Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think they meant by the end of 2024.....

Meanwhile last I looked Peavey Mart still doesn’t have their 2024 chick catalogue out. I just bet they just have the same as last year and don’t have the Appenzeller Spitting-chicken I so want.

Oh just check again and it’s up, and I am terribly disappointed. None that I want are there in the list

No Dak Brahma
No Cuckoo Marans
No spitshaben

Maybe if I contact Hoovers they can put my order in with theirs to ship cross border.

Here’s a look inside the newly redone extension! There are weak points I won’t be able to get to in time, but I doubt they’ll be found out by the vermin this week.
This part of the run is cluttered up and down, except for a strip that I get to walk along. The obstacles are very well utilized!

A preening party hosted by the old gals! They’re celebrating having had a nice morning out free ranging. Perry is included, since Quincy invited her.

How is the small farm hatching scene up there? Around the US there are gazillions of small farm operations that specialize in a couple of breeds or five, and sell those eggs/chicks, and are able to ship if they’re NPIP certified. Could you try for your Brahmas/Marans that way?

Our feed mill can order them and just about anything. I don't know who they go through though.

We don’t have anything as such, there are some hatcheries here but they basically have production breeds only for eggs and meat.

There is one place here Performance Poultry I can get some specialty birds from but they don’t ship- it’s about a 4 hr drive from me.

I will call Hoovers Monday and see if they can include a shipment with Peavey.

You guys have 10x as many people down there, so your options are greater

Ok well I need to try for some sleep you have a good night!

They do have light and buff brahma......

@Ponypoor not so sure you want dark brahma....

Belladonna is demonstrating she's part monkey. Drinking from the stream I'm pouring into the waterer in the coop while perched on the bank of nesting boxes above the waterer....
