Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Sad day here.
Had to euthanize that sickly little roo, he was done fighting. I guess I didn't catch his worms in time.
Also my gramma is not improving, either she's in too much pain to move or she's asleep with the pain meds. So they're discussing her going into a nursing home versus assisted living.

Sorry for the bummers, y'all.

Morinth is laying again, she laid a shelless egg that I had to show to hubby and kiddo before feeding it to the dog.

I am sorry to hear your having some sad times, I am hoping your Gramma can get some relief from her pain

Morinth should start laying proper eggs soon, she needs to get for factory settings sorted out likely.

I’d like to think that there will be some good and positive things happening in your life as well as the hurt .

Saddle feathers are coming in, looks like I only had two girls hatch from Samara and Morinth's brood.

Hawk has round pullet feathers. We will discuss her permanent name.

And of course Biscuit Baby girl.
That leaves me with 15 hens if we keep all 3 BOrps.
Versace and Ric Flair are doing well, they are both full of pins on their crests so extremely skittish.

Hawk has the face of a hawk, from the pictures that I see here.

Pretty good, I’m thinking about breeding some of my chickens for sell. Tips? Tricks?

My 2 cents not worth much importance, but here in the States breeding pure breed is more saleable than barnyard mixes ~ the feed stores here are usually sell better-known egg layers. However Canada climate probably does best having small comb breeds to not deal w/large comb frostbite issues ~ for instance small combs: Chanteclair, Easter Egger, Dominique, Buckeye, Wyandotte, Hedemora, Brahma &/or Cochin (except feathered leg breeds may be a problem holding moisture which freeze the legs in snow.)

If I lived in snow climate I would stay away from large comb breeds unless they were kept in warm temperature barns/housing.

But you know what? Take all advice w/ a grain of salt, evaluate your environment & housing conditions, & go from there. Decide if selling chicken eggs or meat birds is more in demand to customers & are eggs legal to sell in your province/zone, & who are your customers going to be ~ farmers market, neighbors, co-workers, etc.

Oh I like this one

I'll treasure this.
I had one of all of my flock. Sadly I didn't get the moment when Flexi had stolen the dog's chew and he looked so confused. Then she dropped it because she couldn't bite into it and he proudly stole it back of course it was all my fault

Well excuse me. There's nothing wrong with my famous comb

I think Sulvester is jealous of me.
