Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Oh my! Look at those little faces!
I look forward to seeing a lot more of them!

I think I might have finally found my lap-chickens!

New girls!!!

Please welcome our newest family members; three Frizzle bantams (feather-dusters!)

Penguin - a one year-old Pekin/Australorp X hen who needs to regrow her back feathers due to an over-attentive rooster.

Charlotte (Lottie) - a three month-old Australorp X pullet.

Snowflake (Snowy) - a three month-old Sussex X pullet.

More photos to follow once we’re out of the car.

Your Sussex x has the same nickname as my light Sussex (Snow) except hers is short for Snow White. Went with the Disney Princess name of Belle

I did think of that, but my son wanted to name her. I chose Charlotte/Lottie.

It’s not a bad thing! It suits them being all white and stuff

In their new home chowing down on the food and grass.

Question; should I be giving them some pullet food as well?

Poor Penguin. That rooster really did a number on her back. Just as well it's summer here.

I imagine something fairly high in protein would be good for the younger girls if they are still growing and haven't started laying yet. Penguin could probably do with some extra protein as she starts to regrow those feathers. Maybe sardines as treats every now and then?
