Is the E
long like CREEL

That's how I say it.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Pardon me for changing the subject a little, but can
some one tell me how to pronounce Crele? Is the E
long like CREEL or short like CRELL, or a combination
of the two like CREELEY or CRELLY?

It is pronounced Crele rhymes with gel. Short e. But like many words borrowed from other languages, it is open to interpretation.

Good question.
I've always said it like Cree -ol (long e; ol sounds like old minus the d)
Of course I don't breed them so have no reason to say it. LOL

That's why I don't breed them. Haha!

I have two pullets coming in June, not to breed, so I'd
like to be able to tell people what they are. Guess I'll just
say these are my two new birds, Kitty and Della. LOL

We've been entirely too quiet. How is everyone doing?

Well. I'll ask what maybe a stupid question, but I'm a newbie
and just have one hatchery BO that to me is kind of boring looking
Had 2, but just sold one. I've gotten interested in the English and plan to add some to my flock. I can't have roos, so they'll be no breeding.
I'm fortunate to live an hours drive from CRC, and Wellford, and 3
hours from Greenland Farms. I'm planning on buying pullets that
I can pick up. The breeds I'm seriously considering are Isabel Cuckoo, Crele, Blue, Lavender, Black, and Lavender Cuckoo.
I already have a Black Astralorp, and may get a blue one also. Any
comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I didn’t see any question, much less a stupid one. lol Did you forget to ask it?

I thought I did in asking for comments and suggestions. But forget questions, just make comments or suggestions.
