Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

They mature quickly in your parts.

Yes, they do! I have a cockerel called Sir Cuckoo who is about 6 weeks old and he is already step dancing for me and trying to mate with my hand.

WHAT THE BLEEP???



How did Mrs Clean-egg get Peronitis??
Today she wasn't herself, just sitting in the corner doing nothing. Both she and I knew it was her time, but I don't have the gut to do the processing so I called my friend that obviously has a stronger gut. The worst part was that I had to hold her legs while my friend processed.

Anyway, I had come across @ManueB's thread about her hen Caramel, that from what I believe died of peronitis as well. So when I saw that burst yolk ALL over her insides, I knew.
She had a LOT of water inside her, and those burst yolks. Little to no feed in her crop.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I was astonished when he started crowing, but when I heard him tidbitting I almost cried

If he starts getting hormonal then what?

It’s the trying to get them to stand still that is the problem!

Yes. Eli continues to be completely nutso.
We are on day 19.
This is what Bernie has to deal with. Look how big Eli can make herself!

She looks like an angry Penguin flapping her wings like that!

Don't cross bridges until you reach them. Whiskey is in the middle of hormonal idiocy (age wise) but isn't abnoxiously atrocious about it (Kren and Horus would grab a girl and queue up, or attempt when one would try to lay an egg, their fight was final straw). Wait and see. Hector got walloped by Twirp who drew blood (wattles) early on and he's been pretty gentle ever since. (Wish she'd have walloped the dingalings too)

Ok all, have an awesome evening, I am off to try for some sleep, I am pooped my back is like being sawed in two, still have a background migraine and I got a good crack on the noggin with a plant trellis while mowing the grass.

I am sure my RLS will have me up again on a couple hrs catch those of you out west then hahahaha!

Mr P has. ‘V’ comb (from what I read), it’s apparently uncommon.
