For new people to the Poultry Fancy

So y'all want to use short hand eh? Here's poultry shorthand (for chickens).

C - Cock
H - Hen
P - Pullet
K - Cockerel.

This is the correct terminology. It's not used a lot but it's correct

I wish I could but Bradley doesn't like to be cuddled. However, when he is being sweet, he will stand quietly and will let me rub his wattles.

 wattles.

Oh, sometimes when I am feeding my buff orpington rooster by hand, with dandelion greens for example and (I feed the others at the same time too), his wattles touch my hand cause they are so long. That is the most incredible feeling, wattles are very soft and feel very nice. I love to feel soft things like that, I am very tactile. Oops, somehow I think I strayed off topic, but was compelled. I am so compelled with things that compel me to be compelled, think I am a compelled person. Have a most wonderful day, CynthiaM.
