I wonder if anybody else has chickens who show off? I must get the video camera out tonight because last night Gwennie was hillarious.

 

First of all, she sussed out the new log we'd put in the run, and was just running round doing laps of the run, and showing how she could jump over the log, and then how if you perch on a certain place you can make it rock like a see-saw which she seemed to like.

 

Then when they were going to bed, she did her usual thing of showing the rest of the chooks the way up the ladder. But when they'd all got into the Cube, and I thought they'd gone to bed, Gwennie came out again, and almost did a dance - up and down the ladder, doing pirouettes on the rungs, and seeing how far up she could fly and land. It was extremely funny. It went on for a few minutes before she settled down in the Cube for the night.

 

I'd swear she was either showing off to us, or showing the others how it is really done. Sort of like a kid who can do tricks on a BMX showing off to his mates who have only just learned to ride without stabilisers

 

Are all chickens show-offs? Or has Gwennie just got the X-factor

[Kit]

definitely the X factor...much better than those twins!

[chick wiggle]

Definately a show off! they do all have their own very different personalitys, hilarious arnt they

[Chunky_Monkey]

My Wyandotte, Guinevere, sings. And she is much better than those twins. I think I should enter her into the x factor next year!

[docsquid]

Must be something about the name Gwen (Guinevere can be shortened to Gwen )

Yes, there probably is! We sometimes call her Gwen for short; makes it much easier.

Perhaps we could enter both Gwens - your Gwen could sing and mine could dance. Like you say, better than those twins

I just managed to video tonight's ritual - similar to last night, perhaps not quite so funny (except when all three tried to go up the ladder together), but Gwennie did THREE encores! The battery ran out before the end.

 

All I have to do now is to figure out how to get Sony Camcorder stuff up to You Tube!

They would be much better!

 

I should record Guinevere singing sometime. It's quite sweet really.

[CluckyBucks]

Sounds like she is a professional dancer to me Or shes got the X factor... or shes just extrememly cute

Oh yes! That would be lovely.

 

I'm still fiddling with video conversion software, but might have a bit of last night's performance available soon.

I've managed to record Guinevere singing tonight - because I'm a very sad person! I even played the recording to her again and she sang back! I'm not quite sure how to upload sound recordings on here, I'll have a look later.

[Chicken Shirl]

Come on girls we are waiting for the show to begin.

[docsquid]

Sorry. Been too busy supervising their first FR

Gwennie was too tired to put on a show tonight - straight to bed no messing!
