Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Obviously hair/fur/feathers in meat shouldn't be an issue but that realization becomes reality w/ a bite of meat that contains foreign objects in it

Oops I didn’t mean to change anyone’s words.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to change your post. I wrote over your post by accident.

That's why I hesitate to add a Wyandotte to my flock, they're very assertive!

I love the guy, that’s for certain. He’s just a bit rambunctious. I had no control over what I received free from my pastor. He also gave me another free bag of feed today.
I’m always giving him and his wife free eggs.

Thank you.
She's in such a lovely environment for her now. Which has given me a huge lift.

I tried not to mention my problems. I put them at the back of my mind. But had to be a little more sensible because for sometime now I have been putting my life in danger.

It's okay taking the odd risk but I've my other animals and family to think about, life isn't all about oneself.

How are you? It's been ages since we have interacted.

I’m glad you are being more safe now. I have been fine. I’m having some heart issues, which is worrisome, but I see a cardiologist in two weeks.

The Darlings, as I call the hens, have been doing pretty well. They’re almost all through molt. I had to tube feed Minnie Minnie through part of it, and now she enjoys snuggles, even though she was raised by Cashew!

Here are the girls a couple weeks ago…

I heard the same thing about Wyandottes as well as Marans or Rhode Islands, yet others report they had nice ones. I'm guessing it all depends on the breeds put together in a flock, depends on temperament of each individual bird, environment conditions can affect how birds get along in a flock, adding new birds can also change mood dynamics in a flock. & then some chicks can hatch out of an egg raring to run over other hatchmates on day one while other new chicks behave.

Although some breeds are reported to be more aggressive while some breeds are reported gentle, I personally believe alike breeds should be kept with their own kind. We have an all-Silkie flock now & they just seem to "understand" each other much better than mixing them w/ other breeds w/ aggressive reputations ~ although we have had Silkies mixed w/standard breeds before w/ peaceful results but we also had some bullying results too.

One just never knows how birds react, what set of circumstances shapes their temperaments. As owners we make the choices of breeds we think will work best for us.

They sure are spotty aren’t they?! Just lovely. Reminds me of Rural Mouse’s hen Mera.
