Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Someone Fills in for BY Bob

I was out of town on Monday and needed someone to fill in for me and remove Phyllis from the nest. I thought right away of @CrazyChookChookLady but she is dealing with a new job and I knew it would be a long trip for her. I also knew she would do it any way and I knew I could not impose.

What other choices did I have?

We have been to encourage one other couple of our circle of friends to get chickens and so we thought of them. Now, just like here, the lady of the house wanted the chickens and it seems the husband had become responsible for them. He blisters to me everytime we see them about all the work we created for him. "She doesn't even collect eggs anymore!" I've always thought that his a soft side of him towards them.

Well as luck would have it, I was checking in on Phyllis as JD arrived to take her off the nest. Listen to the old softie talk to everyone!

It tells me the video is unavailable but very cute story

A Celebration of Hattie (The Pullet Years)

The following photos track Hattie through the remainder of her days as a pullet. By Thanksgiving she was full grown even if she was not yet laying. It is impossible to share Hattie's life without Jabberwocky. They were inseparable.

Jabberwocky would use her for fighting practice. Poor Hattie.

hi guys can someone help me find what breed this 3 and a half week old bantam is. Up Till now I thought is was a silkie but it’s getting feathers not fluff. So I am thinking bantam black cochin. Cochin chickens creep me out but this it the sweetest chicken I have so I will keep it. And is it to early to tell the gender?
