Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

I never considered OEGB bantams as a viable chicken but watching your videos & other online videos on them I am totally sold on them. They are sweet unafraid people-friendly & for all their sprite agility are calm during handling. It's no wonder that all bantams are a popular kids' show bird but OEGB excel at being handled. I have too small a yard that they'll easily fly over our wall but these sweeties sure would be a nice addition to a flock of smaller breed chickens, i.e. Polish, Silkies, Sultans, Brahma bantams, Cochin bantams (Pekins), Dominique bantams, etc....

Cute chicken card game also has an expansion deck. Can be played w/ 2 people but more than 2 is better. Age 8+ or younger if child is precocious. Good family game ~ too simple for serious game players. Plays in 20-30 minutes.

What is that a lottery ticket?

Not fair! You said GUESS! Then added a modification of picking ONE!

I win on sheer ingenuity alone plus, yes, I DO have the winning ticket ~ teehee!

Still wondering what the prize is?

Working at the theatre today, too much concrete around for pictures to load or post. Most of the crew here started at midnight last night, they are starting to get punchy! Another 1-9 hours to go depending on the crew. I came in at 9 and will be off at 9 this evening, but i am stitcher on the wardrobe crew. Lots of costume repairs on a touring show!

But sounds very interesting, what show is it?

Shakespeare maybe?

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”

It had enough challenge to be interesting w/ the expansion. I will play it again. It was a soft launch so not sure if its available yet. DH is a game convention staffer so he gets a lot of game promo trials.

Like any animal it’s all about the amt of time one spends socializing them, all animals - chickens included - require lists of careful quiet handling.

The only reason they are quiet is that I have handled them from day one. Of course there are those that have a proclivity towards being friendly, and then there are those that just don’t want to really have anything to do with us.

For instance the 4 babies that Sophia raised of them 3 were very friendly, and one (Cash) who is to this day still not overly friendly, even though I spent the same amt of time with them all.

I know right?! Seriously all the good stuff is always bad for us! Thankfully dairy is the really only thing I have issues with.

Of course sometimes you just have to have a spoonful
