I'm starting to pick up on that. Perhaps with counselling you could learn to come out of your shell and become a productive member of this forum.

You forgot legHORN and DUCK-ELs...but I suppose you're going to claim you were taking it slow.

Some duckels for your viewing pleasure.

The favarollies...a coocoo(ca joo) marans- kind of like meringue..mare-ann (technically, french would indicate NO pronunciation of the 's' on the end. it's debatable for good measure...

And last but not least(drum roll, please) the SOOsex and legHorns...sorry, I have no asstralops

but there is a cochin-long o, like toe, in the back.

I see no coocoo marans, but I do see cuckoo marans

I know cuckoo is supposed to be pronounced 'coo-coo', but that always sounded stupid to me. Plus my grandpa and dad both pronounce it cuck(like cluck)-coo, when referring to birds like yellow-billed and black-billed cuckoos. Literally the way it's spelled. Sounds less goofy to me. So that's the way I say it, and I'm sticking to it

But of course, they are coo-coo clocks. And crazy people are coo-coo

Fave-relle-ss
I got that from a breeder. But I still pronounce it Fav-or-ols

Jayne - Yes...it is horrible!

People can be so cruel!

BantyRooster - Your Soosex put my Soosex to shame! They are beautiful. ---or is it Soosexes? Soosexi?

And "ravoli favarolis" will forever be burned into my brain...just wait...someone will ask what they are, and "ravoli favarolis" will come out before I can stop it.

To further confuse the situation, one of my future Faverolles shall be named "Duckels"!!!
