Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

“Buff Rock” would be interesting

If that's what she is, expect similar body shape/size/egg color as your "Rock Garden" as she would simply be a different color scheme from them. Need more well lit, clear, close pics to try to tell (for the others too, but any excuse for more chick pics is good anyway)

Don’t be fooled by their cuteness, these Two are a terror if together.
If they were human, they’d be sitting in juvenile detention already! View attachment 3810406

What they don’t poop in you ear

Oooh, I like this one!

Ok Lexus for one it is - you do know I can’t tell those yellow ones apart

This picture was not easy to capture. You know baby chick blurr. But I get results when I train them young! View attachment 3810384

Looks like your white one has white skin (looks pink), so not Leghorn, Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island White (dunno what those chicks look like either), but doesn't eliminate hybrids of those breeds.

I think @rural mouse may owe SHRA tax….

She just hopped up for a visit what a brat!

Not so. Simply means 2 of us like Mercedes. The rest are different. You could go with Mercy for a nickname.

I'm wondering if the white one is a California or Austra White. Both are newer hybrids that seem fairly popular. Not sure what the difference is, but 1 of them usually has a couple of black spots near the base of the tail as adults.

Give it time. Eventually you'll be able to.

All I know is that Sir Jaffar adopted them as his own:

 

[Pastel the Rooster]

I’ve been very busy with school recently. I have state testing the next two weeks, and right now I am in my way to FFA state convention.

Willow loves her chicks. She is taking very good care of them, and they love her.

BBQ has dropped in the pecking order drastically, which worries me. She has always been the second in command, but the past few days she has dropped a few places. I believe that the current pecking order goes like this: Splotch, Bolt, Eli, BBQ, the three TSC chooks, and Willow is somewhere in the pecking order,
BBQ has always put everyone in their places. When Willow was raising the TSC chicks last fall, she would chase Willow and around that time I got Eli. She would chase Eli too.
Now, Willow is chasing BBQ, and BBQ runs away screaming, but every time Willow goes after Eli, Eli chases her away. BBQ is also not the first to eat food. She has been waiting until everyone eats before she eats. Splotch and her have always had an amazing relationship, but I saw Splotch go after BBQ and start pecking her. It worries me.

I didn’t really like the Polishes. They weren’t very social and they were terrified of me. All of the sudden, one of the chicks just randomly started flying out of the brooder every time I would open the lid. I named her Nyx. Now every single one of them fly out and run around and climb on me. They are all sweet, and I know their personalities and can tell them apart. I mean, I have leg bands on them, but I can tell them apart from their personalities and topknots as well.
I worry that Athena may be a rooster. She has been attacking my hands (like, not friendly.)
This is Athena (or Athens? What do you guys think?)

This is Nyx. Athena is the only chick I am not 100% sure the sex of. I want her to be a rooster.
