The rain and 65 mph wind is kicking up badly.... the chooks only got out for about 6 minutes before the rain break was over. Here they are now.

Spurred by a Cactus Spine
Let everyone out when I finally got home, Butterscotch tried to mud bathe and this is the results!Rain and rain and rain and rain
And such sadness about that automobile accident.
I let the chooks loose to go scratch in the mud. And I need to go to tractor supply for a few things.
Weekly Synopsis Feb 24 to Mar 2
First off an apology for any errors - I am extraordinarily tech challenged this week and keep missing stuff!
Last week's synopsis is available here:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27516868
This week many of us got very interested in Chicken colors and the genetic differences (blue, lavender etc.). As well as some really educational posts, many of us used it as an excuse to post pictures of our lovely chickens as examples of particular colors.

@BeastBaby
Has a poorly hen named Albert - @ManueB weighed in with some helpful reminders for us all regarding poorly chickens and it looks like maybe Albert is feeling a bit better, but there is definitely something not right with her - hope she recovers soon.

She is dealing with some equipment failures possibly due to installation of shoddy parts. We should all be aware of this!

Shared the sad news that Cannelle, one of her first ex-Batts has died. There is a link to a beautiful tribute to Cannelle just before the first picture in this post. Fare well and fly high Cannelle.

@Ponypoor
Is continuing her long list of breeds she may add this year. I am now totally confused and it is possible she is too!
In addition to prior lists, this week she added: Midnight Majesty Marans, Exchequer Leghorns, Light Brahmas, Crested Cream Legbars, Dark Brahmas, Buff Brahmas, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Lavender Orpingtons, Speckled Suspects, Buff Orpingtons
Or maybe just hatched Silkies

@RoyalChick (that's me) got all excited that her flock were taking integration to the next level by almost all roosting together. Minutes after the picture was taken, they changed their minds and moved elsewhere!

That is all I have folk - I hope the links work and if they do it is a miracle as it is the only technology that has worked for me. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks! I had forgotten about the colour chit chat!Weekly Synopsis Feb 24 to Mar 2
First off an apology for any errors - I am extraordinarily tech challenged this week and keep missing stuff!
Last week's synopsis is available here:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27516868
This week many of us got very interested in Chicken colors and the genetic differences (blue, lavender etc.). As well as some really educational posts, many of us used it as an excuse to post pictures of our lovely chickens as examples of particular colors.

I enjoyed seeing all the Blue, Lavender, and other color ladies and while I don't want to crow about it (see what I did there?!) I would say I am beginning to get the hang of blue and lavender!

In Chicken News....
@BY Bob
Has another layer coming off winter break
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27517552
He also shared that there was 'an incident' at Fluffy Butt Acres. He tried to tell us that everyone was OK - but we worried anyway about his ladies until he told us the details of what had happened. Turns out it is @BY Bob we need to worry about!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27535030
Bob also tried to teach us about pecking order using this video of cabbage eating at FBA. You will notice that Bob himself never gets to try the cabbage. And after the incident, are you surprised?!

I think you have to get it straight from Batty Ol' Hens. Their lawyers sue the daylights out of anyone who dares to resell.

Do you think I care? No. We don't do meteres either.
