My chickens are being born right now

[LadyArowana]

Sorry to drag this vaguely back on topic, but our first calf was born yesterday when no one was looking:

Right - you can go back to discussing orange automobiles now.

She is much more beautiful than an orange car, well, maybe not a Lamborghini or Veyron, but everything else.

She's absolutely adorable Robin, what a beauty! ( How lovely that you can breed from her too)

The Calf

You may have seen, in road or street
At times, when passing by,
A creature with bewildered bleat
Behind a milcher's tail, whose feet
Went pit-pat. That was I.

Whether we are of Devon kind,
Shorthorns, or Herefords,
We are in general of one mind
That in the human race we find
Our masters and our lords.

When grown up (if they let me live)
And in a dairy-home,
I may less wonder and misgive
Than now, and get contemplative,
And never wish to roam.

And in some fair stream, taking sips,
May stand through summer noons,
With water dribbling from my lips
And rising halfway to my hips,
And babbling pleasant tunes.

We're now looking for Welsh girls names beginning with a C.

Would Chloe suit, as it sounds very vaguely like "llo", if you narrow your eyes a bit?

We went with Carys in the end, and then totally unbenkownst to me (and I'm sticking to the story with SWMBO :wink: ) the local farmer delivered two more girl calves to me a few days later who we named Deryn and Eirion.

When will we get a Fflergant or a Fychan we can eat?

 

[JoceAndChris]

Gorgeous, lyrical names. And the implication is that you're expanding your farming activities without your wife's say-so? Very naughty; I'd do the same. :lol:

We went with Carys in the end

Well, lucky you.
