Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

If she weren't a silkie, I'd say she's going to be Colombian marked. All my splash chicks were 100% fluffy yellow, no grey tones. The yellow/grey blend always got more color.

I think we're going to have to wait and see for this one. And it's possible the grey tones I'm seeing are actually the black skin showing a bit.

As it seems our experienced chicken tenders and geneticists are flummoxed, I will lean in and help you all out with what she is.
Obviously, when you have as much experience as I do, you can tell immediately what she is: a pretty chicken!
You are welcome!

Now it is true that I did have to consider this a bit because I understand there is a debate about whether she is any kind of chicken, but in this case I am quite convinced. Pretty chicken it is!

[Ponypoor]

Just spent a little over an hr mowing th grass with BIL’s lawn tractor and I have to say that the hydrostatic drive is terrible! I cannot spend 2-3 hrs pressing down on a gas pedal with 100lb/in squared (ok an over exaggeration) - my leg and back are killing me! And do you think I can find a transmatic drive lawn tractor out there??? No! What is it doesn’t anyone know how to drive a manual gear shift anymore?!

Just as well - cheaper to hire someone likely.

Ok here is the lawn mowing tax

Twister

Jolly

I love how you did the daily theme photos

Why is my rooster so much louder than usual today? He’s destroyed my chicken room, spilled water everywhere, feed everywhere and only ate a little bit of scrambled eggs I made for him. I hope he’s not sick. He certainly has energy… the brat!

You THINK you know how to operate it?

I laughed so much I frightened Nancy

@Sylvester017 said Roosters are so regal

Stop eating Subway sandwiches with your tea!

I wouldn't want to eat a subway sandwich
I honestly don't know what people see in them.

Let outside! He likely wants his lady friends.

Meanwhile Mr P has once again been picked - sheesh!
