Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Kris5902]

I did the trimming again. Very aggressive.

She is looking very good, be careful when trimming that all the feathers are older ones, as in not still growing. A few times when trimming to tear an injury or cleaning up the bum feathers on the less cleanly meat girls I’ve clipped one that has bled. For Mrs Bob’s sake and Gucci’s future vision and haircuts… please be very, very careful. (It probably wouldn’t be too bad Heath wise, but you would never get near her with scissors again.

She just thought it was Friday, is all!
I know this isn't politically correct, but nice bottom!!!

Only in fluffy butt's

Chicken TV
First up we have CSI. This is a special Chicken Palace edition in which our intrepid crime scene investigators prove beyond doubt that Minnie is guilty in the brutal unprovoked attack on Bella.
Not only was there reliable eye witness testimony (from me), there was security cam footage, and most damning of all Minnie was found with incriminating DNA evidence in the form of one of Bella’s feathers stuck to her fluffy butt.

When questioned Minnie denied all knowledge, hid her face, and tried to dispose of the evidence.

Minnie you are a very bad girl, no treats for you until you are kind to Bella, now say sorry right now

Next we have HGTV’s much loved home makeover show Good Bones. In this episode the crew seek to create a cabana for Bella to keep her safe when she is with her friends.
The inspectors approved of the basic design ……

…. but ruled that more shade was required. So the crew had to scramble to set up a patio umbrella.

All the hard work was rewarded when Bella took a little sip of water on her own. The first in about 10 days.
Filming was interrupted when the producer burst into tears of happiness seeing Bella drink.

Omg. I'm so pleased. BELLA

Friends visited and encouraged Bella to try the cherries.

I think the next show will be House, in which our team of crack diagnosticians will focus on Bella’s weird leg, but there has been too much TV for one day so that will have to wait.

Waiting and keeping my fingers

Ohhhhhh. Tricky English. LOL.

You don't say. Decades and I still can't spell.

 

[Marie2020]

Oh no! That’s terrible what a crazy year for crazy weather! It’s always feast or famine

Ok well you be careful - heres a smile for you.

Wee Marty is back up in the window well, she must be leaping up there she can’t fly at all!

I logged onto the camera early to see how she got up there but she was already there! I have expected Sophia to peck her !

At least she isn't on your head.

Gucci in the Grass

Glynda and Lady Featherington would not go very far into the grassy area today as Gucci would not come out of the run. So I gathered Gucci up and brought her to the far side of the grassy area.

Video follows:

She's really apart of the family

I see this little guy, sent a msg to see if he is still available.

OMG. He looks deadly I would be afraid to go outside

 

[Marie2020]

Yep. I’m here safe. But wow the change of weather. I usually can fly VFR, but I had three separate cloud cover, at 3000, up to 5000, above that it was clear, but cold. And I got the rain that I wanted. I soaked poor Marie at 3000ft and several turbulence issues. (Family is nice to visit with, but they don’t have any chooks) . I hired Janelle from church, to watch the property and my feathered family. I’m hoping that there’s no parties while I’m away. Haha!

I wish you wouldn't take so many risks

Stupid autocorrect! I called a lady by the name of Tenille ‘Tensile’ today because of autocorrect!

The right eye is really good and she can see out the left now. That small clump of feathers is so close to her eye that I have a lot of trouble trimming it without poking her eye.

She actually has a pretty good look now. Very similar to Phyllis at this point.

How about a purple rinse just a few as highlights
