Spitzhaubens

[gimmie birdies]

This is Fraulein. See how gentle she looks?

Below is Kato. She likes to attack me, so I named her after the butler from the Pink Panther movie, that would attack Inspector Cluso.

I also set some SS and GS eggs. From a diff farm.
I was at the N40 yesterday they had spitz chicks but they all looked ready to drop.

My Spitz hens are all mellow and timid. I tend to think of them as less intelligent than the others but maybe it’s just that they aren’t so intense, so fervent. Maybe they have a different philosophy.

I wish mine were. You look at mine and they scream in terror and run away. Mine are schizos.

One of our Sprights just hatched out a chick, our first Spitzhauben of 2021! I only gave her 2 eggs since she’s inexperienced, the 2nd egg quit. So it will be one spoiled baby.

Beldar, the rooster, is passing out cigars.....

I have one trying (and currently really kinda failing ) to brood. Hatched 4 mixes though. 1 or 2 with tlfreathered legs, 2 with noticeable crests, 1 more possibly and 1 or 2, maybe 3 with muffs

Look at this comb

Mama Moonshine the Sebright, age 4, seemed broody so I gave her 3 eggs. It looks like she has abandoned them, this is day 3. She has always been such a compulsive broody, but maybe she’s over that. That’s okay to retire, we won’t worry about those eggs. (I have 6 in an incubator).
