Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

@RebeccaBoyd I should have shared my girl too, she has teensy hints of wattles.



They're super hard to see.
On the plus side, no sign of them on the porcelain d'uccle or sebright!

Ok friends, especially those with Polish and Polish cross experience. Little Adele or Julio is now officially 6 weeks old. I have noticed in the last week wattles are starting to appear. Now to me and my experience with chicks 5 to 6 weeks old does not mean I panic, it is normal. I took these pictures a few minutes ago. With great difficulty I might add. My little chicken nugget was determined sitting on my hand was not good enough. Tonight she/he was determined to sit on my head. All I have to go by at the moment is the head poof and appearance of wattles. Her tail feathers so far scream pullet.

So friends, what do we think? Are we looking at Adele or are we looking at Julio?

If you think boy, let me have it. I can take it. It has long been determined boy or girl this one is a keeper. I cannot believe I'm saying this but it is pulling the same stunt Branch did when I lost Drummie. It has always been the friendliest. While the silkies have warmed up to me finally, this one. This one is proving to be special.

I still see pullet. But you know as well as I do that can change overnight. Anyway you like it, a beautiful loving bird.

Dakota just got a full bath. I’m out of breathe and wet. She seems very happy with having taken one.

Wet Dakota:
