Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Depends upon the roos and the housing situation.

My roosters are growing together but Hades is the dominant one.

OMG! I knew something was coming because your first video was labelled Part 1, but I was sure it was going to be chickens grabbing your toast!
So scary.
Very glad everyone is OK.

Oh that hawk was FAST! Holy Dinah! just like those fighter jets - swoooosh, zoooom, and it twisted away at the last moment. And was gone! I MEAN SO FAST! and its wings were steady, and it was so trim and amazing really! Didn't flap once - just swooped in, down and twisted back up so fast.

But it so freaked me out. I really need to get the Hen Run covered - but until I can get a project making better moolah that will have to wait. So they are all inside for the time being.

Oh my chicks
How did I have the strength (stupidity?) not to drive straight there and grab you.
They are gorgeous of course!

Im in NC are they close! j/k

My roosters are growing together but Hades is the dominant one.

I had to roosterlets grow up together, once they reached about 20 weeks they were at each others throats - it was a fight to the death between them. Both were bleeding and battered. I ended up locking one in a stall during the daytime, I alternated who was in the stall.

And they terrorized my hens, pretty much assaulting them, Pangoo would chase them off (daddy roo), when he saw them. But it was pandemonium with them. Even Pangoo was a terror, very aggressive. I was very worried when I got Mr P, but I gave him a chance and he has been SPLENDID.

He is quiet, respectful, and the hens like him. Other than him not seeing that hawk and warning the gals today he has been wonderful. I don't blame him for not seeing the hawk.

And he is just so darn funny looking with his punk rock do

It’s obvious that Hades is the dominant rooster he jumped in the run full force and put all the big hens in their place. Then he ate and got some water and watches over the smaller girls.

Is he a Frizzle?

He sure looks like he is a Frizzle

He was a surprise chick. I believe he is a barred rock.

Everytime I watch the chickens I get tired.

You can still have them and one of their sisters:
(There is one more, but I couldn't get her to stand still long enough for a pic) She looks similar to the second one, but with more grey undertones.

My fav. is the last one. Pretty black 'lacing' on her reddish feathers, and a cute buffish chest.

Are goats allowed on Sundays?

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing - loved it!

They do that in Calgary also. I am surprised here in Ontario they don't use them in Toronto to help clear brush and weeds....

Yes he is a barred rock - but notice his feathers are fluffy and seem to be curled? Is he like the other chicks with his feathers?
