Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Well of course they are quiet, it’s rest time! They are resting up after a hard morning of crowing!

Only 42

I have been pampering Rudy my rooster, in hopes that we’ll have the same relationship as I did with Sir Jaffar. Oh God I miss that rooster!

Nice! How many acres do you have?

Again they are beautiful birds, get along with everyone and for them friendly. They came standoffish, they are leaps and bounds better then when they first arrived. Gryffyns sister Flurry is a downright sweetheart of a hen. She is also the prime egg eater. There is enough stuff to like about them that I am willing to try them again in the future. From chicks I raised myself mind you. Maybe bantam cochins next time. For such big girls their eggs are tiny. Not much bigger then a silkie's egg.

Only our Ameraucana (not EE) & White Leghorn layed our L/XL eggs. The Marans layed round Lg eggs, & all other breeds were Sm eggs regardless if Silkie or medium size hens. Once in a while a medium breed layed a Med egg but mostly Sm almost reaching Med.

This isn't all of her chickens. She wants me to fix the 3d printer so she can have a big flock of them.

She'll remember the ones you made for her more than the bought toys. Trust me, she will. My kids are in their 50's & still reminisce over the stuff I made for them when they were wee ones.

Not really. She has spotted her when she is off the nest to eat. She also gets her confused with her children so the has not even noticed.

Awesome - I am have a wee bit of fun with this! And of course can’t wait to see what wee chickies you get.

I knew you were close ~ well, at least in the same state. Sounds super if you're serious ~ wherever "two or more are gathered". DH has met w/his online cronies from back East before & this state is much closer.

DH meets w/ APU professors & friends at our local Chic-Fil-A every morning. For your meetup we have to wait till after my surgery as insurance drags its approvals ~ I'm in limbo till this arm gets fixed!. We'll PM you as we know more.

Are you near Clovis? That's where my 93 yr old Auntie lived ~ she passed this yr February & now just her DD/SIL live in Clovis. I have relatives all over this state & Sacramento, even Idaho, Oregon, & Australia. Auntie was making a family genealogy but now she's gone we won't know where anyone is any more. Auntie let us know births/deaths/marriages, etc. No more. She ran the church library over 60 yrs! Miss that sweet lady!

c. 1931 ~ Mom/Pop's wedding day ~ my Auntie was one-yrs-old baby lower right photo ~ that's my grandpa sitting on the church steps holding wedding flowers w/ grandma behind him ~ use magnify to see

Those two share a pen but have a hatred for Viajito their neighbor.
