Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I'm seeing spots. Aster is a splash. I'm still betting on splash orpington.

I hope you are right. I'd love another orpington.

She's a splash whoozawatzit!

WHOOZAWATZIT ~ you created a new breed!

Caught the boys and loaded them into the quarantine/broody cage. Gave em some peanuts for their troubles. Trickster made me chase him down, I was able to get the others as they came out of the coop.

Lil Blue is the same size as trickster and only half his age!!!

A Muddy Buddy, Cocoa Puff, and Disco as well. I hope they like their new lives at the farm. The lady said she was splitting her flock into multiple coops/runs and wants boys for each set.
They look rough because of the rain we've had this week but I gave em each a once over and they are healthy.

So sad to see them go? I hope splitting them up in separate cages doesn't stress the little guys since they knew each other as babies? So hard re-homing birds but going to a good home is best.

I forget who you got them off of. I do remember their list of breeds kept changing. I'd just about bet money at some point their website has BBS orps listed. I would also bet the Lavender eggs are more expensive which is why they may not be owning up to their mistake.

She is clearly splash now and it makes sense that she hatched out white.

I’m feeling kinda mellokolly, melocaly, call me locally, melancholic.
Forget it, I’m just saddened by the losses of the wonderful birds who graced my life and who I have lost

So stately! Laced feathers are so pretty. Don't worry about his idiot stage ~ that'll happen when he starts dancing around the girls! You'll get plenty of chuckles then

Dukey has got some nice wattles as well

I will ask her to give me updates on them if she wants to. I'm sure when they get used to their flocks they'll do fine.
I will miss Trickster's crows though.

And remember, this is the alternative to eating them!!!

Yep I know you did!

I am just happy that you and @BY Bob understand and appreciate my talents!
