Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yes, so far. What do you think?

Her lethargy is abating, she is active again! Hasn’t laid yet, but otherwise is behaviorally back to normal. Perhaps the topical antifungal is working? Her bum is still bare of feathers, but I wouldn’t expect that to get better until she molts?

Glad she is feeling more perky.

Bernie’s butt is looking rather fine today I think.
I did a bit of clean-up after dark a few nights ago.

How brave of you! Did she take the grooming well?

Bananas, the most approachable olive egger so far!

Three olive eggers and a BCM on the far right.

Not a chicken butt but glad he finished his molt. I'll try for some pics of chicken butts when I go outside again.

I must say I felt rather brave - awarded myself a medal!
But actually she was quite well behaved. I weighed her which was difficult because her big galumphing feet kept turning off the scale before it finished reading.
I did a quick snip-snip at her rear end while holding her like a football under my arm, then I popped her back on the roost and beat a hasty retreat!
I did it all quite fast - I am guessing she thinks she had a bad dream!

Wow he’s a beauty

I put up the chicken netting and put the main gang out there and let Teddy and his ladies in the run.

It’s a storm of wind here and freezing cold, I am hiding out in the feedroom/office warming up.

Okay, here is why I think that Aphrodite is an anacona. This is what an anacona chick looks like.

This is what Aphrodite looks like. (I had her in my lap in my brothers bed haha.)

This is one of my actual Polishes

If you look, Aphrodite will have a normal comb (or a comb of some sort) while the polish will have the V shaped comb. Aphrodite has no poof on her head, while the polish does. Also, Aphrodite looks like the Anacona chick in the picture. She could be whatever leghorn Empress Josey is though. Exbelcher or something. I can’t spell that word for my life. I’m not sure if Meyers Hatchery has Anaconas or not, but I’m pretty sure that they have the leghorn. I’m going to check really quick. She has a much longer tail than the others already.


Also, as I have already said, my friend gave my eggs to incubate for her and I put two of Bolt’s eggs in. Well, I lost power for about three hours today I think. I also found out that she doesn’t want them anymore, so she said that I could keep them. Well, I would love to, because I love buff Orp’s, but my dad would never let me. I’ll have to see though- I think Willow may be going broody again. She has been picking fights with everyone and BBQ attacked her. Last time that she attacked everyone, she went broody and I shoved chicks under her.
