Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Part of it I suppose, comes from the fact that a forum isn't always adapted to many people interacting both at similar and disjointed times. But sometimes discussions off topic can be interesting as well.

I'm very much guilty of chatter, though more on shadrach's thread, I'm afraid. I have been indeed thinking of starting my own since I blurb so much about my chickens, but then I tell myself that if I'm going to spend more time on BYC I should be reading other threads from people who know way more about chickens than I do .

Yesterday attempted mugshots as tax. I finally succeeded an getting two that weren't blurry. It's a difficult excercise! Brune and Blanche.

I’m sorry, I should have done a Pullet dance for your luck with chickens. But I’m too busy doing the rain dance for the much needed rain here instead.

Don't forget to put feathers in your hair to get rain for our chickens

I'm happy it turned out to be only this, quite a lot of money saved !

Thank you, I'm very far from where the fires are right now. Like many we're worried for the summer, with so much heat and so little rain.

Just watching the News and they are showing how hot it is in Europe. Terrible for places that are not used to it.

I sure hope your animals are all ok, heat is hard on livestock

It's hard on everything

My poor bin collection guys are suffering.

Very nice photos. It's good to see the chickens again.

Interesting the two totally different confirmation types between those two.

Which is the breed standard I wonder?

Phyllis and Betty look like the Silver but who knows?

Is she ok from her run in with the hardware cloth? She looks good

You know my silkies where the same way with roosting. And poor wee Marty is never going to make it up there I a just as happy she stays in her nest box safe. Was Gucci at all fretting with being left behind?

Gucci's wing seems fine. I do not see any issues ongoing with it.
