Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

There’s nothing more important or greater than a well trained chicken. ! (Remember that you future housewives! )

I am really upset with work today. I am so upset that I can't concentrate on the millions of things (all work related) that I need to do. So I decided to post some chicken pictures.

Art by chickies (very spooky isn't it)

The work stuff sounds like it sucks - but great chicken photos, and I love the chicken art.

Get off the keyboard you crazy chook

I think Tina typed a whole message to you Alex. It was not very polite so I deleted it.

Finally, I feel like I am a real chicken servant. The coop is completed AND the run is fully wired in. I left them in the run unattended this afternoon for the first time. It is both lovely to be able to do so and scary, I think I did enough to keep them safe but does one ever know for sure?
I went out at dusk to let them in but they had already put themselves to bed and were all roosted. 6 of them were crowded close together on or around the short crooked roost bar … why that one? I can not fathom for the life of me but it sure did make me laugh. Silly chickens!
All I have left is find or construct some nesting boxes for them but I have some time for that, as it’s doubtful I will see any eggs until Februaryish.

Beautiful chickens and I love the pumpkin art!

Only if I had that ability!!!!

Diana seems to be showing off to Bernadette.
This is a leap the Roadrunners made easily and surprisingly Bernadette can too. But I have never seen Diana attempt it. And when she is molting too.
I almost can’t bear to watch.

Great flying skills! Mine can, however mostly they choose not to though so it always surprises me when they do more than hop fly.

I’m having a hard time getting to sleep tonight, so. Chose BoPeeps to be with me tonight. If she can’t count sheep, no one can! Need a pic? Then wait until tomorrow

If I remember correctly, it was a 'random assortment', yes @ValarieF ? It might be a Dark Cornish. They have pea combs and can be chipmunkie colored. The ones that have more 'brown' in their plumage as adults can look a bit reddish as chick (the brown is a reddish brown)s. That was my first thought looking at the one you pointed out! I could well be wrong, but it isn't a far fetched idea, given the colouring of DC chicks I have gotten (or hatched out here)

Ooooh. That's a good thought!
