Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Feed store has to mill the special diet for my chooks, so me and Jaffar will go to lunch first

So the drs called my hida scan is normal. I told her Ive got the same symptoms and am sicka and in pain and throwing up they will call me later .

Yes I was looking at the pictures of yours closely and I definitely see the difference.
The breeder also said that the feathers would be on the leg shaft only, not on the foot. I think from peering closely that is correct also.
Somehow he convinced me that I could cope with this degree of leg feathering and so here I am!

Squirrel, you have to look close to see her feathering, really close.

Blueberry, same thing, very lightly feathered and very short.

It is a start in the right direction. One day we will get you to where you have one of these in your flock.

What do people say when they see him? I'd love to have a rooster like that.

I get a full spectrum of different looks from other people in town. But they are getting used to seeing me with a chook or two.

I am very comfortable at the beginner level. Blueberry’s are hard to see, but I think Squirrel’s legs are rather stylish.

Well, not the picture I was going to send, but Philomena climbed up there on her own. I hope she keeps doing that.

It is the best when they do that.

I had to go back and look at baby pictures.
Baby Squirrel at a similar age.

Not the best but baby Blueberry.

Squirrel’s look similar. I think that is where I am heading.
Meanwhile, here are the two I can’t tell apart. Face on they are easy to tell. One has a sharp line to the root of her beak and the other has a broader brown band. But this is the first time I have caught them both head on so I think I will take @bgmathteach’s advice and put a dab of green food dye on one of them. It is one of them that is very assertive and one who has a bit of a poopy bum and has been a bit lethargic but I am not sure if it is the same one.

Oh, and I have a camera hog.

Your camera hog is practicing their "Grumpy Chicken" look already.

Indeed! I think it is a Legbar special pose.
