    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I have a sick chick, hock wobbling and cheeping pitifully. Brought it up to the house for some selenium gel mixed with canned cat food. Had to go catch a friend to sleep with on the porch tonight. I'll cover them with a blanket to help with heat. Daughter has named it Nini (nee-nee?) Both feet...

    I can tell it apart because it has a white patch on the throat, yep it was being a butt again this morning!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I got a full dozen eggs yesterday. The flock complaining because kiddo and I were out on the porch. They think the back porch should be for birds. Momma Delft. She's trying her best but one of the chicks is not very cooperative.

    Brainiac looking very lovely today. Hubby and I are discussing giving them more...regal names. Megamind changed his mind about being out in the chilly air and put himself in a corner. We're workshopping Louis and Vuitton, or Lamborghini and Ferrari/Bugatti

    I'm getting around 11 eggs a day here, so I have plenty to share if anyone nearby needs some. 😆

    Kiddos on the porch. :3 Integration is...well it's going haha. They're impossible to get in the pen at night so everyone just gets to tough it out I guess. My 6 new run dwellers slept in the ivory coop last night. So we will take apart the triangular quarantine coop and scrap it, it's falling...

    Sweet Delft has 4 adorable babies. I think it's safe to say Riddick is a fertile rooster. There was a 5th that died during hatching. I accidentally dropped it when taking it out of the nest and my dog ate it. :eek: Not a shred of guilt in his furry body. Her nests are opened up to the flock...

    Delft with her 4 babies, right before I opened the box back up. Her sisters came to say hello first and I gave them all privacy. I now have 11 bales of straw, hopefully that will last me until next year. I need to rake up and collect pine straw as well, and figure out a way to compact it for...

    @Ponypoor The boys are pretty obvious in my opinion. They'll have a pad above the beak that will sprout the horns eventually, and by 10 weeks they should be red and have wattles. With that hooked beak it's fairly easy to see where the comb will grow! At least it is for me. I'll try to get pics...

    Most of the chicklets went to the integration pen to sleep in safety from the bigs. Not the legbars. Leave it to a leg to want to be a big bird early.

    Wouldn't that be beautiful? I can tell which kid is her egg because it has fuzzy legs. I hope hope hope it's a girl and she has her mother's beauty (and father's wonderful fibro!)

    Delft has 4 little babies. One has furry legs, definitely the egg she laid. She was content to let me pick up and inspect each baby. She is still sitting on the last egg, I'll give it the day to start doing something.

    The blue egg is pipped, there doesn't seem to be much coming from Ethels egg right now. But we can definitely tell who is the father of these kiddos!!!
