Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

You do know that veterinarian medicine is more difficult than a doctorate in human medicine right?

That's because human doctors just take pharmaceuticals word for all their drugs and follow IPA and insurance rules rather than thinking hard like a vet does about what's best for an animal that can't explain where it hurts! Rant over!

@BY Bob take a guess as to what this is.

A Leghorn butt?

Well there is also that they need to learn anatomy and physiology of multiple species not just one!

You're the exception to teenage boy appetites then. (I've raised 3, BTW)View attachment 3841600

Men & boys in general wolf food down, our men friends, my DH, my BIL, SIL -- I raised only one son but he could clean a plate faster than a chicken! He's a married man, 6'4" and 58 yrs old this year and eats faster than our Keiko.

"KEIKO" -- Moorhead Partridge Silkie -- can't fool her, she knows there's fresh pomegranate seeds under the napkin in the bowl

"MORE" Pl-eeee-z !!!

Piglet, you so sweet little one. I want to kiss you right through my iPhone screen! Lovely picture of you.

I really need to read up on Frizzle genetics. I do know crossing Teddy x Henny Penny will produce only satins. What I do not know is if silkie x frizzle is frizzle only or 50 frizzle and 50 silkie. I will have to be careful with the frizzles though on what to keep. If I am not mistaken frizzle x frizzle is a big no no as it produces frazzles which you do not want.

Buckaboo Farm breeds Satins, Showgirls, Frizzled, Bearded and Non-bearded Silkies. I've seen pics of her LACED Satins which are really pretty. She's into genetics if you have any interest in contacting her. The website is fun to peruse w/ many sky and olive eggers, copper marans, D'uccles, etc -- she's NPIP, AI Clean, does DNA-sexing, has online classes, ships hatching eggs/chickens, etc, and here's the website:

These are our Buckaboo Silkies which we special ordered in certain colors which took 9 months for Buckaboo to breed to fulfill our request -- we were willing to wait to get what we wanted cuz these will probably be our last birds. I'm old and don't want the flock to outlive me -- not fair to the birds:

BLUE SILKIE bearded

DARK PARTRIDGE bearded

MOORHEAD PARTRIDGE non-bearded
