You Go Brahma!

Monica is very pretty. Charlie is growing up to be a handsome fella isn't he?

Turkens are very sweet birds Morgan. Unusual, but still good looking. Mine are very inquisitive. I need to get some pics of them today. Yes, dual purpose birds, but were originally bred with less feathers to make plucking easier.

OMG, what WE do to God's creatures to make life easier for US! At least that's not as bad as ear-cropping and tail-docking.....

LoL interesting! I am not familiar with Turkens, have only seen few and far between pictures of them as well. They sound neat!

Monica is in the nestbox right now giving me another egg! Man this girl has one heck of a work ethic!

My dark Brahma, Stevie, does this same thing. The first time it happened, I also melted. I could tell it was mutual love when another chicken jumped between us and Stevie growled! She really seems to prefer me over the other chickens.

Gritsar, Thor is a lady killer - human and chicken! What a handsome dude! Does BYC have a pinup calendar? He should be on the cover!

Monica is gorgeous! And such a pretty name for her too. What more could you ask for in a chicken; a large lap chicken who also happens to be beautiful and sweet tempered! So what is with the squatting? I assume it's either being submissive or being submissive and waiting-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places? Stevie is only 8 weeks old! Has she been hanging out with the wrong crowd?

Definately looking for love in all the wrong places lol. She seems satisfied with a pet from me, but I am sure she really really wants a tall, dark, handsom rooster to swoon her

When I get property first thing I am doing is getting me a little dark brahma cockerel

Morgan ur Brahma is gorgeous!

I was lucky, I went to D&B supply and asked for chicks that would be good layers, i was given two brahmas (I had no idea what i was getting myself into! what was an innocent effort to be more "green" has turned into a full blown addiction!)

She is sooo sweet. love me some brahmas!

Thanks. I'll pass that along to Thor. He's been feeling a bit sad lately cuz he's no longer the only roo on the farm.

Morgan, here is the only decent pic I've ever seen of turkens on the net:

Hey Kalie--- any of the other girls squatting yet? In the nest boxes at all? Glad to hear about Monica and hope you get eggs from the others soon
