Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

That's what I saw Lozzy. They don't have feathered feet but I don't see feathering ~ even with my glasses on

I'm so glad your girl is doing ok.

Thanks Ribh, me too.

 

[LozzyR]

It’s a barred Cochin. They have feathered feet.
I had two, but they went to the rainbow bridge.

I have to go with Cochin too.

I can't play - my knowledge of chicken breeds is limited to:
- Leghorns (because of you)
- Legbars (because of all of you)
- Campines (because of @Ribh)
- Naked necks (because of @WhoDatChick and Trump, obviously)
- Rhode Island Reds (because of the vet who explained that Maggie was bred in order to die young )
- Bitsas (because of @MaryJanet and @Shadrach)

I think that is all I could have a shot at recognizing with the exception of the Bitsas which would just have to be my default guess for all other chickens. I will keep trying to learn!

Allow me to add to your knowledge pool:

Red Faverolle

Salmon Faverolle

Black Australorp

Barred Rock (which also includes Sydney, Stanley, Ned, Soda and Bridge (I think?)) I know Ribh has at least two.

What do you mean RIR's are bred to die young? I never heard that before.

Maybe you’re thinking of ISA BROWNS. They are bred to lay a million eggs and burnout by the time they are two.

I have 3 Barred Rocks:
Soda,

Hepzibah,

Patricia ~ something went wrong with her genetics & she doesn't look much like a BR but that's what she is.

@RoyalChick: here's an easy one for you.
Lavender is a Frizzle.
They are a breed in Oz & some parts of Europe but not in America.

So pretty!
My sad old brain needs to take it slowly - so taking on new knowledge takes me a while.
I think I can add Barred Rock to my list because I would be able to spot Stanley and Ned from a mile away.

What I heard was “I want some”.
So funny they know your routine. They can tell time too.

I heard the same thing! (Listening too much to chickens I recon)
