Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Go check your adult ladies legs. They have the bump too. And some hens grow them too

The Roadrunners both had spurs - not just a bump.

Herons are common in our waterways, but rarely in our neighbors tree!

I'm sorry, I know you have mentioned the breed when you got the fertile eggs, but I have completely forgotten. What are they? They look like they will be a very rich Mahogany colour!

Took some individual pictures today of the babies. Brownie was unhappy with the photo shoot so we had to be quick about it.

Yep
No one is managing me. I don't need to be mananged

I don't need to be managed either!
I think the chooks need their phones managed. Too much Beakbook.

Agathae has some nice spurs. Josey has two huge spurs that are kind of gross.
Abigail is growing some. From the looks of it only Felicitas and Josephine can boss her around.

Very lovely. Fable looks like she has a topknot. Or is that just the breeze?
It is fascinating to see how their color changes.
I am seeing with Sylvie that she changes every day - much more gray than before.

This dirty girl needed a bath. She’s much better now!

@Ponypoor - I just noticed in this picture of Sylvie you can see the little spur bud on her right foot.
The breeder assured me she is a girl and Welbars can be sexed at hatch so I assume she is indeed female in spite of the spur buds.

She “shouldn’t” have a top knot however stranger things have happened. I actually think it is just her head pin feathers poking up. It fascinating how much and how quickly they change, I agree!
Sylvie is turning into a beautiful pullet, she looks like she might just end up looking like a light brahma color pattern wise.

Thanks yes I did, I am just wanting to see how many Roos I have to deal with.

Yes my adult hens all have the buds on their legs also.

I was a bit worried that I would have 10 Roos hahaha!

Bad Kelly !
