Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Wow your girls are very determined! Just tell her to be patient and she can have chicks in the Spring

I can’t wait to see her with chicks

I'm beginning to think this is payback for all those months of calling her a "broken" silkie. Chiquita it is winter, can I please have my broken girl back.

Am I the only one who knows how to raise snuggly chickens? This is how I start with!:

I didn't manage to get drinking pictures today, so here are two from sunday and monday of Blanche who escaped the hawk.
She's a bit of a mess still from the attack and I think the stress got her molting, if that's possible.
She's a brave little thing- she didn't hesitate to go outside and under the laurel tree where the hawk got to her. On the second picture you can see some of the pecks on her eyes and ears. I'm a bit worried that she still seems in pain even though they were very superficial and have healed well, I hope there wasn't internal damage.

She's the craziest smallest of our ex-batt, and she has already made it through quite a few issues, I would be very happy if she heals up.
My partner finds it ironic that this hawk that will eat chicken's brain, got our one hen that doesn't have a brain !

Hahaha had to chuckle at you asking “why are you biting me” or half expected a reply of “where’s the meal worms?”

They sure have grown up, not babies any mor

I love my chicks. I was gonna keep them in my office but those buttheads are knocking things over and making a mess. Im going to try to move them to the outdoor coop tonight or tomorrow night (with heat). They are just too big to have all 5 in the house.

Hey Marie, did you know that the nuclear bomb named “fat man” built by the United States was named after Winston Churchill?
