Ben,
I have a totally off topic question! Did your boys watch Bananas in Pyjamas? My 3 year old just found it on Netflix and LOVES them! LOL... I was just wondering since it was an Australian show.
On a chicken note, we are going to process our extra roos on the 25th.... I am only keeping 1 Black Copper maran boy, and then bringing home 3 new EE pullets and an EE roo!
I thought every kids grows up on B1 and B2?! Yeah, our kids loved them but they are getting a bit older now. My youngest still loves Peppa Pig. They tend to tune in for the modern action cartoons now, I even sat down and shared some oldies with them which they enjoyed. Original Ninja Turtles was my era, along with He-Man. We even watched a few Popeye when the kids refused to each spinach hahahaha, worked a treat as they love the stuff and get up and flex after finishing their dinner lol
Glad they moved away from In the Night Garden, that show weirded me out.
High Five is the latest Aussie kids show taking the world by storm
They did boom for a while, but have not seen much of them, they replaced all the originals and have not done as well since I think. Maybe we out grew the phase as our kids got older (5/7)
My boys liked the wiggles for about two seconds. Then it became to girly. LOL. HUH??
Hey... if they weren't going to go in there pot, eventually they'd have been in yours.
I agree with Alicia though. Keep that fav boy as long as possible. I really want to see what he turns out like.
The Wiggles were KINGS, richest skivvy wearers ever I am sure. They too had a heap of political stuff go on and seem to have petered out the last couple of years, but they had a solid 15 year run.
We had hoped they would not end up in our pot, but if they did not sell, then yes they would. I would rather feed my family after our efforts raising them than giving them away for free to feed others that just scoop free roos from the paper. Unless I know it's going to a good home, I will put something on their heads, even if it just covers a bit of feed that went into raising them for months.
The fav boy aka 'Sav' is nice, quiet and inquisitive. Even likes a pat on the back so he has won over Alicia.
I agree - he's very unusual and I would like to see how he grows up. My noisiest roosters by far are the Easter egger and Saloman who is half EE. Noisy guys. Bruno (fav) rarely crows and its very muffled when he does. It seems he's low ranking in the main flock so maybe that's why. The three favs I have left in the soup pot holding pen are quiet too, but my golden cuckoo marans roo is king over there. Maybe your fav boy will be quiet to keep around awhile
Our noisiest is by far Luna, she has this regular 'moaning' sound, she uses it for her egg song but she makes it often. To the point I am thinking if anyone complains, it will be because it sounds like we are miss treating her. I will try get a video sometime, but it sounds like she has her head trapped, or she is in labour, or she is a trapped prisoner screaming to be released hahahaha, but she does it when she is free ranging too lol.
Once all the crowing boy had gone, it was quiet for about half a day and the last FWM crowed yesterday afternoon.....it's like a never ending line hahahaha.
Another hot weekend coming up, picked up some melons from a local farmer, going to pre size them and freeze them for the flock.
