Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Thirsty Thursday
I am back and the Princesses have been let out into their yard.
Maggie explores the feed bowl full of rainwater. But naturally she prefers the really muddy puddle.

Poor Maggie is one hot mess with naked bits and spiky bits and feathers falling off her like snow.
Poor girl.
At least she is foraging. I always worry with her because she goes off food when she molts.
The picture below is carefully staged not to show the naked bits. I am sparing her modesty!

Dorothy lives on scrambled eggs for a week

But she is much better now.

Distressed night late last night. Leftover pizza from the fridge. Left out on the table (maybe 10 minutes) went to eat the delicious stuff, and bit into a pile of black ants . No I didn’t swallow it, but it was gross thinking that it would be safe (it wasn’t)
OMG gross tax

Maggie is warming herself in the sun. Temperatures are dipping into the 30s at night this weekend. I don’t know if that is too cold for her to cope given she is half naked.
All you cold-climate people any advice? It will be 38 on Sunday pre-dawn. Probably a few degrees warmer inside their roosting area.

I hate the taste of ants, so gross! The idea of a bite full is worse, so sorry! Have to shake off that image

Great action shot!

owwww that hurt, and even worse was witnessed by a coworker…

I ran literally, into the cubicle partition here, smacked right into it with my left arm/elbow, ow!

It’s my glasses, I need them for reading, but when I need some info I tend to jump up, take off galloping and that’s when the darn cubicle walls jump out at me. All because I forget to take my glasses off!

Ditsy Tax
Whiskers knows how to put her nest foot forward, and then ignore me while picking for bugs

Awesome photo!

It’s a drought and the water is scarce. The ants come inside the house searching for water. (This time they found pizza) I hope the little buggers choke on the pepperoni !
