Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Isn't her hen that is always broody a buff colored hen, or am I going crazy?
Her names Chiqulita or something like that?

I lose track of names, but I never forget a beak!

The ultimate 2 for Tuesday. Empty nest and yet we must fight for the same one.

And yes folks, that would be Chiquita under Blueberry.

Is she a buff silkie?

It won't let me post pictures.... I've tried clicking the button but it won't work...
I have pictures of BBQ's foot though.

Can you try rebooting device? Closing out of the BYC app and logging back in?
Clearly the site is working for pics as several of us have posted pics.
Maybe PM to @notabitail as our tech expert.
I think those of us keen to help you with BBQ's foot would be able to give much better guidance if we saw pictures.

Sheba and Eenie both trying to be in one nest. View attachment 3549467

I've decided neither are broody. I think Eenie just wants Manny to stay the heck off her! She was on the roost this morning.

You can try a hen apron to protect her back and feathers. Getting additional hens also will help since you only have a few hens.

I would still stockpile eggs incase she is broody.

Chukki is a very happy go lucky chick and was completely oblivious to Penny's growls!
View attachment 3549476Chukki is a Leghorn Cross. I keep wondering when she will get her white feathers. She is such a sociable chick. I don't pick up my chicks unless necessary, but Chukki jumps up on me and settles down for a snooze whenever I sit down!

Awwww such a sweetie, those are the ones that are special

It's been a hectic day for myself and my worker friend. I thought I'd lost him today because ebay keeps messing up with my purchases. But luckily he gave me a second chance.

I added sand to the coop but have to leave wood chips down as well as it's very expensive and I don't have the funds to completely fill the run. But I came up with a temporary solution by spreading some info the run an added two bowls of it for them too bath in. They're not to keen yet but I'm hoping they will see the bennifit soon.

I am sure they will appreciate it in the winter when there is no dirt to fluff in!
