Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Good Evening All!

So - I have refrained the whole day from commenting! Harder than you think, between babies and horses (thanks Rebecca haha!); beautiful chickies (thanks Valarie, Avggrl, Lillion, RC, RM.... etc); and really Alex ? posting BR Tabbies?? and Jaffar? hahaha very hard not to respond! BUT - I bookmarked each and everyone of you that I wanted to reply to so here goes!

Yes there are stallions, but generally speaking tribes on the move wouldn't keep a stud horse, but they knew who kept he best and most beautiful stallions


Yep we know who that is! Right Alex?

Can one get Silkies in a barred tabby pattern?


Oh your chickies are so pretty! and your boy is real Eye Candy for sure - Oh and Welcome!!! You just fit right in so well I forgot you're new!


Oh those wattles - soooo lovely I just love them - you know I love wattles!

OK - well I know you found her nest and that she has an enabler; so I guess it will be a waiting game to see if you want her to sit on eggs - I will be following this for sure!


I noticed no drama and all well mannered, not like all my naughty gals! And all wanting to lay their eggs in that one nest box! And we won't even go into bed time drama!!

Ahhhh Tony - you are such a sweetie pie and you know how I love a nice Barred Rock Tabby Chicken hahahaha (yes Alex it's a tabby chicken deal with it!)


Awww I love seeing your Rockettes you know how I love a nice Barred Rock...
A lovely nice Barred Rock Tabby Chicken

Ooooo! So nice! I love their combs and wattles (speaking of - is Parmesan, or is it Mozella missing a wattle?) - and I love their long tails!


OK well that was harder than I thought it would be - I have enjoyed reading everyone's comments today! Everyone have a lovely evening! See you all in the morning!

That was impressive!

Seems Coco likes The Three Stooges reruns! Aaah haaa! That’s strange because she’s only a year old. But purring along with the Stooges. Many years before her time.

I can't help myself - I have to ask - does the chick grow up green? of do it's adult feathers come in the regular colour ?! (sorry!)

 

[featherhead007]

We would hope that the dye grows out of the poor chick! ( I don’t like it when someone does that to a chick) usually they do it around Easter time.

They die the chick.

Handed the award for rudest person with Coco and Jaffar. I'm coming to steal them. You can have Tony, though.

Sounds like abuse. I'm sure the chicken's original color is fine. Besides, it looks hideous.

No, I thought they angered the chick until it morphed into green

These chickens!
Babs flew up to the rafters but failed to land so fell the 11' to ground.
But now it is getting really dark - and probably darker up there without the windows.
So she decides she won't be able to make it up there tonight and is leaving Eli up there alone.
Bernie was already comfortably roosted in her favorite spot and wasn't paying much attention.
So what does Babs try to do? She tries to take Bernie's spot! So Bernie savages her. And Babs just hunkers down.
Next she tries to cuddle up to Bernie who is having none of that!
Now they are both on the roost maybe a foot or so apart from each other and preening in a way that means they don't need to catch each others eye.
I think everyone is unhappy. Babs is clearly nervous about her bunk-mate, Bernie. Eli is all on her own up in the rafters. And Bernie is grumpy at having her routine disturbed.
Even I am not very happy about it because I am sure this is a one-off event and Babs will be right up there tomorrow night. I just hope she doesn't try to go up there in the middle of the night.
As I said,

Seems okay to me, it could be the beginning of them all roosting together? It’s all in transition, and seems more or less peaceful, at least in chicken terms! Thank you for the updates, I’m reading them with great interest!
