Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

See and I should know this, the splash part at least but I forgot about splash. In theory if I wanted to and Gryffyns blue chick is a male I could hold it back and try for splash with my blue girls. Nope, that blue chick had better be a chunky girl, I do not need any more males.

I hear ya - two here I know of, and who knows with those Silkies, and seems that there will be a total of 10 hatched at my nieces school. I am awash is chicks it seems.

I am over the baby thrill also it seems

I know what you mean - that Curly is a fast one to steal my toast all the time!

They sure do look awesome - you are doing a splendid job with them.

They look like they are capable of actually punching someone

Yes they sure did look like thugs didn't they - ready to rumble for sure!

SO my silkies still need names. The roo that is crowing is gonna be named Mando from Mandalorians lol, Star Wars is my favorite. I think I know which one it is. And he is partridge not splash. So 1 partridge, 1 blue, 1 grey, one splash. the splash comes closest to me.
I quit taking the Lithium I started it a month before I got sick, I was on and am starting to feel better. I started twitching at night when going to sleep, even hit myself in the face a couple of times lol.
But for the past 2 days my right side of my back and hip are out and I cant walk very well. Have a drs appt. on the phone in 40 minutes.

Seems the boys are starting young this year! My silkies are just 2 weeks younger then my trio and I just cannot see them doing much of anything they are still so wee and tiny.

It's warmer, but very mucky from all the rain, we need a nice good HOT breeze to dry things up - but that is not likely. The HOT weather is out west with all the wild fires - crazy year.

I did manage to get the 2 mamas out with the babies this morning for a bit. Those Silkie babies are very 'slow' - the fourth chick which is a mutt is way more advanced, and running and leaping everywhere. Those Silkies are just so darn tiny, and just don't seem to want to follow the mamas. I had to pick them up and bring them back to the Hen House as the mamas were trying their best to scream at them to follow and they wouldn't, the fourth chick no problem, but the other three - nope I hate to call them dumb, but they seem very stupid.

Oh they can eat and pack the grub away, but they just don't seem motivated to run after the mamas.

lol lil silkies are so cute

2 fer: caught in the midst of Sunday's fightView attachment 3498681They're still locked in the garage, where if they get into it again, they can't hurt anyone else.

They even found places to roost...View attachment 3498713View attachment 3498714And got themselves down while I was opening the coop.

Wow they are really not settling in are they. Great roost spots though.

Lady Hen-Rietta stayed the night with me, and she was fed and ate a little breakfast this morning. She is such a sweet lady, but she told me she needed to go back home to the coop. Leghorns will show true love and are serious about affection. If they don’t want to lap sit, they won’t. (My lady does and shows me)

Lap sitting leghorns are the best.
