I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been reading all of Barbara's adventures to my own crew.
Bettie, my GLW was not too interested, she is never much interested in people things.
Penny, my Red Sussex, and Peach, my Buff Sussex, listened politely and then when about looking for more treats. (All those people sounds usually end in treats, don't they).
But C.C. (stands for crazy chicken), really took to hearing about Barbara. After all, she thought she was a Barred Rock pullet until everyone pointed out that her comb grew in funny. Now they tell her she is some fancy sounding hen, a Dominique, but she know in her heart she is still a BR. Since hearing all about Barbara, she has been trying really hard to get out and start her own adventures. Unfortunate there is still too much of that cold, white stuff around the coop.
Thanks for making our day on many occasions!!!
