    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    There's a Mauve color I've run across mention of.....possibly the effect of washing chocolate with lavender (being as it affects any color rather than just black like the blue/splash one does). Edit: No. This is what gets mauve...

    I've noticed juniors grooming seniors (most recently with the chicks). Frequently seems to be immediately after a smack down....possibly as an apology? I haven't seen it consistently enough to say definitively, but I'm watching for it as I feel I'm missing some info on it.

The presence of BOTH rose and pea shows as a Walnut comb. All 3 can have straight comb masked under the other comb...

    Glad he's ready now. Remind him of the Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up principle. I know a lady who shot, then in trying to be nice, took the dog to the owners....who tried to sue (they lost). Last fall bird tax.

    Another thirsty pic Tails well grown on all but the last few to hatch. Shoulder feathers are popping on the first to hatch. No rust, no red combs yet. Next week at the earliest.
