Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

I have to point out it is neither safe, nor smart to climb to the top of the hay pile like I just did. What did I find, 8 eggs, yes 8. Squirrel, Holly and both of the red girls have it out for me. Unfortunately I have no way to block them from getting on top to lay. I am going to have to have dad help me rearrange the stack so I do not have to climb as high. Chiquita also has rejoined the group of layers. Thankfully since her favorite spot was occupied she chose a porch box instead of some evil hard to reach spot.

Bubba is a BCM, so in a few months you will have something like this strutting around yourself. Yes I say strutting, Bubba does not walk, he struts very proudly.

Lilly was actually pretty good with kids. Wait until you read of Lilly's Thanksgiving escapades!

Sweet Penny, such a gentle hen who really hopes to be a mama someday:

And Ruth, the most prolific layer in the flock. She is a very messy drinker and grooms away her beard because she doesn't like it wet. I still think she is beautiful with her lovely cape of orange and black feathers:

They are all 3 beautiful.

Congratulations to all who did today's mugs. They are particularly outstanding .

I promised I would try, so I used the camera today for the mugs. Unfortunately, I hurt my right hand, so, higher resolution didn't compensate taking left handed photos .

4 ex-batt - hope this can be considered a mug, Nougat, Blanche, Brune and Cannelle.

Gastounet! He's molting the feathers he just grew, first the long wing feathers, and now on the head, I hope this isn't something to worry about!
