Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think those are those modern game birds. I think that’s what you’re thinking of.

Could be...except everywhere I searched consistently called the long legs OEG or OEGB ~ even good ol' Chickenlandia video . Show breeders are trying to confuse me teehee. So much stuff has been introduced since we 1st started backyard chickens ~ it was about the time Greenfire Farms in Florida started vigorously importing all the new foreign countries' breeds & variants..I stopped keeping up ~ especially after the Breda Fowl import failures. But that's ok...I'm happy staying w/our standard Silkie bantams that are hardy as cold or heatwave survivors that lay the largest of bantam eggs & can't fly out of our yard!

Beautiful coat! She's a Calico w/a Tortoiseshell tail...I think someone on here said that both Calico & Tortoiseshell are female traits...which I never knew that about Torties! I so want to call her Cheshire w/that classic profile!

My Wheaton Ameraucana “Blue” lays the most beautiful blue eggs, and with a size proportional to her body size. I hope to have her around for a long time.

Pics plz of outside & inside shell color when Blue goes in lay...I hope she is around a long time too

Hello Ijak, Stormfeather, & ladies

 

[Sylvester017]

It’s crazy that I can pet Mr Wyandottey on the back all day long, but if I touch his feet he attacks and bites me. I don’t know why. I raised him from two days old. Where would he have picked up such a fear?

Maybe he had problems hatching pushing the shell away w/his feet? I've seen some chicks really struggling in some hatching videos. As always every one of our chickens is unique & euphonious!

Yes!!! Eggsactly! She would be a Modern Game Bird.

OEGB videos...see what I mean? They didn't call them Modern Game? WT?

Re: dubbing. Cannot believe they would still allow this at shows. How barbaric!
