Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Buttercup was initially like that but these days she is hiding out, and now Blanche has decided to start moulting!



Snow Sunday - bad timing kiddo…

Oh no. Not snow already!

 

[BY Bob]

It will be interesting to see what color her eggs are.

That will be the final verification. But she does not have a wrinkly comb, top knot, or fluffy bum like a Legbar should. If she is a leghorn she may start laying in the winter as they just can't stop themselves so we may yet know this year.

I'm guessing white like princess

If they are, she is a leghorn. That is the one color Legbar do not lay.

 

[BY Bob]

Oh goodness. They really are mad!
I expect they will lodge a formal complaint over this one.

I think they were.

 

[BY Bob]

How many do you need?

None!

 

[BY Bob]

I was surprised at the weight on my silkies! They 4 of them are between 1.5kg and 1.7kg! Sophia is at 1.7kg right now during her moult.

That seems beefy for a silkie. That's bigger than Phyllis!

 

[BY Bob]

They must be happier now is a bit cooler there.

Haven’t seen any photos of your chickies on a while or those Guinea fowl they must be pretty much full grown!

That is true. It's been too long. Lots of dog photos. Where are the chciken pictures @GregnLety

If they are blue then we know for sure she is a Legbar. If they are white she could be either Leghorn or Legbar. At least I think that is how it works.

Legbars lay blue or brown eggs. They do not lay white ones.

 

[BY Bob]

Lord knows what princess is but she lays the very seldom egg and it's white

She is grumpy chicken. That's what she is!

 

[BY Bob]

1) Dark green, so from the air look less obvious
2) Black. Black goes with everything.
3) Light brown/beige
4) Dark, chocolate brown

My personal choice would be either 1 or 4. (or, of course, your original option of white)

Color Tax:
(I hope this spoiler works!)

Spoiler: Wow, it that colorful!

That is what you get when you give your chooks 'red (purple, really) cabbage and a deep orange squash to eat in the same day!

I was shocked when I gave them purple cabbage and got lime green poo out of them. I thought they were all dying. Instead they were "dye'ing".
