Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Sigh. I really wish if there is a cockerel in the silkie group he would let himself be known. The last month several silkie cockerels and roosters have been listed. I have resisted them all. Yesterday I came very close to cracking. A paint silkie rooster was listed, 30 minutes away. Oh I wanted him. Thankfully he had already sold by the time dinner was over and family left and I was able to sit back down at the computer. I cannot fold yet and jump on a rooster. If I do have one in this group he is staying, I am attached to them all. It would not be fair to buy one only to have to turn around and rehome him if I do have a boy.

Oh! My Falafel won the photo caption contest. Do head over there and give her some funny captions.

Love the steps (& the girls )!

Phew. Still recovering from wisdom teeth removal, been busy now on top of that the past few days... We got the bottom 4ft of the run wrapped with landscaping cloth a couple days ago. Just in time, because it snowed last night and it's snowing and it's going to keep snowing!

Tomorrow hopefully, if we get a break from the snow, we'll wrap most of the top with greenhouse plastic. I know it isn't strictly necessary to do this part, but the coop isn't very well insulated at all so I figure keeping the run better insulated will provide more protection until we can build a new coop.

We're going to wrap the door fully in greenhouse plastic.

They were reluctant to come out this morning. They're fine now

Sybil laid her second egg! This one is more brown compared to her first one yesterday.

Speaking of, I scrambled it for the girls this morning. The yolk was so rich!!!

Small but perfect. Good job, Sybil!

Some nice fluffy derrières there.

Can you believe the chicks have all grown up?!

On the last picture, I’m not really sure what breed of chook that is. Rudy seems to like her though.
