Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

These little rascals have spent the morning stuffing themselves and throwing so much junk in their waterer that I've had to completely clean it twice today. But they are having a blast and are being exposed to the big chickens as they are enamored with them. Drummie and Henrietta want in with them so bad. Of course I know what they really want to get after is their chick feed.

Here's a baby update!!

Still no name for this cutie, but she is certainly a sweet, calm chick.

Here's the reast of the group. I think have 3 leghorns and 1 golden comet plus the 4 Easter eggers, and of course the marans.

All you guys with your babies are making me clucky!

I feel the same way, nothing is really sticking out yet.

I've been thinking of Pearl, but I'm not even sure of that. I do like old lady names for my chooks. I've thought about Elvira too.

Daphne or Matilda (Tillie)?

Broody Update

For everyone who was excited to see Phyllis hatch (count me in this group), I have bad news. She gave up the nest.

I guess she decided it was not a much fun as she thought it would be. She has been off all day and it's 3 pm. Besides a fashion plate like Phyllis can't be weighed down with children.

I must admit, I'm kind of disappointed. I think she would would have cut a fabulous figure with chicks. Alas it is not to be.

She out again unencumbered by children.

She tried it on, maybe next time it will fit better.
Good job anyway, Phyllis. You are stunning
And Bob, you got the chance to muss her hair

I seriously want to share a picture of little Arizona and Leann, but they won’t stay still long enough.

She at least tried it. And I got to muss her hair finally!

That makes two of us. Someone has said they are making me another coop soon. So if they do actually keep their word I'm getting an incubator

So I'm not the only one that these little fluff butts outrun

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.

You'll be lucky, going to the toilet is a winner for me, chickens are always first
