Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

An Old Video

I promised this a while ago. Here are the girls a week ago when they saw the big run for the first time.

I could watch them for hours

She needed her flaps down and pull back on the speed a bit.
(Just saying)

Is it a bird or is it a plane

Most Definitely a bird Alex my friend
You are getting confused with your plane

 

[Marie2020]

Thinking back to your neighbor who owned them... that's probably why he kept them caged to prevent them fighting. Just thinking...you may need to bite the bullet & have a separate enclosure/run for the aggressive breed/birds to save your gentler birds from grief. That will enable you to gather fertile game bird eggs too before they hatch

Good advice

 

[Marie2020]

The ones he kept caged, were Pullets: queso, jalapeno and Frejole. I raised them- he took them

I'd definitely put some wire out in the day to keep the bullies away though. It's going to stop you from worrying so much and kinder for your sweet birds

if it was me I wouldn't stop panicking

 

[Marie2020]

I get a little miffed myself when someone tries to take my treats!
(Just saying)

Same

 

[Marie2020]

At my age I don't need speckled birds... I always see spots before my eyes anyway

Good evening everyone.

Life has been busy and I am almost 2 weeks and 80 pages behind.

I do have someone special I want to introduce to everyone.

Meet Eggy! Possibly subject to a name change the more I get to know her.

Now, I know she looks rough. She is about 19 months old and has started to go through her first real adult molt. Eggy was given to me by my boss in exchange for Ducky the little silkie with 5 momma's who I raised for her. I received her yesterday when I dropped off Ducky. Eggy is supposed to be a sweet girl. I have left her alone and not pushed myself on her today but she will come eat out of my hand so I do believe she will be sweet when we get to know each other. She did not lay today which does not surprise me given the fact that she is in her molt and changed homes, but she lays a green egg. I honestly would not be surprised if she did not lay again until next spring. I also would not be shocked to go out tomorrow morning and find her bald as she is dropping feathers fast. She had a full tail yesterday. Eggy also has a new bff, she has taken up with Homer and sticks to him like glue. I cannot wait to see her transformation as she comes out of her molt. She looks so much like Owly that when Betty offered the trade I could not pass her up.

Hello Rebecca

 

[SimpleJenn]

Tonight two of the bagpipes (Dotty and Ghast) decided to sleep in the trees. Oh, but they chose DIFFERENT trees and had to screech out this information.

As said before we have no experience w/ roo's ... who I understand bantam roo's (including Silkie roo's) are every much hero roo's as bigger breed roo's. A chicken roo is a chicken no matter what his size. & I would hate losing ANY chicken... it was a loss even the couple stinker hens we had to re-home to keep a peaceful/safe backyard flock.

Mr Wyandottey has a sniffle, (cough) which could lead to bronchial infection. All he really wants is to be recognized. I’m flying him to Bakersfield tomorrow morning to have him checked out.
