to chase away all the nasty big Cleopatra eaters.
Sorry, but I had to go back and look to see if her(?) user name really was "Booby Joe." Thanks for the giggle though. And I think she was my favorite too.
Thanks to all the participants for all the pretty pictures of some cool birds!
