Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

If you're taking about me, I'm Big Rooster to my girls, not Big Hen.

Sorry about that Sir my humble apologies!!!

You do realize that from now on you’re going to be known as Big Roo ? Right?

I would guess so.
You have been forgiven.
Dominica got poop on me. Ugh.

EL have alot of white yours is an Ancona yellow beak and legs

I had an Exchequer Leghorn - was supposed to be a pullet, but turned out to be a roo. He had a lot of black also, but had that gloriously large leghorn comb! (only the hens' are floppy...) He was a gorgeous boy...I rehomed him with one of my pullets from that groups as someone wanted to get a roo (she had 8 older hens (2-4y.o.) I just didn't think it was fair for him to be in quarantine all alone, which is why I sent one of 'his girls' with him.

I asked for $5, what I was charged for her/him as a chick. When she came and picked up the 2, she gave me 40 for the pair (the pullet was a FBCM) - they were about 10 wks old. He has grown into a fine gentleman!

Anyway, I digress. The amount of black/white varies just like anything else. If you have a brother or sister - are their hair color exactly the same color as yours?

The pictures below are all Exchequer leghorns. Note the wide variation in black to white ratio.

Hmmm looks like Fluffy is on her nest box, what a big tease! Just like Marty! Sitting in her nest box pretending to be broody.

I have come to terms with the fact that I am now going to known as Mama Hen to a bunch of chicks

Josey says thank you.
My siblings' hair color varies. And none of them have the same eyes as I do-only my mom.

Here's Josey. And Dominica's fluffy butt.

P.s. Her comb is really floppy and big. I think it's a leghorn comb.

Hope it wasn’t that gooey cecal poops - I cover my hay with old sheets so I don’t get a handful of that stuff when I grab bales

Well, look at this way. We all know how much you have been wanting a chick fix and… if we know your chickens surely do too. Maybe they think you should get the first batch of chicks to “brood”! After you have your babies though look out!! They may all go broody at once!
