MJ's little flock

These brahmas have pretty nice fluffy hineys.

definitely an attractive fluffy butt

I feel a bit silly for having shared it in that manner but I was caught up in a moment of fluff-inspired joy.

Good evening folks

Hi

 

[MaryJanet]

I was thinking that too, and thinking of getting two pullets. But then I thought Charlie might still be left out so I thought maybe I should get three. I dropped a message to the breeder asking if he might have pullets in March, but he hasn’t responded. I know he’s seen the message, it’s a bit discouraging.

I'd be discouraged too. Why can't people communicate properly?

Chickie, post-bath.

Oh I'm sure they are as happy as they can be! I live in the city too, but coming from the north of norway I wouldn't say there's anything natural about the citylife - I still prefer it for practical reasons though

Oh I see what you mean! In Australia nature doesn't always nourish the soul like it does in most of Europe. It can be unrelentingly punishing and many lives have been lost. But in the right places, beauty is abundant and the city I live in has wonderful suburban beaches, not too spoiled by development, with clean water for swimming and small dunes, that kind of thing.

Also, some people say the scorched earth of the outback is beautiful in its own way. I see what they mean but I wouldn't want to live there.

We understand but...
I propose Lavender can outfluff anyone. ​

I am considering that. I may also bring in 3 and go to 6. Based upon my observations, they pair off when allowed to free range. 6 might be more than my yard could survive though. 6 is the maximum I would have in the coop because of the need to lock them up in the winter sometimes like they are now.

It's hard. I was planning to let Maleficent set a nest if she wanted and add to the flock that way. That is out now, obviously.

I'm also afraid to adjust my numbers and then have Lilly pass on. She is no spring chicken.

I'm completely undecided on what to do right now but I am concerned long term for Aurora. They have to be with her now, locked up and all. But I saw how lonely Lilly would get when Daisy, TGHE, and Patsy would go off on their own. I've had 3, 4 is better.

I completely agree that 4 is better then 3, however Aurora could go broody in the Spring.

If that happens, I have plenty green layers, I'll give you eggs to hatch, you can keep which chicks you want, and I'll take back the rest.

I don't know how quickly you feel the need to add to your flock, but if the 3 of them are getting along, I'd just let things flow as they are.

You are the sweetest. Thank you so much for the kind offer. My wife is very excited by your offer. Although she does want Polish chickens. It's still too soon to decide on anything. I need to rid myself of the killer before I do anything for sure. Barring that, the run needs to be significantly enhanced before I would risk another hen.

All in good time Bob. I like CCCL's idea of first seeing how Lilly, Hattie and Aurora work together so you can make a better decision. For sure they will develop new ways of relating to each other, how it will turn out for them is unknown for now.
