    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Look at the saddle feathers. They're old enough that the pointy cascade is showing. The other is, I think, a moulting tail feather as most of the rest are growing in under it. That one's a pullet.

    Frequently yes. In this case....he'd been pecking at the ground around it, looking for choice things for Havoc, I think, so it was a single swipe down rather than the wipe each side. Like the dust bathing beak scrape

    Here's a different pair for you Right after. He scraped my shoe with his beak: hey! Move! Havoc wants something there! (No peck, firm enough to feel, gentle enough a child wouldn't freak unless just because he touched)

    Most of these are iffy, but the video imbeds for what they sound like are fascinating...and a few are very viable as names if you want to stick with the instrument theme (Ocarina, Janzen for the inventor of the hydro thing, Erhu...) https://hellomusictheory.com/learn/weird-instruments/ Another...

    All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

    Love the streaks on her breast. And the angle of this pic makes me think the front of her crest won't need a snip. That stance is 100% houdan!

    All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

    But bantam cochin are pretty small. I have a Hamburg roo (says 5 lbs roo, 4 lbs hen, he's not that big and his daughters here are more the 3 pound sopping wet size). Of his 1st 8 offspring, 7 of them kept his size. 1 took the mother's larger size. 2 more offspring the next year, 1 averaged...

    That sounds like a decision for some time next year when you've been able to observe adult behavior and have mostly gotten past the idiot phase.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I love the diverse and similar aspects of everyone here! Music has such a range and brings out such fun and different reactions! Cockerel taxthis is Hawthorne. At 10 weeks, he's about as tall as Storm, my lead hen who's a cuckoo marans x cream legbar x blue laced wyandotte. He's also a chunky boy.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Shad's ratio is something like 3-5 per roo, but that's ranging. My set up is similar except I have 1 large coop, not a series of small coops for individual groups. I don't know of that's the reason for the fluidity between hens (A, B, and C go off together with roo 1. F and G join them. B...
