I'm in need of being cheered up, folks. Can you post your best (or only) poultry related jokes? Failing that, anything to raise a smile?? :-)19
 
'A husband room his wife to the doctor.
Oh, doctor', he said, 'my wife thinks she's a chicken'.
The doctor gasped, 'That's terrible. How long has she been like that?'
The husband replied, 'Three years'. The doctor was horrified, 'Three years! Why didn't you bring her to me sooner?'
The husband said sheepishly, 'Because we needed the eggs.'

Q. Is It Okay To Eat Fried Chicken With Your Fingers?
A. No, The Fingers Should Be Eaten Separately
 
Not very good with jokes Icemaiden. But this may make you smile.

I rang up this morning to enquire about a Blue Laced Wyandotte cockerel (lost Merlin yesterday). The lady said she had just one but couldn't remember how old he was because she has so many birds and her memory fails her. Apparently he is a good example, but some of his tail feathers are a bit tatty. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because THE MICE HAVE EATEN THEM". I am told it is a big problem with ground level coops here. The mice get in at night and nibble the birds feathers while they sleep, so getting and keeping birds ready for show is a bit problematic. Fortunately all our coops are well off the ground and hopefully impregnable to mice anyway.
 
Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned Merlin Marigold? I was trying to cheer up Icemaiden but have probably failed dismally.

Are you thinking along the lines of Paul O'Grady? That's the only bit of his Sunday Radio programme I find depressing -that's usually when I switch off or go into the shed for a smoke and a beer.
 
Sorry to hear about Merlin Chris.

Marigold, why don't you post a picture of Poppy? She should cheer everyone up.
 
OK, here she is - ten-week-old Norfolk Terrier (or Norfolk Terrorist would be more appropriate where the hens- and my slippers- are concerned.)

She's certainly keeping us cheerful, dear little girl, doing well with what all the American videos on puppy training call 'going to the bathroom' and enchanting all our many visitors.

Am starting a new thread for animal friends who have died, including our dear little Trog, which I hope people will like to use when the occasion arises.

No worries Chris; sorry to hear about Merlin; I presume that he's gone to meet Trog, rather than just disappearing as my Energiser did?
You have at least put my girls' latest outbreak of feather pecking into context. Perhaps your supplier might find trackerballs in her coops less destructive than mice? ;)
 
Well the tiny little chap has arrived Icemaiden. He's in sick bay at the moment because the torrential rain has stopped me putting a new roof on his quarantine coop. He has no tail at all but is otherwise very healthy, is about 6 months old, crows like a baby frog and will be eaten alive by his girls if we 'just put him in' as recommended. Seems we have the last remaining Wyandottes (Wiandottes called here) with any Utility characteristics. Our birds are far larger than the show strains and far more aggressive. But this little chap was the only Blue Laced Wyandotte cockerel available in the whole of France, according to the National web site. So now we are fighting to keep our strain going and will have to breed from him this year because our girls are getting rather old.

What are 'trackerballs'?

So Poppy will look like the photo of Trog when she grows up?

Very similar - Poppy is at present in her puppy coat and most of the darker hairs will come out at about 16 weeks old, when she will probably be a bit deeper red-brown than Trog.
Poppy's great-great- grandfather was the brother of our first Norfolk, Grub, who was a sort of cousin to Trog, so its nice to keep it in the family. However, Poppy's grandfather arrived from the U.S.A . in a vial of frozen semen, and her grandfather on her Mum's side was a dog the breeder had imported from Sweden, so she has good genetic diversity in her pedigree. The trouble with small dogs that only have litters of 1-3 and are not overbred is ensuring that the gene pool doesn't get too small. The advent of the pet passport has made a lot of difference.

One of Poppy's brothers, Chester, is going to Australia when he's big enough to satisfy the inoculation regulations, via 6 months in Spain with friends of his eventual owners whilst he has his rabies vaccination proved, and then he will only need 2 weeks in quarantine in Australia instead of 6months. Poppy's grandmother was the only Norfolk ever to win Best in Show at Crufts, so I expect Chester will be showed over there. Trog's brother went to Colorado on the lap of a lady who flew to the U.K. to collect him, just after 9.11 when there was such panic about air travel. So people go to great lengths to get one if these lovely little terriers. But our little girl will just enjoy a good terrier life hunting around in hedgerows, chasing cats out of the garden, and learning to live with Marigold and Co. No nonsense poncing around in a show ring!
 
Thanks Tygresek.
While I can't watch YouTube on my pc (not sure if it's our breathtakingly slow internet connection), my sister showed me this clip a few weeks ago at her place, so thanks for the reminder!

A city slicker was driving in the countryside and decided to take a shortcut across a creek. As soon as he entered the water, he sank down about ten feet. An old farmer had to rescue him, and when he got him back on land, he asked, "What were you thinking?" The city slicker looked puzzled. "I don't understand," he said. "The water only came up to the middle of the ducks!"
