Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

What?! OK well better take them up to my sisters then

Not nice! Found a mouse in the bathroom this morning, unable to get out with the door closed. Was able to get Castor in there (he didn't like the fan connected to the light) and scare the mouse out where if caught his attention. One more gone....and guaranteed to not return.

I love the colour - what would you call it? it looks like a barred pattern - lovely!

This is the color of 4 week old female Bielefelders. I'm sure it has a proper name... I just call it "4 week old female Bielefelder" color.

I have four chicks. Two are reddish like Sunny, and the other two are more dun/greyish. Same barring pattern.

Oh, that's interesting about the greyish colouring! I have been trying to figure out if Viola is a Bielefelder, but have been confused by the grey. Do your grey ones look anything like Viola?

I hope Petunia stays a Petunia, and isn't a Peter!

Oh, no, Petunia's already laid her first egg. No doubt she is a Petunia

Good Castor! Good moggy!

Oh she is turning out to be a lovely little girl

Looks like they are out and about learning chickeny things like killing bugs

Looking at the chicks on my right leg, the one in front is one of the dun/grey ones (named Squeak) and the one farthest away is Sunny, one of the redder ones. You can see the difference.

Button is a Blue Australorp, so she's automatically grey.

Button looks like my Blueberry The Complainer. He is grey like that. And he COMPLAINS like the end of his life's near.
