Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Well feel free to write copious amounts of information on your chickies. And make it in a paragraph format

I am sure there are teachers on here that will encourage you and help you.

First thing I saw with that picture was a soccer team.

Awe, thank you! I will probably do that! I am currently writing a story about a fictional horse... it's slightly violent, because that is just the way my brain works... The chicks are so cute!!

OK lovely people, I need to 'do some work' (that is code for find something to do...); might run over to the storage trailer and get more packing tape - but it is so chilly out there!

I have been experimenting with tofu, stir fry vegetables and seafood lately. Many recipes and sauces have been used. (Even oyster sauce) I’m not going the kimchi route just yet.

Glad you are looking at healthier eating.
Try fish - surprisingly easy to cook and you can make yummy sauces to go with.
Tomorrow I will have salmon with a sauce made bith honey, ginger, and soy sauce.

Now am I correct in remembering you telling me she was a Barnevelder? They lay those dark brown eggs

Bernie is a Welbar - which is like a Welsummer.

Oi Vey!!

She is a Welbar. A Welsummer crossed with a BR for auto sexing, hence the name 'wel-bar' (I think there is a bit of something else in there, too, but those are the 2 primary breeds.)

Far less barring than a Barnveilder, and though Bernie is very tall, I am pretty sure she isn't/her breed isn't as large as the Barnveilders

I still haven't weighed Bernie. Maybe I will get brave and give it a go now I am back. But I feel she may be bigger than she is supposed to be.
I think she is supposed to be about 6lb.

Does she have a little Cochin in her?

Breed of the Week

@RoyalChick - I have made it my mission to research new breeds! As such I have found a new breed that I have never heard of! If I am ever in Spain I will be sure to look up a breeder and return with a few dozen eggs to hatch

I give you: Empordanesa and Penedesenca Chickens

Canada might not be the best place to raise these, but maybe Florida, Texas.... other hot places
