Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I really miss that hen!

Way more white on her sides and breast than I see in pictures, is that what you mean?

Yes. Way more white on the body and white on her chest too instead of reddish.

She was. Smart too!

She is. And she doesn’t look like any pictures I have seen.
I sent a picture to the breeder and he said he had never seen one like her before.
He thought she looked very cool.
Assumed it was some mutation.
Now I am hoping he doesn’t ask for her back to breed from her!!
I will be curious to see if she changes as she ages and maybe ends up looking like she is supposed to - for now we know I have a truly unique little chicken!

This isn't the best picture of mine, but it will have to do for now:

The lighter one is top row far right, darker one top row far left. The darker one fades to white, just like the one facing us - but has much less white overall then the far right one. (If you look at the darker one, you see bottom center of her fluffy butt is almost full white....she just has more light barring on her sides and neck than the lighter one.

I'll try for better pics tonight (might not get home in time to get some before it gets to be 'dark-thirty'), otherwise, I most definitely will get some for you for the weekend for comparison to Sylvie

She was. Smart too!

I was installing the new transmission in my car, and I asked her for a 9/16” open ended wrench. She beaked me a 1/2” boxed wrench instead. At least she tried!

These chickens!!!

Kasumi and Liara enjoying the old potting soil I gave them

Kasumi growing in some beautiful feathers! (Don't worry the kid did not pet the butt! She was moving up to the wing to stroke it)

And Shep prefers to sit on arms, but this is acceptable for outside the run. These two are the only ones that I feel are calm enough to come out for a quick pet. Kiddo has been so helpful feeding them and bringing them lovely sticks, she deserves to feel their soft feathers too!
