    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I think there were about 10 duds, so 31 total, some of which will likely quit also....math says 13 maybes? Most of these will be going to FIL when mamas are done. He doesn't want to deal with heat source and raising in the house. Not a problem....I'm not raising them in the house either...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    4am incubator check: 2 more hatched, so took the 6 out, split between Cardhu and PITA. Cardhu is now at 10, PITA at 7. Opened the coop so the breakfast demand can vacate ASAP (in about an hour). Came back to another out of the shell with another zipped. Total count out of shell 18.

    It looks like a straight comb with some extra side points. Maybe a modified pea comb with a little v-vomb thrown in a few generations back?

    All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

    Lol I hadn't noticed that part. Re: buff chicks. Just of the top of my head for standard breeds, buff exists in Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks, Orpingtons, Wyandottes, Cochins, Brahmas (is buff colombian), and a slew of hybrids. If you consider wheaten a type of buff, you also get Marans. New...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Chicks were still slightly damp when going out to Cardhu. Seeing as outside temps were not quite 60⁰F, I wasn't going to let them linger for a photo shoot. 5 and 6 were still sopping from the egg, 6 looks to be trailing umbilical (I think)....and lots more pips. Currently at work. Will see how...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well, took the 2nd pair out to Cardhu. 1 had heavy feathered feet. Pair was peeping in my hands.... Cardhu came of the nest flying at me. PITA was all puffed up too. While Cardhu was on the ground, babies went into the nest. She settled back onto the nest TALKING to babies. It looks like she's...

    Different age chicks

    Add obstacles/ pursuit breakers and let them interact. Stumps/logs, upside down cardboard boxes with "doors" cut into sides, step stools, lawn chairs....anything birds can make turns around/hop up onto/break line of sight. It should be CLUTTERED. Don't worry, it won't all be staying in, just for...
