    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I would absolutely love to chain link fence my entire yard. Sadly after being here for 23 years I can tell you 100% chain-link fencing is not a option. At some point each year, many times several times in the spring there is flash flooding and my entire back yard turns into a lake. We are...

    I've admired D'uccles for awhile now. Millie Fleur D'uccles have always been on my wish list. Serama's they are just too cute for their own good. Their squeaky little crows, yes I can imagine a coop full of serama roos. That said, I LOVE my big girls. Marans, Orps, Barred Rocks, Sussex, Brahma...

    Not by going by that picture. I think what is giving you pause is the color right? Think about it, that angle and with the sunlight it is going to make even the palest comb brighten up. Speckeled suspects also get a fairly decent sized comb and wattles as far as hens go. Roosters get a even...

    As many of you are aware due to issues I no longer free range full time. I have started in the last week letting the ladies out for a hour. During that hour I am right there with them along with CeeCee. To put them back up I am saving feeding them till the very end. Shake that coffee can to get...

    I saw there was some discussion several pages back about "satin" silkies. I believe the most common mix to produce satins is to breed a silkie to a bantam cochin. Similar size and body shape underneath all that fluff. I had my own satins, and I still have 1 left. My satins were silkie x BCM...

    Shrimp update. I just spotted my berried ghost shrimp momma. She has not released her hostages yet. Those eggs, are definitely fertile and close to hatching though.

    I can grow flowers outside. I actually enjoy it and worked in a greenhouse for a few years long ago. I'm enjoying my foray into aquatic plants and doing ok. House plants, no, they die. Well, I can keep a spider plant alive but that is about the extent of it. I had a venus fly trap when I was a...

    I've always enjoyed fish tanks. I always specialized in the boring to some livebearer tanks. My favorite fish are swordtails, followed closely by black mollies. Give me a 30 gallon, and about 6 months and it will be stunning. I had ghost shrimp in the past and like them. I also had them breeding...

    For Pony Sunday I'll also add these 2 pictures. Taking pictures is hard. To get one without a flash I had to be on the opposite side of the room and zoom in. Getting a picture of the shrimp, ha, this one I was trying to do just that. Look down under the fish, best shrimp picture I got and that...

    I may have came off harsh to the dog situation but today I am over dogs once again. Thank god everyone was locked up or it things could have been devastating here, as it is CeeCee is a little sore from her fight. I woke up this morning to CeeCee going ballistic inside the house jumping on the...

    I used to feel that way around dogs and be more forgiving. At this point after dealing with idiot owners who do not care, or try to make amends I no longer feel that way. She needs to be informed though so she can up "her" game in keeping the dog contained. The problem is going to be this dog...

    I am so very very sorry. I truly hate dogs these days. The puncture wounds looked bad when they first happened. She probably had internal injuries that you could not know about. Am I correct in remembering the offending dog was a husky? You need to do a couple things now. First when you are able...

    Oh how cute. First off, any intrusive thoughts you have saying they are all cockerels, get rid of them. Those are girls, and will remain girls until proven otherwise. Now that that first bit is out of the way, congrats you have 2 buffs there. The paler one solid buff no questions. The darker...

    Fish tank update. A week after I got Rosie's guppies and cories, one of the guppies got ick and passed. I apparently did not find it and remove it in time because within 2 days everything got it and died, babies included. So I scrubbed the tank, waited a bit and went for round 2. It has been...

    Marty is black and Georgie is I think Moorehead, or close enough to it. I have Poppet who is a silver partridge. Patsy and Martina and now Bingo the mooreheads. Reba and Lorrie are black partridges. Lucky is a partridge, I thought black at first like Reba and Lorrie, now I see some silvering...

    Congrats on the babies. For me, chipmunk chicks have ended up being partridges. Let the pale one dry and look at it again in the daylight. You said buff was a slight possibility. Maybe, just maybe you have a little buff silkie.

    Can you get some new pictures of Roxy? From what you are describing she sounds almost like Poppet.

    Good evening everyone. Physical therapy is no joke. Today my arm was moved and stretched into positions that has not been possible for 2 years. Gently mind you if you were to believe that word. I also learned something 5 minutes in that the surgeon never told me. Besides the torn tendon I also...

    I so desperately wanted Q to be a pullet. The color change on the comb does not lie. It is getting mulberry colored already at only 3 months old. Q is a cockerel, I have to face facts. I have decided by next spring I need another 10 by 10 kennel, or expand this one and divide it in half or for...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I decided to let Rosie name Q because it is only right. There have been some "accidental" mistakes made, hello Homer, Juice, and Georgina, but she has taken care of the chickens for me since January. She has really stepped up for me on chicken chores, especially when it got crazy. She still...
