    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Let's head to therapy this morning. I dread it today. Weight restrictions have been lifted from the therapists. Now they can really torture me.

    Come visit anytime, you do not need to bring eggs though. Next spring I can hatch my own polish if I choose. While selling silkie eggs and chicks this season, I've found many people who buy silkie eggs and chicks are also buying polish eggs and chicks. I have 2 different peoples names local to...

    They are definitely on my radar now, especially since my goal for future additions will be bantam sized. Juice and Homer stopped me from even inquiring. Homer is a big boy already but he is still a total sweetheart. Juice is coming around slowly and while he does not look exactly like his daddy...

    Valid points and trust me it was hard to not inquire about him. The problem, he would make 6 roosters. I currently have Davy and Barbosa and young Q the silkies. I also have Homer and Juice who i'm hoping work out and I can keep them. I'm begging them to behave, get along and do not do anything...

    I once again need to stay off facebook, especially since people are listing fall chicks again. Tuesday I log on and what is the first thing I see? A listing for 2 month old calico bantam cochins. I resisted like a good person. This evening I log on and bam, 1 year old gold laced Polish rooster...

    I just found out some very sad news. If you had livestock, especially horses, the best hay supplier in my area was a older gentleman named Riley. He has sold hay and feed for 50+ years. We have always used him. He is also my Kalmbach supplier for my chicken feed. He passed away yesterday. I'm...

    Maybe todays eggs, maybe. I think it is 3 weeks they can store semon. I know when you set up your breeding pens you are supposed to wait 3 weeks before introducing the new boy. 3 weeks is pushing it, but, you might get 1 or 2 chicks. If they would like to try it is not going to hurt anything...

    Fly high big guy. I'm so sorry for his new family. Branch, Drummie and George I'm sure were there to welcome him home. Shorely was a beauty. It seems no matter the variety, a Marans rooster is just a big gentle giant. I'm so sorry for his little boy. Gosh darn it I wish there was not so much...

    No you both come to Kentucky. Then we can have 6,000 chooks and many horses between us all. After all, you cannot beat that KY Bluegrass for your horses.

    For those who may be asking yourselves, "Is it a stupid idea to pick up a single chick with 5 momma's?" Let me answer for you. Yes, yes it is a very stupid idea. I have really left Ducky alone. Only touched him for a few times those first few days at night to make sure he was not getting...

    Yup I just did. I've not scrolled the page in about 2 weeks. I am now and loving a lot of them. Silkies are the perfect "not a real chicken" for his little skits.

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1482069429584545 I know a lot of these affects are AI generated. I cannot help it though, I want a tiny pair of sunglasses and a hat for my silkies.

    I know I sound like a broken record here, but you need a silkie. More importantly, you need a silkie rooster. Jaffar can never be replaced, and for that matter neither can my Branch. From the stories you told of Jaffar I could look at my Branch and say the exact same thing about him. Right...

    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...
