Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

My ears will ring every day for the rest of my life. It's a side effect of a med I have to take. Some times are worse than others but it is omnipresent.

Crap! So sorry to hear that how sad.

I've Never Seen an Orpington do That!

Aster just flew the length of the pool, 38 feet, at a height of 4 feet without dropping.

From in front of the camera to the chairs in the distance.

I’m starting to think that Rudy is getting too big for snuggles.

Flopsy update

She is improving every day, her limp is getting better;

tonight she was wanting to roost with her sisters in the Hen House. I told her no way kiddo, she is back in the crate. That’s her in the middle, Topsy to the left, Twister to the right - stuck in the middle again…

Twister is such a funny wee lady, and look at those black specks!

I received no blue egg blessing today.

Our Blue egger & our Chocolate egger were never consecutive layers maybe 2x week ~ but the eggs were L/XL.

The White Leghorn however layed L/XL eggs sometimes 8 days in a row as a pullet & that was alarming to me. The Buff Leghorn layed Lg tinted eggs 2-3x week ~ the breeder was trying to perfect the breed to lay all white eggs but I suspect using a Buff crossbreed to get a Buff Leghorn passed on the brown egg gene so don't known if it was ever corrected. I never got any more Legs after them.

Meanwhile DH cooks me up a Silkie over-easy egg on a pkg'd waffle for breakfast most mornings. There's always 1 or 2 broody Silkies at the same time there's 1 or 2 laying Silkies every day.

This morning's Silkie single box pileup ~ Suzu, Keiko, & Mika or maybe one is Betta, who knows?

Any clue why some moult hard while others don't?

Thoroughly growing into majestic looks.

He is as feisty as ever with us humans. Éowyn bullies him at times. He is a joy

He has such a darling face. And looks like an imp! Does he get away with a lot?

Good. You want her to build up gradually, not start laying and do one EVERY day! It's better for her long term health.
