Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Dakota has spoken her intentions:
She can’t sing or talk like those birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room. She’s frustrated with me for asking her to do so. She jumped up on my lap and pooped! (That means discontent in any language!)

Dakota is the Rhode Island Red (with attitude)

Hello Fluffy Butt Acres, I hope the week starts well for all of you and your chickens ! We're having another incredibly warm sunny day here, and enjoying it even though we would really need some rain.

Monday mugs with uncooperative chickens. They are not happy we are messing around their home, as we've (finally !) began working on covering their run making holes and scattering clutter all around.

Piou-piou has reached a new awkward stage of growth. Her body has really grown the last three weeks but her head has stayed tiny, she looks pretty strange! I hope the head catches up now .

Tiny head is a necessary quality for super models.

Phyllis with that Halloween vibe.

Mugs Monday featuring Blueberry and her mini me. There is finally some progress being made by "Minnie's" future siblings. It is a good thing too, Minnie is 2 days old and already hopping out of the nest. Blueberry is going to have to come off soon.

I feel I'm being judged by both here and found lacking.

They are really beautiful birds!!

Awwll thank for that lovely compliment. I will let them know though it will probably make the boys strut around even more then they already do!

Maggie is not having a great day today. Yesterday she was in quite good shape but today she is not moving.
Her poo is also green which is not a great sign.
I am honestly quite fearful for her.
I am giving her some heat even though it isn't really that cold and I don't think this is about her molt as she now has very few actually naked patches - she has a lot of pin feathers but mostly covered by at least a few full feathers.

I am so sorry to hear that.

Hey, you, human, what are you doing with that thing........you are supposed to be getting me my treats!

@Ponypoor : look at those waddles...lovely shot of them!

Love those wattles

Thanks @bgmathteach for points mg them out they are splendid

Yes. Lovely wattles. I think this is my favorite picture of Foxy.

Yesterday she jumped on my lap so I was able to pat her. It is a luxury because she is big and fluffy with silky feathers. There was so much to pat.

She has been squatting for me so I think she is about to lay.

Notice one wattle has black scab at the bottom? I believe she got fowl pox recently. It was a big yellow puff at the bottom of her left wattle. It seems to be self-healing well.

It is almost fully fluffed up and seems to be spunkier. I will say, so far out of the 13 total that have hatched in the last few days, if I have a boy it is that one. Huge chick, huge feet and the biggest comb out of any of them. Even with the mixes, if they have the huge feet and comb combo, been for sure males.

Oh so glad SHE is doing better

Can’t wait to see pictures of all of them

Oh no, I hope she is just feeling cruddy because of her molt.

I have had a couple that were very poorly during a molt

Hope to hear tomorrow that she is doing ok
