Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

So I'm looking up Campines. Pretty! I note the wonderful flag tails. Seems to be a common characteristic here what you're going for, aside from the Polish top knot. Legbars, Leghorns & Campines all have it. And I love it too!

Campines are my insanity of choice. They have so much character & pizazz. They have such wild & woolly reputations sellers have been known to ask me if I know what I'm letting myself in for. They're not usually recommended for newbies. I find mine settle once they are laying & stop seeing me as the demon from the deep dark depths!

Appears to be a deep respiratory issue. We're treating with antibiotics and antifungal. She's eating and walking.

I do so love the shape of leghorns, legbars and polish. They have a marvelous "U". The big tail makes it happen.

This is Rema. I just noticed yesterday that her wattles are a different size. I wonder if that's common?

Wonderful photos and beautiful ladies. My BO has never been broody and I always kind of hoped she would.

I love your automated coop door! How long have you had it?

Only a vet was going to help you with that. You did the right thing. Please make certain to update your post in the emergencies forum.

She really is adorable.

Is this the actual explanation of their being "flighty"?
