Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I don’t so much mind him roosting there, it’s the stinky gooey little presents he leaves me

Need another old sheet I guess, at this rate the whole barn is going to be covered in old sheets!

There you go again Kelly, talking sheet!

Oh yes that is what I keep thinking of when i see her!

Her colour pattern looks like them, another breed I would like to get. When I win that lottery

You don't want her to yet. If wattles popped now, late developing roo. She shouldn't pop much until she's getting close to laying.

Looks like for Rico, the v comb caused the straight comb to split. Could wind up looking kinda like a Buttercup (comb is almost a crown circle, unique to the breed. YES, @RoyalChick there is a breed of chicken called Buttercup). It could end up looking like a straight comb with a spray at the tip. It could end up looking like a bladed V comb, it could do other things too. Should be interesting to see how it grows.

Guess he will have to stay for a while longer in that case

To clean up the mess. But see how sly Hattie is. Nothing to see here. Just a gray chair of which I am the same color. It really was just her comb that drew my attention.

Smart old gal - she knows a good thing when she finds it! You go girl!

That one surprised me.

Did you investigate the beaks to find evidence of crumbs?

Did not have to. They ate a pint of them. It would have taken everyone to eat that much.

My husband mentioned a few times about getting guineas and I said everyone says they are loud like really really loud.
Then we were at trade days and someone had one and he nwas raising the roof. I pointed it out to my husband and he was like ohhh nooo now I understand.

It really is amazing how floofed out they can get when broody. I had no idea either and was throughly impressed at the floof level they obtain while broody.

Try being a Silkie and a frizzle to boot!!

I would like to get some Guinea’s but I am sure they would be out on my neighbours place in no time! Now worried about noise, but keeping them contained could be an issue.

Hey, I’m doing good tonight. I had cataracts surgery this afternoon, and can still do jokes! Next eye, next month

Buckeye hens have even smaller pea combs, very flat without much of a pointy end. Sometimes like a fleur de lis with a pattern on either side of the middle line

Yes I see why you mean. And yes they are what I would visualize as a pea comb.
