oh really? they do? i would feel so bad thinking about her all alone all night but if it would make her adjust better for the show then that might be an option... especially since she is kind of wild, lol

I'm learning I need to go to Reno to get toe nails done. LOL

My bantam Favs have long curly toe nails

hahaha! i wonder why her nails are so long. when she is in the dirt her toes look normal but when she is on the deck they definitely cause her toes to curl in

From what I've heard Barnevelders are pretty shy birds as a breed. Calm but they avoid human contact. I don't mind that, I just hate it when they freak out when you come anywhere near like a few birds I've had (like Lakenvelders). I'm sure the breeder has a lot to do with it. I mean you can choose the best temperaments for breeding stock but since this is not part of the SOP it often gets set aside as umimportant. I hope she does well!

she i pretty okay with me being around, but if i try to grab her she bolts and if i DO grab her she literally screams and fluffs up. im gonna work with her for the next two weeks though. shes gonna be one spoiled mama! i guess it doesnt help that she is STILL mothering her adult babies. i guess she is in constant protection mode.

I was thinking the same thing! Cause she was pretty calm before she went broody. But boy, once she went broody, LOOKOUT!!! She would puff all up and try to peck us if we went at her the wrong way. She is a good momma though!

I think Tyler may have a point. A night away from mothering duties may help some.

Seriously I've got to get some sleep. Sunny, I said to go get some sleep! Dang it! She never listens to me!

Actually I use a hatchet on my toe nails. Had to cut them, it's cold and I started wearing boots again lately.

Did ya noticed I passed out after I posted in here? Long day, but I had to say something when twisted toes were mentioned.

Oh and I read here often. Don't always say anything, but sometimes I can kill of a conversation, so I try to be good till I can't take it anymore. LOL See? Just like before I couldn/t keep my eyes open. One post and poof.

Aubrey I hope you win lots with your girl I'v egotten Barnies and they don't want to make it through the winter for me. Don't know why. But I hope you beat them all. Only I want you to win with lots of competition. I love winning that way. Never shown a chicken, but I showed dogs for 40 years and I love love love to beat lots of dogs out at one time. Adrenalin rush!
