Zane and Shadow...Roommates? (Cute Pic, post #79)

Yup they are going out Thursday...no rain in the forecast. I have already informed the two group leaders (Severus and Thor)....they are making ready the groups for deployment to the garden at exactly 7:15 am Thursday morning. *saluting* nite nite I need more sleep. hahahaha

As non-Delaware folks can see, this breed is full of personality (or something, anyway, LOL). They are highly entertaining and friendly. Several of hens beg to be picked up, especially Ellie and Georgie. Those two are tag-team snugglers! People who think chickens are smelly, dirty, nasty, etc, etc, would change their minds quickly around my girls.

Cynthia, and around your boys, too! You whole place would change people into chicken lovers.

That's the diabolical plan, Beth! I do adore my boys, too. Isaac is exemplary as a flock rooster and though he is johnny-on-the-spot when his girls yell (you should see him speed across the property to come to their rescue), he seems to understand that we will not hurt them, even when one is showing her behind by yelling and struggling when we pick them up. He just watches calmly. I like that. Shows intelligence. Suede is also like that. Dutch usually is, too, except on occasion with me. He doesn't do anything, just acts very nervous and unsettled when we are doing something with a screaming hen. Most of them beg to be picked up, but on occasion, one will protest, like crazy Nora.

Gawds you ladies are hilarious!! I love checking BYC first thing in the morning! It sets the tone for the whole dang day!

OK, I'd better get out of here before I get distracted by 30 new threads and end up spending another 3 hours in front of the monitor!

 

[joletabey]

Cynthia, you are just chock full of diabolical chicken plans!! And I am glad- you hooked me in, for sure! I had originally planned to to get a few of this and that for layers/pets and now you have me into breeding Heritage Dels and you slipped in that blue Orpington so now I also just HAVE to have a little sideline going there!!!! I'm happily addicted!

Serrin, birds of a feather flock together? It's NICE to be crazy in good company!

 

[Cetawin]

Joletabey...she is full of it for sure

she did the same thing to me but in reverse. I wanted Suede eggs...she sent them and threw in 5 Dellie eggs hence the arriveal of Fattie and Cannonball...so she hooked you on blue orps and me on Dellies...she is eeeevvvvvvvvvvil.

 

[speckledhen]

Ok , I'm guilty! (slinks off in shame.....yeah, right, LOL) But, you can't know what you love till you have some experience with it. If you hated Delawares, I'd promise not to send anymore of those eggs. Same with BBS Orps.




I knew it would work! hehehehe

Okay, everyone raise hands who thinks Cynthia's new under-title statement should say "Diabolical Chicken Lover".

 

[speckledhen]

Hahaha! You'd have to run that one by the Staff since my title was bestowed upon me by Terrie.


Cetawin, I haven't given Suede his pancake yet. We have had a full day of errands, getting ready for tomorrow's snowfall, etc, etc. DH is sacked out on the couch after cutting and splitting wood to last us a few days. I hope that we can trim the big guy's spurs tomorrow and give him his special goodie. Hope you got the book!
