Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Wow beautiful colouring what breed is that? Oh don’t tell me I’ll just go out and get one …

Ok tell me…

If I remember correctly those would be Speckled Sussex. Those and Jubilee Orpingtons which BY Bob has are on my eventual wish list.

I didn't know that was how to set a bird's wing. Very good to know.
I hope Alex can do that for poor Dakota.

Here found this:

Just what I would do

I use hockey tape

I believe Speckled Sussex are spotted/spangled like that, but also jubilee orpingtons....if that is what you were asking

SHRA: Tax

Will a drapey bottomed Roo:

Or a preening chickie:

Pay the bill?

EDIT: @Ponypoor Notice how long his drapey saddle feathers are??

 

[RoyalChick]

Oh dear. I have created a monster.
She is perfectly capable of delicately taking a raisin from my fingers. But when there is no raisin she goes for the fingers instead.

Security Breach

We had a security incident last night. I had to implement my IRT, Incident Response Team. Someone breached the fence in the grassy area where the Rascals are roaming. Before opening the spoiler below I want you to post your guess as to who breached my flimsy barrier.

Here is the list of possibilities.

• Glynda
• Lady Featherington
• Gucci
• Aurora
• Phyllis
• Sydney
• Betty
• Éowyn

And no reading ahead to see everyone commenting on it!

Spoiler: Breaking Barriers

Lady Featherington breached the walls the times last night. The first time she flew over, Aurora was about. She basically flew straight up and straight down like a little helicopter. This video covers that time.

As you can see, Aurora was completely unconcerned. Betty even came out from under the big coop and I thought for certain there would be an issue.

No response there either.

The second time she tried to land in my lap. She hit my legs but was just a bit short and my legs got all scratched up as she struggled to fly her way the rest of the way up.

The third time she just flew to the top of the wire and tried to roost. Here she is roosted on chicken wire.

I have not opened the spoiler yet. I have a feeling Aurora felt it was time to introduce herself to the Rascals.

Well, the girls I posted are speckled sussex. Same feather pattern as Bob's jubilee orpington, but different breeds (haven't done a breed comparison to find out the difference).... Time To go research...
