Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

BY Bob - do you have some photos of Sylvie? Her barring is so much lighter than Legertha’s, I’m worried she’s a boy.

Hmmm… that’s a good catch. In some barred breeds, the barring gene allows sexing at hatch. How about this breed, Bob?

I'm looking at the white bars. In any barred variety, such as Crele, Golden Cuckoo, or Lemon Cuckoo, where there's another color - the males will appear lighter, no matter what. I assume this "Candy Corn" is the same.

No, that is called 'Sharing"

It's only stealing when they hop up on your chair and sneak a peck out of what you are about to put in your mouth.

So, you have been to my house. (No Subway Sandwich is safe) !

Her feathers are lighter than Legertha.

Now for BY Bob's self delusional rant.......The breeder said they were auto sexed at birth. Their heads were essentially the some coloring when we got them. Sylvie is smaller than Legertha. She does not have an upright posture. Ok. That is out of the way.

I’m sneaking out early . My Cessna 172 SkyHawk needs more flight time. (Actually I do) it’s early, it’s dark, I know, but if any of you had such freedom, wouldn’t you want to use it? I’m sure that my eagle’s engine is still warm from yesterday. (SORRY, I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED)

Ps. I’m rated for IP and VIR so I can fly at night and fog, and my eagle is waiting for me.

I’m driving out now to the hanger. My destination today is to fly over pismo beach. I have a friend who lives there. I will dip my wing in honor to a good friend and patriot! Damn I love my Cessna SkyHawk!

I’m here at the hanger. Security tried to stop me haha. “We are very sorry Alexander Sherrill, what are your intentions?” I submitted my flight plans for pismo and yes I pushed the rules a bit, but it’s a small town, and I’m still in charge here. I give you peeps a play by play (because it’s fun to share personal experience with friends)

How long have you had the Cessna Alex? It (she?) clearly brings you lots of joy.
