    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Friend of mine has mama, who is mostly a barn cat. Bijou and Castor are outside kitties, with a house on the patio filled with a queen-sized comforter for a bed. The patio is the roof of my cold storage room with a heat lamp bulb to keep it from freezing.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Agreed! Those colored shafts are fascinating to see as the bird moves about. I've had dark shafts in white feathers (usually in splash marked birds) which are also interesting, but the dark feathers around the light shafts I find the most intriguing.

    In a pickle over pullets puzzled over next step

    If he's the same breed, then he's not too big. Roos are larger than hens of the same breed. If he isn't the same breed, check breed stats for roo-hen sizes for both the your pullets and your cockerel. (They're under a year old so they're not hens and roosters until then). If the sizes are...

    Cumulo has similar marks. The feather shaft is gold while the feathery parts are black. The gold around the face is leakage. Not sure on the shaft color.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Happy Friday a trio of cockerel butts. Hawthorne, Jax, and Mortimer stepping through the door. Somehow they got relegated to last into the coop that evening. Wonder if they needed thumping.

    The gas coming off of it as it evaporates. Carbon dioxide? It fills the tunnels (is why you want to block all you can find) and they can't breath. Shra Bftp

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    If she'd growing some more, the calcium may be needed. If she's tasting things, she's learning what nutrients are there for when she needs them. She could be starting to build the calcium stores so she has them when she's ready to lay in a month or two. Meyers says POL is 16-20 weeks, so ...
