Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Well, in honour of Sacheen Little Feather who passed today and had refused Marlon Brando's Oscar for him in defense of native people's cause, I should refuse the medal, to fight for all the chickens withheld from free-ranging just kidding. ( Yes, my humor is even worse than @featherhead007 )

Thank you @BY Bob, if someone deserves being called a true friend whatever that means on the web, it's you.

Instead of being angry with you for that post, I wish you all the best, and hope you never step into chicken poop !

My daughter is 26 and she hasn’t laid either (but she’s happily married)

Hopefully you do not have to wait long, but each boy is different. I've saw people have boys crow as early as 2 weeks. Personally for me Drumstick was my earliest crower at around 7 weeks. Branch was almost 5 months old before he let out his first crow. His sneaky brother was exactly 6 months old. Ezzie was over 5 months. I find if there are already multiple roosters in the flock they tend to wait a while before sounding off. I'm watching Twiggy, so far he is showing no inclination of crowing. What he is doing is shadowing both Bubba and Branch learning the ropes of being a good boy and has started tidbitting to the girls. He's also attempting to create nests for them and call them over. That first crow will not be in the too distant future.

My boys are 5 weeks old who knows when they will start crowing.

Oh that Mr Pompei, he sleeps in the most peculiar ways! Just look how he is doing a faceplant sleeping! I hope he gets a restful night like that

Yep Bob has a theory that it’s a Polish chicken thing, but my silkies sleep like that also

She was just in the News here a few weeks ago, sorry to hear this.

I was just about to check BYC and research the badge awarding and the other such awards I am seeing.
