Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

If I can win over the mama hen, I’ll be in! So far that’s a no go.

Give it time, she doesn’t know you, and is thinking of her wee ones.

I wonder what breed she is?

Ahhhh! And a partial crest....hmmm...Penne may be 3/4 crested: big enough to provide a stylish hat, small enough to not interfere with her eyesight (maybe). I'm even more intrigued with her!

So far she has very few feathering, just her wings, an almost non existent tail, and still baby fuzz everywhere else. She is different from Sophia’s babies (Tippy and Rico).

I seem to feel that the three Tweens were more feathered, and larger at her age. I wonder if it has something to do with being broody raised rather then hand raised.

I was just thinking of her today! How is she getting on?

I spoke too soon and was looking in the wrong direction View attachment 3513962View attachment 3513963She went to visit down below instead.

All those nice bugs crawling all over that horse manure is a gold mine for chickens!

She's doing well. We're going to move her outside tonight in a small pen with her daughter. This way she can free range every day and be with chickens again.

Martina at approx same age (and she is 1/2 silkie).

Penne who has two normal sized parents

Maybe they are similar in size at that age.

I am so glad she is doing so well!

Had to run home to download 2 video's. Like a idiot I did not delete the memory card on my camera. I realize it halfway through Rosie's first class Juvenile Pleasure. I will upload the video's later but Rosie cried. She got her first ever first place on Russ.

Broodies keep their distance most of the time: protecting their chicks. She's coming to your place for food. Big step. Is the coop open so she can investigate on her own?

Yeah it is

Best guess from this picture .
Close as I could get to the little ones and her.
