Hi again....
Yes, I have yet to introduce the family.
My girls are 4 Araucanas, which I haven't named. I tease my kids and mother-in-law that their names will be Stew, BBQ, Chicken Bog and Pot Pie. Before I get boos and sneers.....I am joking.
My sweetheart is a Red Star that I call BusyBee since she goes everywhere I go in the run. I mean everywhere. This is the only one I will sneak out and take for walks around the yard since whenever I walk to her, she sits down. I am sure there is a proper term for what she is doing. It is almost like she goes submissive when I reach for her.
My youngest son's favorite is Goldie, a big Buff Orpington and my wife loves our Black Austro because of the way the feathers change. We just call her Blackie and she kisses my fingers whenever I stick them near her beak. By kiss....I mean she tries to treat my fingers like a grub. I shouldn't tease her but it is "our thing" together.
I am also partial to my Barres Rock who I have named Checky due to the feather colors.
We have had our girls since April and are now starting the egg process. I was SHOCKED to learn that my biggest egg comes from BusyBee, (red star) since I related hen size to egg size.
Anyway, thanks for welcoming me SC people and I just want to let on that I have a goofy sense of humor, love reading the posts and am the type of person that knows that we all are different, like our chickens, in personality which makes us all individuals.
Hey..this makes my 10th post! What do I win??
