Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

Since you made that comment I've been plotting on how to ship all the boys to you.

@featherhead007 are you opening up that cockerel reform school? I have a solid 20 volunteers you can have as well!

I like the idea

And I have given it some deep thought today while I was ‘working hard’ at not rolling my eyes (you know…), anywhoooo I want to take a side silhouette of the chooks and put them directly on the wall of the hen house near the top of the wall. All in a row like a border - I need to paint the walls first though. Thinking a darker colour and the silhouettes a lighter colour. The two colours not a few shades off from one another.

This requires a bit more thought and paint swatches, I think a trip to Home Depot on Monday is in order to check out paint, the kind with low volatile gases so I can paint this time of the year, might have to house the kiddos in a stall for a week or so though. Do t want paint fumes to harm them.

How about acrylics? Like craft paints, then a exterior resistant clear coating for longevity?

Well I'm up at 1 am. I feel a little better at least I can walk now.

Thank you. She is a darling too. So sweet and steady.

Her and Glynda are a great pair. Glynda is non-stop motion. Jubilee Orpingtons supposedly tend to be more stationary chickens but Lady Featherington is always bouncing and bounding around to keep up with her friend Glynda. It's fun to watch her bounce and run.

I love this! In all honesty, I always wanted to Jubilee Orpington one day. But I have little Mill who looks similar and iso a speckled Sussex. She’s also very special!

Hmmm it’s inside so not worried about longevity- also odour needs to be taken into account.

I love the spotty look, or patterns (like barred rocks), would love some Wyandotte

One can dream

How are the new arrivals?
