Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Oh, I see. So much info flies by on this thread that I miss a lot of it I think. Well, that is such great news that Nacho has never left the yard or her eggs/babies.

Wow 4 light coloured chicks! I wonder what colour they will end up?

Rosie has been laying very large eggs, not always this heavy, but still big.

Good afternoon everyone.

Today is a rough day and one with mixed emotions.
It is dad's birthday but it is proving so hard to feel up to celebrating. Today also marks 1 year that Grandma passed away and it hit hard as soon as I woke up. I think about her all the time. So much has happened in the last year that she would have loved. She never got to see George. She wanted a polish before her mind finally slipped. She would love the silkies I have accumulated and already have pushed me to have the incubator up and running and full of their eggs. My yard is full of the "wild" greens that she so loved I do not know why but I have had the urge to pick a mess full. I'm also setting myself up for a fight with the chickens but I brought several of her planters home last weekend. They are ready to go and by Tuesday will be full of black seeded simpson lettuce and green onions. That was one of our favorite meals in the late spring early summer, "Kilt" or wilted Lettuce and onion salad with fresh piping hot cornbread. It has been awhile since I have had a "bad" day. Today I'm having a bad day and I feel exactly how I felt a year ago.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Give you dada a hug and tell him happy birthday from me.

Probably end up looking like queso, the lighter one in this picture.

Leghorns can be quite loud. My orpingtons trend to be quiet ladies. My polish have always been pretty quiet as well.

Roos are exceptions... our Silke Partridge boy was obnoxiously vocal & often! Sadly the little cutie was sent back...

Are the plastics in the 3D chicken safe? Some things that are plastics can be toxic to breathe or eat off of? I don't know much about 3D.

What the heckle is this comb shape? It's some kind of hybrid I guess...
