Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Here too on the frost. Forecast has it down to 34F (32=0c) coming up on Tuesday. Did drive through 30F crossing the divide a week ago, but that's up on top, not down in the valleys (6000+ feet altitude). Snow flies early, lingers late on the peaks.

Come on, ladies....get those moults done. Thing is in the "I'm miserable, don't touch me" phase. She's taken to hiding in the carport where they spread the last of a bale of straw over the gravel. When I'm bringing out treats (like the apple parts from making applesauce yesterday), I try to take some out to her there. She discovered that people coming in there doesn't mean go hide in a panic. Grapes are tasty treats the rest pounce on too fast for her to get in the bigger group. Pea pod ends (with a pea here or there are good too). She'd left it by the time I took the apple out, so I left the apple for today's find. Come roosting time, she's back in the coop huddled into a corner (nest box, stud on top of the nest boxes...). Anyone comes near and she snaps at them...Hard. otherwise she just looks miserable (no nekkid bird though). She even looks too miserable to take a pic of unless she's out (like the water)

Ya my gals are in various stages of that, Misty is still miserable and I let her sleep in the nest box.

In another couple weeks they should all be done with moulting - I hope!

Just a few days in Washington DC. I find the train much more relaxing than flying.

Yes watch the countryside go by

Okay, I clearly can't be on FBA on my breaks anymore. Our Receptionist just popped into my office for something - looked at me and said "are you okay?" I fibbed a bit - said my allergies acting up and I had just had a massive sneezing fit. I'm not sure she bought it.

Hahaha I hear ya! I have to be careful what I am reading also - I bawl at the slighted thing

And have a great excuse - I still coughing up a lung here so I just blame it on a coughing fit.

Coughing doesn’t seem to keep them away from my desk pestering me though…..

I would use the train as well over an airplane. Much more comfortable. What does it cost for you to train to DC?

Made it back home and let the Princesses out into their yard. Bribed my way back into their good books by providing some leftovers from the weekend - Hamburgers mainly. They love the burger and the bun but are not so keen on the lettuce or the tomato slices!
Now they have chowed down it is time for sunbathing.

Hmmm....it looks like you fed them more than a bun. Bernadette looks like she had part of a crescent/croissant roll!
