Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[GregnLety]

Good morning. It's early here but can't sleep. Too much going on today. Gotta finish the silkie coop and prep for my outpatient deal tomorrow. The rain frustrated our efforts yesterday but we made progress. Will get pictures later today as it will be sunny. Integrating the silkies together will be interesting as the 2 girls Silky and Itty Bitty are in different flocks and the rooster Viajito is an outsider we acquired around Thanksgiving.

It appears I'm in the minority with Kris in not liking the name Wasabi. I don't even know why she is so dead set on naming one that. She has never even tried it, although she does like spicy stuff so I'm sure she would like it. Now if you were to ask me why I do not like the name, I don't have any other reason besides thinking it is not a chicken name.

Wasabi is good on sushi....made with fish....

Viajito? Unique name. What does it mean? Pics of the trio will be greatly appreciated when they're in their new housing.

Oh that is an annoying ad!

I may be spelling the name incorrectly but in Spanish or at least Tex-Mex slang it means old man. Given his appearance he has a few years on him. I should be able to get some pics this afternoon.

Yesterday was the first day out since the cold snap. Morning low was above 0F.....barely....opened the hatch anyway, as with clear skies, the temps would certainly go up. Pics from after work....they all came running to say, "Hi!" Thing has finally blossomed and is exploring with the flock. Pear has gone from looking like a ragamuffin to looking ready for the red carpet (almost, feathers are still lengthening). Cheetah got some tidbitting in and gave me some ideas to help him with his courting: hang on the deck until they start wandering off, then toss walnut pieces occasionally, aiming for near him.

Yes, he's really that tiny

Yup, still annoying!

Best of luck! Slow integration is best if possible, but then there is @BY Bob with Betty. She integrated herself with Phyllis just fine! Didn't give Phyllis much choice!

I agree. Both girls have low key attitudes so I anticipate no problem between them. I'll put them together in the coop and if all goes well I will introduce the rooster. Probably cut up some tomatoes for their official eat, meet n greet.
