Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Glad that worked.
These three have a choice of 5 roosts. One roost is 10’ long but they all crowd together.

Yup. Of course they do.

I've been catching up on the Omlet coop Facebook page, how folks configure the coops and runs, etc. Well, some people have two coops because they really hold 5-6 standard chickens comfortably, sometimes more depending, and they might have 12 or more, and try training the chickens to use both coops, but come roosting time they all squeeze in to just one.

Oddly enough Dotties comb is very dark pink? 9 weeks arent they still too young

Pea comb like rose can pink early, but if it's grown (I went back and looked at pics on head) then odds on Dottie needing a name change.....increasing....especially if comb is very dark pink/borderline red....

theres 2 that I saw pink\dark pink whats that mean? Roosters?

Maybe. Straight comb pink...VERY likely. Rose/pea combs....maybe.....with comb growing....likely....wattles present....Yes. no wattles (especially with bearded/pea combs) maybe....

When you take pics, try to get them in natural light, classic mugshots, some walking around, pause to look around whole bird shots (body stance)

I’m managing. It’s hot and I’m fevered sometimes. I have not seen the doctor yet. When I called, they said that it’s best NOT to come in with a fever, or I could go to the emergency center, but it’s my choice. Some doctor huh?

Sorry you’ve been sick, Alex. I hope to read on and learn you’ve improved. It wax very hot here today. I assumed it was hotter where you are and have been hoping your chickens have fared well in the heat.

Why?! I’m not as fast as I can be, but there’s Jaffar, biting my toes again.
There’s Dakota running all over the yard, when she knows that it’s bedtime. I’m exhausted chasing chooks to bed! But the deed is done

Yours don’t just go to bed on their own?

Yea the very top of the comb is more red than anything at the very top. I'll try to get some good pics in the run in the morning when I feed them maybe that's why she didn't eat the corn?

I take pics usually everyday a few days ago and I just noticed I think dottie has a single comb

more when the sun or light comes up it might rain again
