Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Oh yes, orange feet.

Leghorns have orange feet.

Any excuse to show a leghorn picture......

I'm...kind of here. Thanks for all the sympathy, it's been devastating. Had a good long cry today because I got up, got my boots on, and was to the gate before my brain caught up to me that there's nobody to get up.
I think I'm most upset about losing Nyx. She had just started crouching for the boys, they still had no clue what to do about it but she was ready.
Hubby is telling me that I will have new birds in spring, he had already arranged hatching eggs for kiddo's birthday last week before everything happened.
We will clean, and disinfect, and replace the dirt, and put in anti-dig barriers...there's plenty to do now that it's empty.

Roos are always larger than hens of the same breed.

He is more than twice her size though! I feel like he has really favoured his sire side rather than the mama side (Fluffy).

Careful there, you are in dangerous territory.

That is Queen Aurora you are talking about. She was never supposed to lay a blue or green egg. Green and blue are inferior colors. Beige and pink are far superior and queenly.

This one was also supposed to lay blue (or green) eggs.

Princess remains friends with the turkey. The poor girl was bullied but is really happy with princess and ivy

My brother is making a strong case to be George's #1 fan. He loves that little rooster. This is the first chicken I have had that he goes out of his way to interact with daily. We were discussing Christmas yesterday afternoon as he is trying to finish up shopping. I told him not to get me anything. I would know by Christmas if I had to go silkie rooster shopping or not. He informed me I did not need a silkie rooster I had George. Well, he called him by the name his gave him. He thinks I only need George and that I should set eggs from all my girls crossed with him. Let the afro's take over the flock as he put it.

And they will - you will have all sort of funky topknots

I was really expecting Bert to have more of a wild topknot like Pretty Boy Floyd had….
