Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

My dad also passed away from cancer and heart issues so this bothers me alot and gives me horrible flashbacks. Unfortunately his in his jaw and 5 tumors in his lung and pancreas. So he doesnt have long time to live.

I'm so sorry to read this

I think this may be too advanced for me - particularly as it is a new breed - but there is nothing either white or blue about that gorgeous chicken - so how come that is the name?

The Whiting True Blue and Whiting True Green are named not for the color of the chicken, but the color of the eggs they lay. Chicken color can vary tremendously, but they are supposed to be 100% at laying those colors. This website has some interesting information:

Which just means that identifying breeds by what a chicken looks like can be virtually impossible with some breeds.

This is one thing we are considered doing. A lot also depends on how Miss Z handles being alone. If she does ok we may wait until we eventually lose her and then get another pair.


What is the title and author? I may have to check it out.

Frostbite Update
The girls seem to be recovering fairly well and it looks like there might be minimal permanent damage. Goldy, Sassy, Hazel, Jasmine, and Speedy appear to have escaped from it completely. Here are some updated pics of the others, some of which are also “Monday Mugs”.
