Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I have been watching Agatha Christie movies all week, but tonight’s is just really odd! It’s called The Pale Horse. Not sure about ot but both what I eggspect from an Agatha Christie movie. And of course now I am invested in watching the whole movie to see how it ends…

Stupidly! That’s how….



What a waste of 2.5 hrs - worst Agatha movie ever!

Ok all have a splendid evening I am off to do chores, have a lovely night.

Mystery epic fail tax - no mystery here these two are cute!

Kiddo gave her a chicken nugget on the way


And I was mistaken, I got three young fellas. Very cute, they will join the rangers soon.

Splash copper marans cockerels, youngest are 3 months and the older is 5 months.
My dad scared off a hawk that had landed in our yard earlier. All the birds had hidden away thank goodness.

I am glad to hear it is finally out and you are getting some relief.

This was clearly on the way to affecting my brain. The head pain was as bad as my gum and jaw . It even caused bladder issues. I've ordered milk thistle incase my liver and kidney has been attacked with it to

I haven’t been on BYC much at all this week. I have been very sick. Too sick to see a doctor. I asked
Paul to check on me once a day.
He’s a great wing man! He takes care of my plane (when I can’t come to the hanger.

Yep, sweet Marans ~ so owners told me... but sadly our Cuckoo never was.

I have had multiple cuckoo marans - and I agree they aren't as laid back as the BCMs I have had - I have never found them to be bullies. Not quite as large as my BCM (but still good sized), a bit more 'active' within the flock (i.e. a bit more assertive), but none have been bullies - not in any way. Granted, I have only had a few (3 100% Cuckoo marans, 1 which was a rooster - a GOOD rooster), and I have had multiple that were mixes - offspring from either the hens or the roo...with someone else. Basically, barnyard mutts what were wonderfully diverse and great hens in their own right.

All I can say is: each chicken has it's own personality - but my experience is that cuckoo are friendly, intelligent, and 'in command', but in no way bullies/meanies.
