Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Posy is a puzzler. Nothing's jumping out at me either, other than those reddish tips....which aren't what I would expect from the rusty shoulders roo look.

I believe the mom is silver laced Polish. Dad is silkie, he has several and they were all in a winter pen together when the egg was laid.
I'm going to be optimistic that they are a sweet girly and will be my boss broody to raise babies.

Wait...mom was a mixed "pink egg" polish. So that adds yet another bit of genetic goober

I have a few name ideas (maybe they'll spark an idea for you).

Dove
Jonquil
Bliss
Silk
Peony (although I see that for a fluffy Cochin)
Sweet Pea
Dahlia
Pansy
Lavender

Sorry, but only Giz has earned his name so far.

That would make any offspring 1/4 real chicken

Not yet

No name yet for her, but I was thinking about calling her “OUCH!”
Because I say that quite often when she’s around.

Nosy Posy update
The boys are giving me no hints, they neither chase or grab this little fluff. Comrade may have done a bit of foot stomping, but no drop wing.
They don't fight being held anymore, which is good for me haha.
I definitely see brown feathers on the shoulders and tail, and maybe a couple on the neck. No sign of glossy saddle feathers coming in yet. All visible feathers are round and normal texture. Age is 13 weeks.

Sadly, there’s no medical cure for that ailment. Sorry Janie

“Pink egg Polish”, that sounds almost rude enough to use in an argument!
“You’re so pink egg polish, you don’t know anything!”

I was panicking a few minutes ago.
I ran out of treats for the chooks. I didn’t want to give them any more corn or bread, but I didn’t want them to hate me for not having something.
I decided to get into my personal stash of fresh blueberries, and dried cranberries. This made them all happy for a few minutes. Disaster averted!

Time for a bath! (They didn't actually take a bath)
