Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ValarieF]

Oh baby chickies I already called one Cottonball so I guess that may turn out to be her name lol. So soft!

Final chick count on Bunny is 4 and she has them out and about. She hatched out 5 but over night she had a black one pass. The other 4 are very feisty. I did call at hatch one of hers blue, I was wrong, it fluffed up to be brown. The biggest surprise was her final chick to hatch, a butter egg. I have another white fluffy feet Butter baby. Please everyone, lets pray and hope that one is a girl, it will be my keeper. Here are a few pictures of them.

Raven currently has 5. She is still on the nest with 2 more eggs. I need to candle the other 2 as I do not think they are any good. I got a few pictures of hers as well. I moved them all over to Bunny's box for their pictures.

Painful isn’t fun! Sorry

And now I can't use Motrin so I gotta stop at Walgreens or dollar general on the way home to get some tylenol.

Im loaded: Diclofenac Sodium cream, muscle relaxer and ice pack and still in pain.

It was definitely a Caturday here. We spent the morning introducing the cats to the birds. It went quite well no one was injured or even chased. Though I would not remotely trust either of our tough and tumble barn cats with the chickens alone.

They are one of my main concerns once the flock is full grown and ready to free range. We shall see as my cats are full grown accomplished hunters who take out mice, voles, fish, and even a squirrel or two and thats just what I know about. They are mainly outdoor kitties so I have my doubts if it can work but maybe with these supervised visits idk . The tweens are entirely unconcerned about the cats presence which worries me a great deal. If anyone has experience with this Id love to hear about it

The dark one....does it have feathered feet? If so, I'm thinking dark brahma based upon the subtle striping. If not, what kind of comb does it have?
