Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

I love your Ol’ Bat Momma Hen she has character

That she does. I wonder though, how many would love her if they were the ones she has tortured and tormented and beat up for years.

Sir Jaffar is perched on my leg. He sure has a sharp keel bone. He’s probably thinking that I have a sharp shin bone !

I had a horse like her.

And now Marty clobbers me, she is broody right now so she is sitting in her nest- I am safe for a couple weeks ha!

It’s good to get them interested early. Soon she will be big enough to help with chorse

How old are your chooks now?

Yes she helps with feeding them! She loves going "come get some scratchies!"
I've had them 13 weeks so Kasumi is 14 weeks, Ash 14.5-15 weeks, and I believe Shep and Liara are 16 weeks. They were all different ages but the store had the older ones all marked down since they had been there for more than a week. Not sure about the two silkies, my friend said she hatched them during the late spring or summer, she couldn't recall. I was told when I bought my chicks I could expect eggs around Christmas IF they lay before spring.

I was just thinking about how I wanted you to be online Ponypoor! I was thinking about tagging you and saying that we need you online because the thread is moving slowly.

Pastels huge spurs! They are sharp too. I might need to file them down.

I am on line just busy doing things, and my arm is sore typing/texting.

Good morning y'all! Can y'all remind me of the days that are for posting pictures such as Pony Sunday? It's been a while so I forgot.

Monday - mugs Monday (show us you beautiful ‘mugs’ - your chooks head photos)

Yes I would say look for eggs around week 20, or more likely in the spring. I am surprised my chicks are laying I figured they would wait till spring.

 

[ChicoryBlue]

Yeah. I did not manage to pull it out.

They were doing fine, perfectly dignified, until you guys came along!

Introducing the current residents of Fluffy Butt Acres

As you can see from the front of the coop, we currently have 4 residents. Patsy, Lilly, Hattie & Jabber.

Patsy & Lilly have been here the longest and we ar enot really certain what kind of birds they are but they are likely Black Sex Links. Hattie and Jabber have just joined the flock this summer as they were chicks we got back in April. Here are their individual photos.

Patsy
She is our alpha hen and is extremely friendly. While not a big fan of being picked up she comes right up to you and will talk and visit.

Lilly is currently #2 in the pecking order and intends to stay there. She has become our little enforcer and she defends the flock from such terrors as squirrels, rabbits, doves, and most importantly, ducks.

More to come on our newbies.

Oh! Love the name btw. But I think Patsy and Lily are 100% black stars! I have two and they are so pretty!

Last March 2023, today is just as bad, yet I still have a couple of brave hearty youngsters who are out in the slushy rain/snow mix

Butterscotch says she is a tough chook

Is Butterscotch a type of legbar? She’s got a nice combination of comb, wattles and pretty ears plus snazzy poof. The topknot doesn’t appear to be in the way of her vision either.
