I could call a rooster zit.Definitely a rooster!
Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock
- Thread starter BY Bob
- Start date
With slightly different answers (lap chicken or not, foragers or not, cold-tolerant or both) I got Brahma (don't think the furry feet would be good in the snow and wet), Sex-Link (this made no sense, I always said No to the laying lots of eggs question) Cochin, and Pynchon Bantam. I don't know enough about these last two to have an opinion but the Pynchon Bantam was very beautiful. Dominiques were a breed I considered before settling on Buckeyes. They are very cool and a heritage breed. Why didn't I get that?

I can't answer that. I wonder what you and I put differently?With slightly different answers (lap chicken or not, foragers or not, cold-tolerant or both) I got Brahma (don't think the furry feet would be good in the snow and wet), Sex-Link (this made no sense, I always said No to the laying lots of eggs question) Cochin, and Pynchon Bantam.

I let Aurora know.
Aurora mocked Phyllis with the news
Phyllis was not happy

I am hoping that I have no cockerels in this group, but, as I always say, “Roos need love too “I could call a rooster zit.

A Cold Frosty Start turns into another Great Day
Saturday dawned with fog, drizzle, and a snow covered deck. The girls were locked in the complex and not happy.
By lunch time the fog had cleared and drizzle had stopped. The snow was melted from the deck. I headed out to chop up the brush left from trimming the butterfly bush and I released the flock.
About 1/3 of the side yard no longer has snow, the portion around the magnolia tree. The girls were digging in it in no time. Of course the snow was not restricting Phyllis.
Watch them dig away.
After I got the brush done, I grabbed a cup of coffee and a book and we spent the afternoon together.
Aurora came and sat in the chair next to me.
Hattie figured out that enough space had melted for her to explore the entire fence line today.
The tribe spent the day together scratching away leading to some really muddy feat. Phyllis left footprints on my pants.
They patrolled the edge of the snow line devouring the grass as the snow receded.
The sun did make some brief appearances but we still hit 50°F today. Not bad at all.

Don’t ever wash those pants. Phyllis gave you her signature, and I’m sure your pants will be quite valuable someday!
Beautiful! We call those EE'S here. Here are a couple of photos of what we call Aracanas. Tufted, and rumpless..no tail.I had 2 Splash Aracaunas ~ Australian varieties, not American. Ours have tails.
This is Beatha. She has a tuft & a beard. She's a bit of a loner.

This is Mhari. She was my 2nd & very beautiful. I lost her unexpectedly last year. Her crest is tiny but she did actually have one.No beard.

I posted a link for WhoDat on how there's almost no difference between an Aracauna & an EE. One was accepted by the APA, the other was not.
. I had a couple years ago. One tuft was longer than one side on one of them. These aren't mine, photos I found.Nah..just fun to watch.
I got to spend a few minutes with my girls when I got home tonight, Rosue and I inspected the ground under one of the planters in the front yard before they went off to bed and I came in to give my other non feathered dinosaur her bath. 
work nights are short and full of animals needing attention, including the humans. Anyone ever have those nights you wish there was human kibble available?
