Just thought Id pop in and give you all the News! My Sweet little Frizzle "Spanky" has become an adult!! Yep! Hes crowing as of yesterday morning! Such a silly little crow but hes practicing!
I will keep him only as a pet and Show bird! The Northeast Georgia bantam club will be having a show January 15 , and I hope to attend. First I will get all the info and see if Spanky is show worthy. If he and his Friend Darla qualify I will be showing them this Summer!
Darla is a little young and her "Snowshoes" havent developed well as of yet but we will see! I still think she is a lovely little Cochin! She also needs a good bath in this photo.
They are so cute. Chickens can be very snugly can't they?
I love the juvie crow. I have 2 starting to get their crow on now.
He is darling Eufaula
Eufaula I love the pic's: I'm just finding it difficult to figure out which takes first place, You or the Frizzle. I think it's a three way tie. Great pictures...Hay
Elleisn You are so right! I just have to cuddle and hug them everyday! Spanky's frizzles are sooooo soft , when you stroke them they feel like velvet. He of course just loves the attention.
Donna I wake up now to Spanky's gargle-ey crowing at 5:00 am.
Thank you Hay...as always you are so sweet!
Here they are taking their morning stroll on my leaf and winter strewn porch. I wont let them be out here for too long though, the wind is really kickin and there is talk about a nother winter storm a brewin and snow!
Well...another day and another surprise! I was just getting used to Spanky's silly crow, when I heard him trying out another completely different one, more assertive and LOUD! I got up to check it out and realized that it was not only a different crow but( Oh my) another bird! It seems as if my all white Serama baby girls have turned out to be a pair!
Here they are on the banister and not too happy about the cold air!
The one on the left ( all scrunched down) is " Green Leg" the roo in the making! The little Pullet is " Yellow Foot". Oh well enough for picture taking, back into the house and into their warm cage !
Oh and I must introduce you all to my newest addition! I recieved him as a two week old baby just before Christmas. It had a sibling that didnt make it ,but I have two replacements from the same brood coming soon.
It is a Dark Brahma, looks more like a little owl or hawk to me! I cant tell if it is male or female but I do not think I have ever been around a more a vocal baby than this one! It sings chirps and warbles continiously. Even while sleeping it will softly warble every out going breath.
It looks so dangerously like a hawk that it would scare most people, but dont let the huge wings fool you! It is so gentle and loves to be held . It actually follows my little Chihuahua around and gets into his bed with him!
Here is his favorite Night night!
Okay please forgive me!!! I just had to show off one of my Christmas presents!!!!
Cool!
What a fun thread! Thank you so much for all the pictures! You are a beautiful woman, and those babiez are just sooo lucky. :) How fun! Love that lil Brahma.. So cool that you have a Serama pair. :)
What do ya think of my frizzle?He thinks he is big stuff in with all the big girls,he chases them all the time he knows he is a rooster now and is acting like a bad teenage boy,
Green he is one good looking stud. I think the two frizzles should be introduced to one another...They are really very cute to look at...I can just see a bright future for both of them...
Awwwwwww Green he is so , so, Studly! (heehee) if I can say that!!!! He is just a little man isnt he!! I know he has to be the king of the Coop with his girls!!
Haystack, You can already bet that they are definitely two lucky pampered birds! Oh it would be so nice if they could meet each other and Green and I too! Wouldnt it be the nicest thing if everyone of us Chicken Parents could have a "Chicken Round up"!!! oooooooh my!
I agree Eufaula, just one big get together would be so much fun....It's not so expensive to dream at least...Hay
Oh stop it, Eufaula! He is such a doll and now Fizzles are on my want list! Love the pic of him sitting on your shoulder, he has you well trained LOL. Looks like Santa was good to you too!
