    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Poor things, and poor mama and papa robin. See if anyone comes back to use that spot again this season or next year. Might be worth it to build something there, like a birdhouse or a hardware cloth cage, so predators can't get to it so easy!

    Favorite Genre Of Music?

    I love music in general! Reggae is great! So relaxing and fun and often with a powerful message. My favorite genre is rock/metal and subgenres, but I genuinely love so much stuff. (Old) country, rap, hip hop, r&b, grunge, (old) pop, folk... I'm probably forgetting some but that's the gist 😆

    We'll see! I'll message you within the next few weeks when I have a better idea of whether any family things will be going on that day. Thank you for the offer!

    Deathlayer gender

    Pictures of the whole bird without your hands would help. That way we can see all identifying features (comb and wattles, legs, saddle and hackle feathers) 😊 But from what I can tell, this does look like a pullet! I don't know when deathlayers start to show differences in sex, though. Some...

    It's only a very hesitant maybe so if you do need to cull him, don't worry about it. I'd snatch him up in a heartbeat though, believe me! He's a beauty!!

    Dad agrees that Slowpoke is "cool looking". He said MAYBE once we get the new coop built we could get a rooster. Baby steps :lau

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I almost messaged you last night, to STAY SAFE! That wall of wind on the lakeshore was CRAZY! All we got here was a downpour and nonstop lightning. Hardly any wind. Lots of tornados touched down on the west side of Michigan but nothing higher than F1, I believe. I was watching the Michigan Storm...

    Premature chicks

    Yay! I'm so glad! Good luck, little guys! A lot of wrens are silly buggers who will nest just about anywhere. Could be you just never noticed it because it was so well hidden in plain sight!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hmm, when introducing a young cockerel to a new flock, it's best that he has older hens to put him in his place. I've read that older = years, not months. So, say I manage to convince my dad to agree to a roo, sometime within the next few months. My girls will be a year old at the beginning of...

    Premature chicks

    These are wild hatchlings, as others have said. PLEASE follow @WoDia and @MGG 's advice if you truly want to help these chicks. Being stubborn about it will only kill them. They will freeze or overheat or starve to death if you don't find somebody to care for them, whether that's their parent(s)...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    A little bit ago, Gytha bit Sybil, TWICE! Well that was just unacceptable! Sybil put her back in her place by grabbing her by the neck, jumping up and kicking her away while pulling her neck feathers. After that they joined the rest and went scratching around harmoniously. I wonder if Gytha is...
