Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

I’m coming up with names for the game bird clan.
-Chick-fil-a
-Gizmo
-Elsa
-Esther

Work in progress

How about:

Adair, Agnew, or Blazon, Baillie, Bissett? All related to sCottish Clan names - and some have great mottos (the clan mottos!)

That Mulberry comb looks like a problem. Can a vet surgically trim the comb to keep the feathers from pushing into his eyes? W/ our Silkies it's a daily vigil to make sure there's no feathers in their eyes.

She can just trim or pluck the feathers!

I have a game rooster needing a name

My experience - this is when an adult is 'greeting' young chickens/chicks. They gently lean down and look at the chick - indicating an 'introduction' and calm acceptance/greeting

Roosters will often do this with chicks being raised by a broody - to imprint on them and introduce themselves (sorry my words aren't the best at explaining - but this is a GOOD thing - Hazel is acknowledging and accepting them.)

Michigan has a "livestock protection law" which allows killing dogs that harass livestock, including poultry.
However, all states have their own set of rules!

You can kill a dog here that is attacking your chickens or other livestock as well. That doesn't address the compensation issue for the loss of a dear pet.

Agnew? I can only picture the headless body of Spiro Agnew from Futurama.

It's A Party!

We celebrated Hattie’s Hatchday today.

Everyone enjoyed the party together.

Except Lady Featherington who would not come over. Don't worry, I took her a piece all her own.
