Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

And then you have some people here, who literally are feeding only scratch and a handful of pellets. The exact opposite of your example and there are three separate people doing this…

You are serious that people are not providing feed but just scratch. Yikes!

I hope princess gets her feathers back, she's never molted like this before

Don't you worry. She will. It's perfectly normal.

I’m pretty sure that they won’t let me in heaven after all the crazy jokes that I throw around here on BYC!

It's a risk for certain. There may be some explaining required.

My hands complain/go numb when I have to handle needles small enough to do embroidery/ cross-stitch. You do a fantastic job!

I am not the least bit artsy-fartsy burns can sing and tap-dance

The chickies and horses seem to appreciate my singing to them (at least I haven’t heard any complaints!)… yet!

The last pic really shows the blue legs too.

Cheetah is so beautiful! I think his mane and tail are slightly similar to Theo's both in appearance and in the way they molt.

Also do you know how they get blue legs ? Chipie also has them and I find them so pretty! I only read it's a combination of white and black legs but I'm not even sure that's true.
Do you know what breed Cheetah is ?
He is very sleek and racy.

Chipie's legs.

Or you might be asked to be the resident comedian

Not a lot of drinking going on today as there has been a hawk and now an eagle circling above us all morning and afternoon. I got a few of Théo and one from two days ago.
First I was photo bombed...

But then I managed to get this fun one

Nougat was the only other chicken kind enough to drink

And this is from Tuesday, Brune drinking and Cannelle behind.

I was excited I caught the drip rings. The drip comes off her wattle because she always dunks them in the water when she stabs at the bowl to make sure the water is fully dead before she drinks it!
