Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I watched a Nature of Things episode on aging and birds are very hard to ‘age’ apparently, unlike mammals they don’t have typical aging signs, they can check the genes telomeres for aging though, bit expensive I should say to get that done!

If I had to guess I would say Jaffar is ageless

A Sad Anniversay

Today is the anniversary of Elphie's passing. It is kind of a watershed moment here at FBA as this was the moment the chicken as pets experiment could have ended. Three deaths in less than 2 years was enough that we almost rehomed Daisy, the greatest hen ever.

For those that don't know Elphie's story you can find it here.

Then as I tickled her wattals for the first time ever she started too chat with me and as was comforting her, telling her she was brave and clever .

The dogs are natural camera hogs but the chicks are a bit elusive

If I have something in my hands they think it’s food! Hard to get a photo of anything but nostrils and beaks hahahaha
