    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That’s Nestle, my Chocolate Orpington Cockerel. He is 11 months old. We were 96F on Sunday afternoon. Less than 12 hours later we were 36F and the next day dropped to 24F. Winds were 30mph. I really hope this is our last freeze.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Hey y’all, I’m about a week behind in reading, but wanted to pop in to say I hope everyone is surviving this horrible winter weather. So far we are ok.

    All four of mine have been broody at least once. Indigo and Henrietta do it at least twice a year and are pretty persistent.

    Hmmm, she hasn’t logged in to her account since early December. And latest post I found was October. Sure hope she and Rosie are ok. Does anyone have a way to contact her outside of this website? My Flutterbots are BLRW (or blue laced gold). Here are some pics over the past few years.

    I know the TSCs here get them at the post office. The small local feed store gets theirs in person from Ideal, since we are only about 20 miles away.
