About Poka_Doodle

[Poka_Doodle]

I have joined recently, from BYC. I love my chickens and horses, we have 13 chickens and 2 horses, along with 2 barn cats and a dog. I chose my BYH name because of my old rooster, Poka. He got his name from his early crows, and then a bit later, I started calling him Poka Doodle as his crowing progressed. When I would take him into the barn at night in the fall he would freak out and start saying his name a lot. I miss those days, I can't even remember how it sounded anymore. Poka passed away in May due to heart problems, the same day I won the cake decorating contest. Gone from earth, never from heart and mind. The day Poka went was a great day, he got peace that was needed and I won the cake decorating contest.
My real name is Jane, although my nickname is Rubber Ducky, that is for girl scouts. I am a young girl in Colorado, so I have had enough news about us. I remember the last time I was on BYC for more than an hour after a while being gone a good friend said that he had heard about Colorado on the news, I jokingly said, what part of it, because thats very true, we are in the news a lot.
Anyways thats all for now, I will post more later

Wow, that is a suprise how long our number stayed CLOSE to the same. On Halloween my number of chickens became 12. Later in July I won Showmanship, that same day one of my barn cats lost his life to feline leukima but at the start of October we got a kitten.

Chicken math never fails. And I see you practice kitty math too!

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Well, if we talk about chicken math, it did fail. I didn't get extra, I lost one. And Kitty math, it was my Dad's choice to foster kittens and after Pan Luekipinia got 6 of them, we just had to keep the remaining one

Wow. So much has changed in the year and a half since I wrote that.

Now I have thirty chickens, am into riding, think Poka was the best rooster I'll have ever owned, and am a big skier.

It's been just over two years since Poka died. Hard to believe how time flies. Seems like yesterday he and his sister were cuddling each night. His memory stays with his only living sibling.


Funny that while I write this, I'm listening to "if heaven weren't so far away"

There are those special animals that find a way into our heart, where they live forever.
