Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Charm offensive
Lulu is very open to being bribed. Raisins are her drug of choice.
I have more work to do with Bernadette, but I don’t want to push it. She is hanging out in Bella’s favorite spot.

I love that comb!

Nothing like having the crap scared out of me, sitting here working in the quiet when my phone starts blasting out a warning - leapt about 2’ out of my chair!

Guess I better take cover

I forgot to mention I have 3 cell phones on my desk!!! All blasting an alarm

Most hens fly off the corner to the wide part of the run so they have room to land. Not my Gucci. Did you see her coming down leg first!

She did that like a pro!

The other two girls were in Gucci's way! but she did it anyway.

Glynda is getting sooo pretty.

They are all beautiful but Glynda is just gorgeous.

Had to run up Rural King for my grandpa. He needed some bird feed and he cannot easily lift the big bags. I also needed layer pellets so I offered to help. I have been avoiding that store like the plague because this is the time they start discounting chicks and I'm weak. Chicks were not on sale, trust me I looked and they only had one breed that may have tempted me. English orpintons. The huge fat fluffy orpingtons. I resisted because they were straight run and we all know my luck. They did get me in the end though, look what I scored from the clearance rack for 1.50

That is scary!
There was a tornado warning here. I got one email!

@lightm I have fixed the link. I'm a bone head. It was my mistake.

Awesome.

I'm happy to see Gucci's leg and mobility is improving. Also do my eye's deceive me or is Lady Featherington gaining her white speckles?

She certainly is and her voice is really squeaky right now.

You can see the spots starting in this photo from yesterday.

I know I was being politically incorrect ... but Bob will make it correct.

Rest in Peace my bella Bella

My beautiful Bella has died.
She was my dream chicken companion.

Always fashion-forward, her black snakeskin boots coordinated perfectly with her gorgeous blue, green, and purple, black feathers.

She was my first ever lap chicken. She was indescribably soft to touch, and right to the end she was grooming my hair and snuggling into my neck for a nap.

She was a loyal friend to Bernadette and stuck with her for months when she couldn't walk. In turn, Bernadette has been a constant visitor and companion for Bella.

She fought hard against the virus that killed her but it was all just too much. In the end she died peacefully and quite rapidly. She was close by her friends Bernadette and Lulu, and I was sitting with her. I hope she felt neither pain nor fear.

Bella now has a bottomless freezer filled with frozen corn, and I am left with a Bella-shaped hole in my heart.

Bon voyage Bella Dracula. You will always hold a special place in my memories.

I'm so sorry to learn of little Bella's passing. I feel quite devastated and that can only be a small bit of how you feel! Your tribute is wonderful. We will remember her forever. RIP Bella Dracula

Bob alerted me; I'm sorry I caused you pain with my post today
