Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing that.
I need to look back at my chicken history book to see what it has to say about American chickens.

I gave up tracing breed histories too far back. Many documentations say they are correct yet can conflict w/one another. I just go back to about 1900 onward since so many breeds before then have gone thru many changes + standards & appearances differ in other countries.

They can be very smart when you spend sweet quiet times w/them. They learned from you & they also let you know what they want too.

I posted this before ~ DH has this ritual w/Ginny since she was a chick.

Also, Dana the Dominique waits at the back door every night for DH to walk her to the coop & she won't enter it until all 5 Silkies have gone up first.

Well he sure is well trained isn’t he?!

I will when we decide! It won't be until next spring though!

I am with you. I too got close to quitting over it but I think @BY Bob has created something special at FBA and I don’t want to abandon him.
Hang in there. Lots of lovely chickens to talk about!
Everyone, if you feel the need to make social commentary or political remarks, please go to the other 99.9% of the internet where that is considered normal.
