Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I'm frequently stumped.....and it usually sparks a trip down an investigative rabbit hole....


Edit: the rabbit hole: there's a snow leopard pattern?!

Yes, the lady I got mine from has a sno Roo but not the sno leopard.

Here is what she says about hers. I think perhaps Thyme could end up looking like this guy?

Excerpt:
“The rooster above is a blue based millefleur, rather than black based like the hens at the top of the page. He is also what is often referred to as Sno, which in this breed means they have a gold dilution of the reddish base color to a straw gold, rather than the darker red normally seen on a rooster.”

Some depressing news - It’s with a heavy heart I share this. The call to pick up the chicks came today. They were just shipped out yesterday which I thought was great news. However, it wasn’t, not a single chick made it through the shipping process.

They will refund everything but darn if it doesn’t sting. I should have driven up to get them, I knew it and I picked convenience instead. They are three hours away. I feel so guilty and sad.

I found a name for this little girl.
I’m calling her Elsa. Because what in the else would I call her?

Darn that is very sad. I will pray for you. You had no control over the USPS maybe you could drive to get your next time. I know how you feel, and I have much sympathy towards you right now

Logically, I know it’s not my fault at least not directly, but emotionally it feels horrible. Thank you. I think I will just look closer to home, I would rather rehome Roos then open a box like that again.

Rain, Rain Go Away

It has been cloudy with rain here since Friday. The girls are so tired of being wet they are now roosting during the day to stay off the wet ground.

Well that’s a very strange thing please don’t blame yourself, it was not your fault.

Thousands of chicks get shipped every year, I would be discussing this with the postal service. So sad, sending huge hugs your way.

And I’m not very good at sympathy
