Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Well if it’s meant to be it will happen

Meanwhile there are the chooks and Chaco and everyone here on BYC

I couldn’t have said it better.

Haha! Sure, why not! I'd rather be out exercising on a sunny day like that, but a BBQ sounds good too!

BBQ tax: This photo was taken a while ago as we have no leaves on the trees currently.

Oh I do like a nice barred rock

Ok well I need to do chores will check in later - I pulled a rib muscle so everything takes longer to do… those bales of have are lovely but darn heavy!

Have to make sure chickies are ok and feed horses for the night

Not that it matters, but Rema is actually a Cuckoo Marans with lightly feathered legs who lays a dark brown egg. She is the largest lady in my flock and has thrown her weight around in the past, but has settled in nicely as the beta hen. She is a lovely hen, but I say that about all of them. There's something to love about each and every one!

Oh we can turn you onto a Canadian easy in that case! A BBQ and a case of beer, some moose sausage - -20 and sunny now that’s BBQ weather!!!

Right @Lexicon ?

It's never too cold for bbq and beer

These parts we don’t bat an eyelash at naked people - unless it January of course!!!

I have seen someone in Toronto dressed like the chikita banana lady

That sounds funny but I don’t know what that means.

Our friends want some big girls so once our incubator is free I am thinking 3 eggs from Gorda and Cholo, 6 eggs from Cholo and the lavender orpington gals, and 3 eggs from the naked necks.

After I was in Edmonton a few days I was outside grilling in -20 weather.

Gotta use the grill more than a couple of months a year!

Pics of some of the moulters today.

Storm looks to have started: pins around her ears.

Nellie has new tail feathers coming fast. Neck feathers too. Status of existing feathers is still uncertain.

These 3 stayed in the coop today. Much preening.Oh, and Silver finally dropped most of those tatty tail feathers she's been sporting for the last year in favor of crisp new ones, sneaky witch grew in the new before I saw the old missing.

He's got some new saddle feathers coming through.
