Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

I'm going to see if I can 3d print some boots for her. I need to fix my big printer yet again these darn hi-tech devices are killing me!
She's had a great appetite today, she definitely ate her share or more of the cat food. Tomorrow I'm scrambling up a double yolker with some poultry b vitamin for her. Snowball is loving the pampered life too, she even let me stroke her wing earlier.

That is so sweet. I do hope she can get booties quickly, even cardboard shoes w/ vet wrap in the interim... chicks grow/develop fast every single day. Always something w/ these birds but I haven't ever regretted one day w/ them

Ok so the Noirans have names. Can’t remember who suggested the french names but I chose a few for the chickies

Odette
She has this strange curly tail happening.

Virginie
She is the darkest of them all, and has fabulously feathered feet.

Gisèle
She has a lovely Rufus coloured breast and also has lovely feathered feet, even more heavy than Virginie.

Vera
This was my grandmother’s name, not french but I like it, and Vera was the first to hop up on me and to grow in her tail.

Those are the girls tonight, they are growing and going everywhere.

Yep even up in trees! That’s Odette…

I'm thrilled w/ your Vera choice... it's my Mom's name which means truth/faith. In Russian it is pronounced Vetta & my sis's name is Betty so we combined the 2 names to honour Mom & sis...

...so here's our "Betta" when a chicklet

TeeHee They keep us guessing...

One is heads & one tails but which is which?

She was hoping too add pictures after arrival to her destination but we've had a rather big storm here and my phone dodgy phone has been losing signal all day.

Hope wherever you both are hasn't been too badly affected.

TY for sharing your roo experience since we were never able to keep ours

Sorry you can’t have a roo. It changes the entire flock structure .

 

[featherhead007]

Now I have to poke my beak in here

I'd be frantic.
I hope you can work out who's attacking these little ones Alex. You can't leave them hurting the little ones just when they feel like it.

Marie, I’m doing all I can do just to protect the others in my custody. I spent all afternoon with Nacho and her little one because she needed help. Both were fed well crops full when I carefully delivered the two back safely to the coop. Nacho is almost blind. It’s so sad. But I made Nacho a promise, I will watch over her only baby as long as I live. Nacho, don’t worry, sweet mama

I can’t seem to get a good picture but Mr. Chips is developing bright green feathers in his tail and some around his shoulders.
They are much brighter green than these picture show.

I am still getting my mind around the whole rooster thing, but there is no denying he is a good looking fella.

He sure is.

Well I don’t yet have any roo experience. All I have is an overly energetic cockerel whose fate I am still weighing.
He will take blueberries from my hand - but I am convinced he would snatch a blueberry from a fox if such an opportunity arose. He is very fast when it comes to blueberries.
He appears from nowhere and almost immediately disappears again, and somehow where once was a blueberry there is no longer a blueberry!
Tax: the blueberry thief

Castor's look says 'Really, mom, do I have to put up with this? Will you look at him?'

"You are trying my patience, little one!"
