Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Glad the "Great Mysterious White" turned up.

Maybe I should have named her Miss Tree?

@ManueB ~ synopsis! TY!

The name is super cute, when did you start doing this because I think I'm kind of late to it lol.

This thread started back in Jan 2019 if that is what you are asking.,

My heart is breaking

This morning I heard a new crowing in the barn. Clyde. It was expected, but still was disheartening.

But the heart breaker was my witnessing him and Georgie going at tooth and nail outside. And they just wouldn’t stop! They both meant business.

I dragged the all inside as it was pelting down rain (another heart break more rain), put the silkies and youngest chicks in their pen. And again they went back at it. This time Clyde got poor Georgie down and wouldn’t let him up.

So Clyde is in with the chicks and Georgie out with the rest of the gang.

I will never hatch eggs again. It’s too heart breaking.

Now I have 5 cockerels to get rid of. What sort of crazy chicken math is this?

We've had b*tchy Silkie hens go at each other jumping 4' in the air trying to claw each other w/their slipper feet. Only happened once that we saw but it was scary!

So sorry your Silkies aren't pullets. It's why we don't hatch eggs or give eggs to broodies cuz of the heartbreak of getting roos

Had a terrible week as Rosie was the collateral victim of a fight at school, getting a severe blow to her teeth. We are all grateful she will be getting the necessary care and hope her pain will ease. Rebecca once again impressed us all by showing what she can do for her family, aiming to keep a cool head while fighting for her daughter to be taken care of as she should.
