    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Lovely photo, what I read were general observations and more of a combination. Chippys comb isn’t bright pink, I see no wattle development either. I am still thinking pullet.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    They really are beautiful lil bits of floof. Mine go out with the SFH’s we do have rural property but we also have lots of hiding spots and a huge murder of crows that legit help out. All my chickens listen to the warnings and dash for cover when they hear it. I have seen them drive hawks away...

    Swedish flowers are supposedly long lived as well. I will keep my fingers crossed for that being true for all of them.

    I politely disagree, you can and should chicken sit for while, especially with the chicks. They grow up to darn fast 💨 They are absolutely adorable 🥰 mama is doing a wonderful job too!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I went and took a good look at speckled Sussex pullets vs young Roos. The boys tend to develop fairly early, very often they feather in with a white breast, the girls do not. Combs come in early both boys and pullets. Wattles seem to generally pop early on the boys. So far my guess is she is the...

    So adorable, they all are precious and I am so glad all this went well. Your beautiful girl is doing a great job with these little ones.

    Omg they are so cute! The Marans are too. I know you plan on not keeping all or most of these sweeties but I am so glad you got to raise some this summer. Chicks are so much fun 🤩

    Twofer Tuesday Nyx and Pebble - yup he is still being a not so sweet rooster. Lucky he is cute and not particularly scary. Even the kids aren’t the slightest bit intimidated. Thyme keeps checking him for his more obnoxious behavior as do the bigger girls. At some point I hope he gets the idea...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Integration time has arrived - The little bantams have moved out to coop two days ago. I grabbed the wire crate our puppy outgrew and put up cardboard barrier that lets the chicks have a small spot where the big kids can’t bother them. Set up food and water right outside of it. So it is...

    It’s definitely a project color. This is the hen example photo Meyers has on its website. I see that with these guys, they both have pretty clear black and white stripes. But Roxy has always looked quite different. I thought maybe she would not be cuckoo at all and end up feathering out blue...

    I got some close up pics of Roxy last evening. She must be a blue cuckoo. I definitely see white feathers in there.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Me too! I am hoping they will flock with the silkies for the most part. They are slower like the silkies but they can see(no head floof) so maybe they will give the silkies a heads up? I know we can only guess and try but that’s my hope anyway. I brought the chickens out in a crate the other...
