You still tease me with those silver pullets.
Anyway, I've had two EE's for too long without posting in this thread. . . Here's my roo, Marc Antony:
And here's my hen, Tufted. She got the name from back when I thought Murray McMurray actually sold Araucanas, and it looked to me like she was getting tufts. . . So her nickname became her name. Of course, her breed name did not stick.
My REAL Araucanas are due to arrive in 13 days though!!
Tufted was the freakiest, most skittish and flighty pullet I ever had - She was really beginning to annoy me. Finally, after she started laying (brown eggs. . .
) she calmed right down. Marc Antony has curl toe paralysis, so he's always had difficulties doing the deed, and thus makes him kinda rough on the girls after he falls over their faces. Otherwise, he's a real sweety! Yesterday I found him tidying up a nest, then laying in it, then after a minute he got up, stood outside the nest, and started cackling like a hen! Sooo funny!!
