Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Yup. the chick to the far right in the picture of the 4 of them spread out...definitely a boy!

You know, Momma/Evil ole bat/Chicken - she really is a lovely looking girl. Similar to, but not quite the same coloring as, a Welsummer. You will have to tell us the story of her 1 stump. It doesn't seem to slow her down at all! I would be afraid walking on it would cause a sore, but I guess it is calloused enough???

And the Chiquita offspring - Branch's, I assume? What a cutie!

OMG, wouldn't it be a hoot if you could cross Chiquita and Momma hen - what a broody, biting fuzzball that would be!

.... ya like Marty.....

Now for some other pictures I took this morning. I still have to track down Ducky and her sister. When I grabbed my camera and headed out all 5 girls were together. Get out back, and those 2 had ran off.

Perdita is on the right.

If I did not know better, I would swear at this age that Perdita is a full black large fowl cochin chick.

No had dare touch her store egg....she is hatching it.

Another unnamed girl, gosh she is pretty as well. I could be in trouble here. You know, maybe this is the one I need to drop off at @RoyalChick house. While she does have feathered legs, experience tells me they will be lightly feathered as a adult.

Marvelous!

Are you saying she needs to take a trip to Italy I think and smuggle home a dozen leghorn eggs?

Why yes I do. Why not?

 

[BY Bob]

Thank you very much for this, @BY Bob ...you just made my day!! I shared it with a colleague of mine (head of the math dept.!)

I'm so glad.

No driving? I guess they are worried about your BP... ? How is your breathing today.

Sorry, texting with my thumb, gets me out of breath. I’m kidding

 

[featherhead007]

Why yes I do. Why not?

 

[BY Bob]

Cross your fingers everyone. Chiquita's babies are here. Mom came home with 6 white leghorns.

I must see pictures!

 

[Ponypoor]

I know! I can't wait!

Chiquita better take to them!

Drop both off! Cheaper by the dozen so they say!

Yup, that gold necked chick is definitely a Squirrel daughter. Here is momma Squirrel after her latest molt.

I love the flame hackles on those Marans chickens - very striking!
But please tell me you aren't going to the store to buy Large White Grade A eggs!
