Silence Is Not Golden Here

[Conan]

Anything like this girl? I love the dove grey splashes. Of my three EE's, she's the smallest and shyest. She won't let me touch her, but whenever she gets picked on she runs to hide behind me or under my chair for protection.

Those are some beautiful pale, pale splashes. Lovely coloring. Is she from one of your hatches?
I'm forever entranced by the mutt, the EE. A definite favorite of mine with their weird quirky personalities. All of mine are deck dwellers. They come around to the slider by the kitchen when we're cooking and beg like dogs. They also clean the dog bowls after the beasts finish. Nary a scrap of waste.
I once had a box of dried lavender on the deck near the slider for adding to my soap and Adele, one of my former EE girls, started laying in it! Every day a lovely blue egg in a box of lavender.

Yup
I really do feel like a new mom. Wake up to screaming baby, feed baby, cuddle with baby, put baby in playpen, do work, come home to baby, cuddle with baby again, put baby to bed.

Blech! Horrible sounding - I recently outed myself on Kiki's Balut thread as the monster that I truly am... I can't stand babies!

They are lovely birds! She's not one I hatched - and therefor, I'm not really sure how old she is... I stopped to talk to a local woman and find out if she had any fertile eggs, and she had a pen of EE pullets that were horribly over-crowded. Their entire pen/coop combo was smaller than my coop alone, let alone the run, and there must have been thirty birds in there. She didn't have any eggs, but I bought three pullets just to get them out of there - Snow is one of the three. These are the other two, Smoke first, then Ash;

Babies are amazingly repulsive to me, so don't feel alone. The sounds they make give me a headache, the smell disgusts me, and I find them remarkably ugly. Now, a kitten, puppy, foal, calf, chick... I'm fine with those, though this last batch of chicks, the mutts, have very piercing cheeps. High pitched noises irritate me, generally. I don't like children, either.

Therefor, I've made a point of not siring any children. And I have every intention of never doing so.

I feel the same.
I cannot stand children.
And the thought of pregnancy makes me sick. No thanks.

They are all beautiful! I love the tiny little touches of pale sherbert coloring in Smoke - gorgeous! I'm glad you have them! Will you be hatching any eggs from them in the future?

Your post just got a straight up guffaw out of me! Yeah, I don't do babies. Nor will I ever have any. I'm with @Cyprus - the thought of being pregnant horrifies me to my very core.
I have known this about myself since I was very young. Everyone always told me that I would change my mind when I got older. NOPE. More certain now than ever. Hard pass. I will take a puppy (maybe two), kittens, ducklings, baby goats, and so on and so forth.

I'm really hoping that Copper, my Serama boy, actually manages to get the job done with them when they're ready. I just want to see what the result would be. I want muffs, a beard, and a Serama strutt!

I tried so, so hard today to get a golden sebright to mate my Mille Fleur D'Uccle hen. I want the cross and so does his owner.
The boy kept acting like the big stud in his case but when presented with a lady he courted but didn't know what else to do

So awkward
