Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Barred from what? Or where?

Oh my. That was an @featherhead007 response. I would not be proud of that.

Happy Tuesday everyone. I saved this one from yesterday. I think I will have at least 2 with floppy combs.

I bet almost all of them flop. Maybe you get 1 straight comb.

I am very glad that you are enjoying them and that they are living up to their reputations.

Looking through the pictures I took, I found my bird’s eye view of the mountains here. View attachment 3507183

Fantastic!

You guys talking about shorts, and I am investigating a Hazmat suit. TICKS! One fell out of my PJs in the bathroom as I was getting ready for bed last night.
I am under siege it appears.

You need a wide brimmed hat, long sleeves, and gloves to outside. How awful.

I try to find agitating where she is lit well and capture that glow. It's one of the many wonders of white chickens.

I am trying to reverse engineer 'agitating' in my mind. But I am failing.
I do have a white chicken to share however.

Lighter colored clothing may help to show the ticks easier.

These were the pictures I took of them yesterday. 2 of them have smaller combs then the others. You are right, they may all end up flopping and that 2 of them are just slower developing. In another month or two I may be able to finally for sure tell them all apart and they can no longer all be Peep. Until then, it is still Peep 1, Peep 2 and so on.

One of them also squatted and allowed none other then Twig to breed her yesterday evening. This is the first time I had saw them allowing any attention from the boys so that first egg is really not that far away. Twig is proving to be popular these days.

Just love a big comb!

Yup. White hazmat suit would be perfect!
