Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Grandmas Coop]

It is coming fast enough. Life has thrown me a curve and I will not be home for the several days. This will delay completion of the Cluckle Hut and their movement out. As well as I will lose time with them.

My son in law fractured his tibia in the surf out on the outer banks in NC. His leg is immobilized and non weight bearing. I am now helping to get him back home to Detroit. That's a journey of nearly 1,000 miles. We completed 4 hours yesterday. While my daughter tends to him, I will be driving.

I will be an infrequent poster while we drive. Please behave yourselves.

Prayers to you and safe driving! So sorry about the leg!

In your first set of birds without an established pecking order, how did you identify your top hen? What behaviors made that apparent?

I hope Lily has turned up safe and sound Afi.
We are not all online all the time ( I forgot to log on entirely yesterday and have had to catch up)
You will find most of us have put our general location or country under our avatar over on the left there.
<———-
If you add your country to your avatar it will let us have some idea what time zone you are in and therefore when you are likely to be on line. You can get the same general idea on the rest of us from our country of origin.

Just remember to breathe Afi. Panicking helps no one and makes it harder for you to think and plan. Your birds count on you to use your head to take care of them.

I hope everything turns out ok .

Oh thank u

So sorry Afi I didn’t want to cry today, but if I lost one of my kids I would be devastated too! Yes tears are in my eyes over this. I’m not kidding either

I thought I saw a cream legbar or two?

Now you know chicken breeds, especially from the USA and the UK are not my strong point but I don't think Henry The Second and his misses are legbars.
What I think they are is Light Sussex.
I'm still working on the others but a couple of the grey hens have Marans in them.
Don't know about the Ex Batts; Red Sex Links of some description possibly.

You don’t think this is a Cream Legbar? I guess you’ll know if/when she starts laying.

In general I know nothing about breeds - but you have one that is a dead-ringer for my Roadrunners and they are Crested Cream Legbars.
If you get blue eggs from her then it is for sure. It is only one of them.
This is the one we are talking about .. ..
