Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

They are frizzles. No one would take them seriously if they tried to be mean.

Just saying.

Also a Wyandotte...​

I know our weather is fluctuating all the time.
It's freezing now and air should be clear but it stinks of burning rubber out there tonight

I would love to be able to heat up my girls little coop but with no electricity that's just impossible

Burning rubber? From what?

Don't need to heat the coop, as long as no drafts, and dry, should be good to go.

That’s one of the reasons I went for Faverolles and my red Faverolle keeps going broody!

Hahaha I feel your pain!

 

[Ponypoor]

Isn't there a Canadian dictionary you can select?

Wait...? What??!!

Haha just kidding, yep but still Microsoft isn't perfect, and it will still try to correct my spelling...

On my phone I am lucky I can text haha!

How r u today?

Yeh, I wasn't being at all discerning. I think you're right. Some breed descriptions will be more reliable than others.

Any breed description is at best an attempt to capture a 'tendency' - every breed will have a distribution of individuals and the difference between individuals within a breed may be more than the differences between individuals in different breeds.
This will be particularly true for characteristics like personality that are not explicitly part of the breed standard. Some physical characteristics have been bred for - like comb type or skin color are sort of determinative of a breed and those that care about those sorts of things will say that a chicken is or is not a particular breed based on those standards.

About the same. I'm eating a little better now so that's progress.

Do you read this thread?

Just kidding.

Sydney has been laying since just after the new year started.

I did post on it including videos, right everyone? I'm not nuts am I? I could have sick brain.

I do notice that I miss posts now and then - the notifications jump around somehow. I know you posted that she laid one outside the boxes but I thought that was a one-off event.

You make a lot of good points for someone who can barely identify 3 chicken breeds. Good for you.

The Ever Mercurial Sydney

Apparently today the nest box will work for her egg. Go figure. Maybe it is warmer far from the door.

She stopped to enjoy the Cozy Coop heat for a bit too!
