Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Here is a few of Lovette at a local place sharing an egg roll, watching TV and going for a ride…I tried to share video but they don’t show up.

Awwww. Adorable!


To share video most people upload their video to YouTube (or equivalent) and post the link in the thread.
There is a way to post video directly to BYC using the gallery feature. I did figure it out once but I have now forgotten how!

I have 11 Buff Orpingtons (10 Females/1 Roo). I had 12 but one went missing. Also, 10 PBRs (all hens) - actually lost one to a hawk last week. But, I got the final say in that before he took his first bite. He flew to a nearby tree, and I stood over the carcass. After a 5-minute standoff he left. My victory was, I gave the remains to a family of Buzzards. I also have 4 Buff Brahmas, and 4 Barred Orpington Xs (3 hens, and 1 Roo)-this last group are the eldest chicks. At 3 months - Lovey, I mean Lovette, He was Lovey until I learned she was a Roo. He went everywhere with me on my shoulder and for drives in the car. But he has already grown into his Roo duties. He protects his half-siblings quite dutifully and he has a crooner Crow. Kinda stretched out as if he was singing it out. I also have a 2-week-old Orpington hen, a 4-day old Orpington hen and a 4-day old Barred Orpington X. I have black australorps, lavender orpingtons, and seremas in the incubator now.

Sounds like you have a very lovely flock. When you get time pictures please. I for one personally never turn down pictures of gorgeous roo's and feathered feet.

Oh another tv watching chicken. See everyone, me and @featherhead007 are not completely crazy. Aww, it is a little roo. I have a soft spot for the boys. I adore my girls, but I LOVE my boys.

So lovette had a total of 14 sibling, most of whom were rehomed to chicken loving families - including Hannah. Hannah’s new family told me the story of how she and her husband were in bed for the evening and they heard knocking on the back door. The wife got up and found Hannah at the door and she came right in the house. Sheila said Hannah just wants to be close to her. And these are pics of her and Hannah that night…
