Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Well, I'm not sure, exactly. I do call it a pea comb...but she is half DC and half BR. So, it is close to a pea comb, but a little 'fuller; if you will.

Rose comb?

Lets see:
one Rooster
FBCM - Brownie
Azure- Snicker and Doodle
Moss- Flour, Sugar, Powder
Wellsummer- Ginger
Wellsummer or Sage (still unsure)- Cinnamon
Amerucana - Peanut Butter
Silverudds Blue - Biscotti

Therefore only 8 chickens actually exist, I think Math isn’t my strong suit.

What breed is the rooster? FBCM? If so, you have 3. First of egg color and breed don't count...so R and Dark Egg (FBCM) each don't count, and I'm decreeing that Cinnamon is a Sage Egger.. (If she is a welsummer, then you have 4)

I think I have the rules correct. I haven't read the post yet...but I AM sure you do NOT have 8 chickens - you better get some more!

Not me though. I want a lavender orpington but the Borough says I can't have more than 4. Didn't I mention that roosters are prohibited?

Most places here in town allow only 3 hens and no roosters.

I live in the country so we can have as many as we want

One day you will get your Lavender Orpington - I am sure of it

Mine have been know to come to the back door of the human coop and knock on our door to let us know they were locked out of their coop by the auto door.

Let me see if I can find that story........

That’s awesome

Well, with this group it doesn’t take all that much lol any excuse for more chickens is a good one!! Enablers one and all especially if means future chick pics

Yup! We are all baby bird brains!

I wish this little one would go broody again (she does it well)

I bet she would be an awesome mama.

Next time though if it’s too hot just keep her inside all the time that way you can take photos throughout the day!

I got 28 but I couldn’t remember if Squirrel is a boy or girl. Also, there are only two silkies, and one is a rooster. If there are just three roosters, Branch counts. So do we count the silkie hen Chiquita by herself or as one of two? Holy Dinah, math is hard!

Squirrel is a hen. She is the first BCM x Buff orp cross. Now for the boys. We have Bubba, Branch and Twig. They stay so somehow we have to throw their numbers in there...maybe. Now in the chicks that are not staying, I have 10 for sure roosters...none are staying so they absolutely do not count. Momma Hens 4 are only 2 weeks old, too young yet to sex. That being said....it is me, and it is momma hen...there will be boys.

Every third Roo doesn’t count

Squirrel is a tough one…. But I stand by my original number of 3 - you need more chickens!
