My Brabanter cockerel started crowing this morning!

Beautiful, look at that hairdo and those painted toenails!

What a doll Mary, looks like he is growing a little pineapple on his head.

Snarky then is a compliment guess Kelly is just uncomfortable accepting one.

I'm an just LOVING this spitzhauben I've got growing out- having a heck of a time getting started with this breed. I've had a breeding quad since mid spring. At first a lot of clear eggs, then a lot of bloodrings, I seem to lose more than average number of chicks for no reason, then I finally had a few chicks in the brooders and I had a massive shed overheat and lost everything. I managed to get a few more hatched out before they went into molt. Crossing my fingers this is a girl! I'm thinking it is but not sure yet. She's about 7-8 weeks old.



Ammon is enamored with her. He asked tonight if he could name her. I told him if he came out and held her for a few minutes every day, and tamed her with mealworms, for two months, he could name her. He is thrilled!

Except it's usually used in this context:

Snark is sometimes mistaken for a snotty or arrogant attitude.

I'm not all that familiar with the breed, but I'd say that is a pullet.

Lonnyandrinda How could I have missed the great photo of your son and the spitzhauben - they are both so cute. What a stern parent you are to make Ammon hold the chick for 2 minutes a day, and feed it worms and stuff.. I'm sure he would do that with no reward. I would do it too except for the worms & stuff -

Hahaha. He's funny about the animals, he likes them but now that they aren't "new" anymore he's pretty indifferent about them. He does chores when asked but the animals don't really excite him. So when this little lady caught his eye I though I should urge him on a little!

You're funny Rinda.
