Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Scrambles83]

Is it strange that, doing a bit of research today on light and speckled Sussex hens, that they seem to be different in body shape/size in all pics/videos?
Snow seems spot on for a light (massive and broad) but the speckled all seem like Belle (bit smaller, leaner, not as fluffy etc)
I thought Belle was a mix because she wasn’t the same as Snow but maybe she’s just being her best speckledness
Just a musing

I would have to video anyone trying to put these on our babies

The clucks that would escape in the process of putting it on would sound like a predator attack

I think WE like it more than THEY like it
I had to discuss with kiddo about what chickens really need vs what is available. Otherwise we would have needed up with a bunch of these he has a dream of walking all the birds down the street like well trained dogs.View attachment 2645525

I’m just picturing walking the dog and the chickens together

News on Phyllis @BY Bob?

I just woke up a little while ago. I have not checked on them yet today. I am hoping to have a cup of coffee first today.

I can't access the article bc I don't subscribe to that magazine anymore. The bottom line was that we are city folk and the wild turkeys were presented as hooligans and ne'er-do-well types that viciously attack your car if they see their reflection in the paint

That's so funny.

I'm trying to imagine Aurora agreeing to that.

Of course, silly me

Hope you are doing ok after your full on week

Don't even try imagining it. Not gonna happen.

I think she’d stare down any dog on a leash pretty well, all beard and muffs
