Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Monday Mugs:

Hey Mum, I'm watching you!

Those above were the 'littles' from August.

Below: the brother to @RoyalChick 's girls., followed by poor momma hen. She is saying "Really, you are taking a picture of me when I just got done chasing the kids and my feathers (hair) is a mess? ( Evidently being a chicken mum is not much different than being a human mum. Only with Chickens, the kids never leave your coop! )

flighty timid

Hesykia (or Hesychia)

or

Ephemera

I would be more than willing to help Satan quietly out of the net.

I'd let my Huskies help it.

Are they practicing bobbing for apples?

It was a women’s luncheon, and I went to serve them lunch and beverages. No apple bobbing.

Is the remaining girl to be named timid, or bold? i.e. What is her personality like?

I couldn’t name my chooks by personality, or there would be::
Drama queen
Butthead
Evil bee-atche
Horndogger (the rooster)
Nono!
Piglet
$&@#* !

Some human kids never leave the home either! (Just saying)

BTW, I mentioned earlier that is was 28F around dawn this morning. It's gone up more than 20 degrees. 52, and still rising. Beautiful sunny day.

Pause to go take pics

Cheetah standing watch under the French lilac, several ladies with him...and most of the girls too.View attachment 3293234View attachment 3293232Nellie looking good, Storm looking pretty miserable, Blanche still tatty, PITA miserable but improving, and Lark looking very close to laying (had a white egg the other day, but not small enough to be a pullet egg).

Meanwhile KrenView attachment 3293233Keeping watch down below

View attachment 3293231And Horus tidbitting like crazy (Kren and Whiskey both discovered good things too), all attempts were ignored.View attachment 3293229Jessica seems to be migrating into Hector's girl rather than Cheetah's.....
View attachment 3293241Primula and View attachment 3293242Nox enjoying some sunshine, supervised by Hector, but with the Idiots orbiting near by.

Asphodel and Twirp were working on eggs (or at least going through the motions) and Thing was having a bite in the coop. But where are Silver and Pear? Started looking around slowly, checking down below to no avail. On my way back up, caught Pippa being curiousView attachment 3293230

Circled the garage, checking the carport....no....View attachment 3293228They found the residual warmth from the fire last night.View attachment 3293227Storm has been in the area too.

View attachment 3293226They're feeling better, still have a ways to go on the moult, but dandelion greens and pea tree seeds are the mid morning forage of choice.

That is a glorious photo of Cheetah.

Fairly warm Sunday:

Let the Tweens come out to do some supervised free ranging… tomorrow they will hit their 11th week. They grow up like lightning fast!

Powder all fluffed out for the sun

Dakota was standing on the porch, right next to the door. Just talking away with her little chicken voice. I let her come inside. (I’m such a pushover lately)

While Maleficent was super friendly, Aurora refuses to be touched. Not every EE is going to be friendly.

Good point. As you know, my Margo, a Leghorn, was quick, but I would not call her “flighty.” And she was a very cuddly hen. Though there may be breed linked personality traits, they really all have their own!
