Who’s your sweetheart?

[Henrybelle]

Guess it would be Cuddlebug, aptly named. When she was little we'd pick her up and carry her around in one hand like this:

She's 2 now and still likes to play "airplane," even though she barely fits in my hand anymore. I lift her over my head and go zoom zoom!

Mine is Cinnamon. She likes to come into the house to eat dog food and then take naps on the carpet.

The little pronoun mix-up is fine -- guineas are a pain to tell, anyway!
He's very friendly... he once jumped up onto my mother's head when he was a fledgling! Follows me around, I can pet him like nothing, he'll perch on my arm and sit on my lap for cuddles... he's like a little dog, or something. Completely fine with being touched and petted.
Very special, indeed....

I just lost a guinea hen last November that was a lot like your Spook. She had the personality of a chicken. Loved her dearly...

We have a lot of sweet chickens (all bantam cochins) but our sweetest and favorite (don't tell the others!) would be Gracie. She is the absolute sweetest and is so good with the kids. They all are, but she holds an extra special place in our hearts.

This is Hoot, my EE Rooster. He is such a sweet boy. When I am giving out treats he will come stand by me and wait patiently for me to hand him his treat. He will even come when he is called. He is very good with the ladies.

The double laced barnevelder in my profile picture was a favourite. Her name was Lacey and she got bullied as a young pullet so I was her safe space. She would hop onto my shoulder and I could walk all over with her up there. Unfortunately I lost her last summer to a reproductive issue.

My living favourite is Speck. She's a 3 year old speckled sussex hen. She's very curious and is the only one I have now that doesn't mind being picked up.

That's my roo Joffrey and my favorite Arya together in the first picture - Arya is the runt of the group (we got 9 chicks at once), is significantly smaller than everyone else and just seems "behind" in everything. She's at the bottom of the pecking order for sure (I was surprised Joffrey was next to her, hence the picture) and I've always babied her a bit...not her fault she's the runt!

The other picture is her in her HC hammer pants. She's growing in her bottom feathers oddly compared to everyone else and looks comical running around.
