Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Lots of other UK folk here. It may be the specific store I walked in to. Although the labels imply it is a nation-wide thing.

Free range

It's damp here and has looked dreary all day. Not the time for being outside

I thought the worse of molting was over for my chickens, but I was wrong. This morning the coop was covered in feathers ; an hour after coming out Théo had shed five of his beautiful long curved tail feathers . It's a good thing I took many photos of his bum yesterday because he'll be banned from Fluffy butt Friday for a while.
Have a nice Tuesday everyone !

This is a repost because I found it really cute. Piou-piou grooming Gastounet's molting feathers

Awwww. poor Theo', Chipie has left him in the dust and moved on. I always thought Theo' was very handsome...and he was always very attentive to Chipie!

Isn't Gaston Chipie's son? Or am I remembering that wrong. I am glad that Gaston finally has some 'friends' (FWB)!

So I'm getting halloween contacts black out and some others but I just thought of something. If demons and vampires have red eyes then chickens will poke their eyes out and kill them so vampires and demons should be afraid of chickens! Am I right? Im so morbid during my favorite time of year.

Funny!

But you forget that demons and Vampires are out at night, when chickens eye sight is limited. (They can see some, but not really well, in the dark. Not enough to go flying at a vampire and peck his eyes out. ) Too bad, too. We wouldn't need garlic covered stakes to ppoke into their hearts if chickens could!

Ill put headlamps on the chickens there are demons during the day.

I am hoping everyone is done now, getting too cold for going bald hahaha!

Still pretty mild here so I am glad they are molting now. Nights near 60 and days in the 80s. Beautiful weather if it would just rain.

Everywhere it’s dry it seems, even here!

Marty was dust bathing last night and the sand here is just like dust!!

Wow, what an amazing job! So beautiful & detailed...it is like the person is just sitting there, not a drawing.....

Thanks Barb! I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Marie do you see those type of eggs sold in other places in the UK?

I think it’s a wonderful way to promote heritage breeds

Give them great meals of beef and iron and steel, they will eat like wolves and fight like devils
