Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Georgie is a very special Partridge ~ Moorhead! So adorable!

She’s a funny little thing. And very jealous if I pay anyone else attention if she is around.

I feel she will soon lay eggs.

Govt/agricultural agencies red tape.

More likely cost/benefit balance. Likely too costly to vax when insurance will pay you out if your business is impacted.

They aren’t chickens to these factory farms, they are dollar bills.

We've been at the end of our cul-de-sac for almost 40 yrs. We were flooded w/Halloween treaters in the beginning but since the glut of criminal occurrences plus homeless problems in the last decade we've had zero treaters traffic. We stopped putting up decorations too. No one sends kids out after dark here.

Clyde is a butt-head at the moment, he is now fighting with the other cockerels, this morning he was taking on Shorty who is about three times his size.

Silkies ~ little bodies w/ the dreams & characteristics of any big chicken!

That too! Follow the $$$ to find the sin.

I recorded some aerial predator caution trills yesterday evening while that hawk was still hanging around. Volume up, they're pretty quiet! Aliss was almost non stop with the trilling. The others were pretty quiet but occasionally joined in

Chickens are so cool

Yes! Very cool!

Actually the answer is commercial interests. It is all about exporting chicken meat. The US is a major exporter of chicken meat. Some countries don’t allow imports of vaccinated meat.

Henny Penny I feel is not a satin silkie.

I think she is a cochin x silkie mix, she is extremely fluffy like a cochin. But she does have 5 toes and dark skin.

BFTP last December with Bert and Betty as chicks

There were bits of snow about and they were very intrigued by it.

But it soon lost its appeal hahaha - brrr!

Beautiful dark lacing is what prompted me once to want one. Gorgeous. How long was her lifespan?

Very short. Probably Marek’s.

The dark lacing is incredibly beautiful.

Poor chooks - it’s all about moola.
