Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Becky, maybe you should get some exotic plants? Meat eating Venus fly trap? I’d love to see a terrarium full of those things.

A few of those traps in the chicken yard would be great around here! Summer flies love fresh chicken poop!

How many? I think you said but my brain isn’t all it should be and I forgot.

3 out of the 6 eggs. The chipmunk marked one is hidden. I’ll do a check when I do evening chores.

They were fairly active this afternoon.

Wait, what is satin?

Hard or normal feathers on a silkie.

 

[Ponypoor]

Haven't seen one here either.

Now there are Red Partridge Silkies to also add to the partridge variations:

Gorgeous!

I’ll take 2 of them

Navy and her babies. 3 are satin and 1 is silkie feathered. That gives me 3 total silkie feathered in my massive group of silkies.

My buff silkie mix. One that will be in the run crew. I believe kiddo and I have chosen 8 to go in the run and the other 10 will be rangers? My math may be off, I have been feeling gradually sicker these past few days.

Chocolate was laying her egg and chatting with little Dream. I think she was talking her through the egg laying process. They laid there and chatted around the divider until Chocolate was finished laying. How sweet.

They sure are getting big, time is flying and all the babies everyone has are growing up so fast!

I was just thinking the same? Hope everything is good.

Henny Penny is a Satin Silkie - they have regular feathers.

@Sylvester017 as you can see Marty (behind Henny) has the gold feathers on her neck. They are there all the time.
