Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Is the one in front a polish? What color is that? Tolbunt?

Yes, Versace is a Tolbunt Polish. (At least those were the eggs I bought.)

There's a chance either of those polish eggs could be a frizzle! I'm a fan of the feather dusters...

That's wild!

I am home! All chickens are accounted for and laid their eggs in the nest boxes as a treat for me!
One of my steps seems to have been destroyed by dust bathing, and my little chicken paths are definitely overgrown!

It's wonderful to have you back in the states. I bet the crew was glad to see you!

Sorry, I am hogging the thread. Just happy to be home and visit with my chickens. I need to go in now and find some cats. I am sure they are sulking.
Travel home tax: a pretty chicken

How do you say “Versace”?

Never mind, I looked it up, and received a quick Italian language lesson.
Pronounced the same way as my
Wyandottey!

Welcome home! Which committee was more pleased to see you? Furry Heating Pads, or Feathered Bug Extermination?

 

[rural mouse]

Really,? That soon ? They are only a few months old

Approx 5 months = 20 weeks = standard point of lay, and she looks to be 2-3 weeks away.

Well one cat is very happy to see me and is head butting me very hard at every opportunity and one cat hasn’t even come to say hello yet!
The chickens were all happy to be let out and definitely crowded around my legs for treats.
I am of course the one that is pleased to see all of them!

Looks on track for it too. Mysterious Aster.....I'm thinking Rhode Island white or white Plymouth rock
