Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Does your mail get stolen?
The USPS doesn’t deliver to me - I have a PO Box at the Post Office.

USPS Tax: babies survived the night and seem to be believers in a hearty breakfast.

They're gorgeous

You would love to have 2 or 3 of these running around.

I did not give them the Gro-Gel - the lady said it was just electrolytes and by the time i got home and realized they were too small for my usual chick waterer I forgot to mix it in to the water I gave them.
Maybe just stress - though compared to being shipped in the mail I don't think it was that stressful for them.
I wrongly thought they wouldn't eat in their first 12 hours so didn't give them food - stopped for water a few times - but no food. Maybe that stressed her out because they were all very keen to eat once in my bathroom.
And I believe chippy (I am really resisting naming them!) is a Speckled Sussex.
I basically got one of each non-bantam breed they had available on Monday. I was surprised how much they had cut back their hatching for the summer.

Tax: I know, you will all get bored - but I am besotted so keep taking photos!

Oh dear. The UPS mailer turns out to be no match for Geronimo - here she is assessing the height before backing up and running and flapping.
She got her toes onto the top before I batted her back!

So speculation on this thread is either a mix of Salmon Faverolle and Mottled Houdan, or mottled cochin bantam and white sultan mix.
Others have found them to be small too which is where the bantam in the mix idea came from.

Oh look at the little black and white fluffy. Enough to melt a frosty heart
