Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

I am living through that right now. The Littles are terrified of Calypso and Sylvie and are even wary of Pooh even though she has only a half dozen feathers to her name!

Tough to watch, lots of ups and downs and duck under things to be done. Long term prospect is good.

Okay, so I just can’t bring myself to get any more bantams. So many losses. So I have been considering trying to bridge the size gap. Here are the breeds that I am pondering on:

Shetlands, small but not quite Bantam small. Hens are 2-3 lbs and they do lay blue/green eggs.

Or … double silver laced barnavelders from Alchemist Farms. Their line they describe as slightly larger than bantams and slightly smaller than a standard sized hen.

Any other breed recommendations or thoughts on these 2 possibilities?

Ah, but it isn't 'wealth' that makes the man Woman, but the character within!. And Pooh ceertainly has character!
