Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

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

Thanks grandma! One more day to go and we should have him home.

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

I really wish to respond to this but I'm very tired and about to turn in. Is there anyway you could ask again on Friday so I can write a detailed response for you? This is one of my favorite topics.

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.

I agree with the Ex Bats being Red Sex Links bit I still think you have a creme legbar in there. It looks remarkably like the road runners and Flash. Right @micstrachan and @RoyalChick ?

How funny that I came up in conversation!

Chickadee is doing well and still lives in my backyard! She is very friendly, but does NOT let me hold or pet her. She will stand next to me and is okay with me handling her baby chicks, but has never been one for affection of any sort. Last month, Chickadee surprised me and she actually let me pet her! This was such a special moment for me and one that I will always hold close to my heart!

You can see just how tiny she is in this photo!

I am enchanted by the wild chickens! I must get to Hawaii one day and see them for myself.

Hey Everyone. It's been a while since I've last been here I'm slowly getting caught up with everyones posts.

Do y'all remember the two chicks I rescued? The first in May and the second in July? They're all grown up now!

Clearly Gizmo is a rooster. He started crowing a few weeks ago and makes a GREAT alarm clock!

Okay, going to continue catching up on this thread!

Wow! They grew up to be awesome!
