Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I love watching chick(en)s drink!!

They do seem to enjoy it a lot.

They do seem to enjoy it a lot.

I'm constantly cleaning and refilling their dish. The "jug" part of the waterer takes up too much room in the brooder. Once they go outside I will properly fix it. It is hard to believe that in about 2 weeks time if the weather is warm they can start spending the days outside in the run.

Now that the "chipmunks" are 3 week old I am officially going to call them Easter Eggers. They are big enough now that I can clearly see they do not have a single comb. It is still non-existent, but it is very obvious that they will one day have a pea comb. I am very happy that due to the mix-up I do not have a production breed. The only draw back to this, if you want to call it a draw-back is now I have to play the "are you a boy or girl game". I also have to get enough courage to tell mom that they are not really the Cinnamon Queens she wanted. As long as they are girls, and end up some sort of red/brown color I have until they lay that first egg. I could get really lucky, and they lay some shade of brown or tan egg and she will never have to know.

Oh that's wonderful! It's always amazing to get those first eggs

You must be new here - welcome!

Thanks. Yeah, fairly new, only been on the site about a week, this was the first thread I joined I think. I haven't been on for a day or two though as been really busy.

Edit: Had to look as I was curious, I signed up on March 3rd . Feels like I've been checking these posts for ages though! I think sometimes my posts get pushed back because of time difference though because I'm in England.

Yeah - you can tell your Mom that they all look like Cinnamon Queens to me (you know how good I am I breeds!)

You're not the only one in England on this thread. This one spans the world: US, Canada, Europe, Australia, ....several for whom English is a 2nd language....

My chickens, squawk with an English/Australian accent, but are from California! It’s too cute
I think they watch too much YouTube
