Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Both are awesome in their own ways but Snowy is just gorgeous love a nice frizzle

Do you know the genetics of this feather type? If Mr P breeds my Curly will she pass on the frizzle feathers?

One of my best friends is a frizzle breeder and she explained it to me. I can’t quite remember the single and double bit but Curly should pass on the frizzle gene, yes.

It is one of those days that I have to walk away from facebook a bit. There was a bus accident this morning with 20 children on the bus. As of right now no deaths but several were severely hurt and are critical. Please keep these children, their families and the bus driver in your thoughts and prayers.

I don’t think I have posted this here yet. My winter modifications mainly consist of some repurposed strip curtains that I can adjust in several configurations depending on weather. I have some corrugated plastic I will be putting on the door to block drafts from that part. Main goal is to stop cold wind from hitting the roosts, and to block excessive rain when it might ice up, while leaving lots of ventilation. I still need to add strip curtains to the side that is open/partially exposed. And I bought a heated waterer (still have to run the cord and plug it in.)

And an attempt at a pretty feather picture (Jasmine). Not as good as @knoturavggrl, but kind of pretty.

Mugs Monday shots from my girls hard at work.
I think Holly knows I forgot her in the count for active layers and she is not thrilled with me. She snubbed my offer of craisins.

I cleaned the coop and gave them fresh sawdust, Wasabi had to inspect it.

My neighbor down the road just asked me if I was interested in a 1/2 of a steer. yes I am, but I don’t have the freezer space. I’m calling everyone I know who might want some fresh beef. It’s only $300 bucks, and for that price, I’d be a fool not to take him up on that. I’m planning to pay more anyways. He’s probably hurting for money I can help!

Help even a stubborn proud ol fart guy like him!

Peanuts eyes - this evening there’s bubbles, three big ones on her left eye in the front corner, and another few on her right, same place. This isnt normal and can’t be good. Have too look it up, but why, on the fourth day of antibiotics, is this now happening? Something to do with the antibiotic? Or totally unrelated? Poor Peanut!

My lovely hen died (under antibiotics) she had bubbles from her eyes too. Poor Peanut.
