Oooo...What kinds of Wyandottes? Silver Lace? Gold Lace? Black? White? Columbian? Partridge? Buff?

Uh...

Not yet.

I suspect they spend way too much time on rooster porn to be in that kind of shape.

I hadn't thought to pipe them music. Of course, now that we'll be adding the RockStars....but then, I imagine they'll go the vocalist routine, instead of dance. (Chickens, in my experience, tend to be klutzes.) For example, were Emma to go into show business, she would definitely do the Oprah thing.

I wonder if the folks with the cockatoo had thought of a pole to go with the chairback stage? It looks all 'fan dancer' in that footage. Needs a dance pole.

Ivy had a cockatiel when I moved in; Simon by name. Simon actually saved the house one evening. He alerted us to a fire in the next room, which we put out without much problem, but could have been devastating. He was free to fly the house, but spent most of his time on top of his cage in a corner of the dining room. Anyway, Simon was pretty smart, in his way. He could say his name and "is a pretty bird" and when he got wound up, he would scream them in word salads. His favorite was to sit on your shoulder and ride around with you and chatter in your ear while you did household chores.

They looked pretty lacy. Black with silvery specks, I don't know what they are called.

Ah.

Most probably Silver Laced, like this girl:



I have two chicks. They are reputed to be very docile.

Did you have eggs? Did you see them? Can you estimate size with any accuracy? Brown eggs, right?

[Watser?]

Hehe, I didn't notice, they were in the carbonara.

I think the shells were brown though, now that I think about it. And yeah, they looked like that but more black and less lace.
