Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

Had a hen who died just like you describe. People said probsbly heart attack or stroke.

More fairy names I remember: Strawberry princess (childrens fairy tale),

And from Mythologies:

• Esterella
• Titania
• Ondona,
• Lady of the lake,
• Morgana
• Alberich
• Befana
• Elle
• Fanggen
• Niam
• Parisa

Thank you, Bdutch. I have used some of these names before but, Like @BYBob I will add them to my list of *next time*.

As for Portia, heart attack seems the most likely cause to me. I have lost several birds like this, almost always my bigger birds with one notable exception & that girl was a bantam of a large breed.

I seem to be moving towards an all bantam tribe, as they are my hardier, long lasting girls, Ha'penny excepted, & while I love her I am loath to get any more Campines until I can afford to secure my run better or I know they'll end up all over my town!

All wonderful names.
And flighty is just another way of saying intelligent, alert, and energetic!

Encouraging. They have been completely free ranged so humans are not their favourite thing and they seem very predator aware.

Nyx's feathering is a little unusual.​

This girlie in front I think will be Cobweb.
Her colouring is a mix of greys, whites & pale browns.​

I like that name. Very cool!

Thank you, RC. We all know what a sucker I am for eye candy!
I suspect the tiniest one will be Mustard Seed and the largest girl Sweetpea. They are all pretty flighty.

Those are fun names all!

Indeed. That is usually what "flighty" means.

This is Statement of the Week for me.
