Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I'd love to have you and Jafar as my neighbours

Is it safe to assume then that one boy is your wife's favorite and the other is yours?

You nailed it!

Red is our oldest and my favorite, Cholo is Lety's favorite.

I have noticed, that Jaffar has never pooped in my new car . Yes I do take him everywhere I go. He’s my rooster buddy. But he used to poop in the old Lexus chicken mobile. (Just a scientific observation)

Sounds like fond memories Sounds to me like a life with enjoyment.

Ouch I slipped off the roof and broke my…. (Fiddler on the roof)

Sorry, but I think Diana is one good looking chicken !

I would scream and wreck the car. I almost did once before when one came down from the visor. I check now.

My ex sister-in-law nearly crashed in a car park because of a huntsman. And many years ago I was taking my son somewhere, we get in the car and he let out a blood-curdling scream. I involuntarily leapt out of the driver’s seat to find there was a huntsman on the back seat. I hate to think what would have happened if we’d actually been driving! We took DH’s car whilst MIL unleashed a tin of surface spray in mine.

What about trucks?

I said cars. But Ford makes great trucks also. (But Dodge Ram is better)

So sweet! I love when one comes over to visit me of course but I also cherish the time spent just watching them be chickens, it so peaceful. You captured that beautifully in this photo.

Sorry I’m a day late, but I did attempt to get a couple fluffy butt pics.

Those are some very filled out bottoms

BRRRR! Chilly Pony Sunday

Just waiting for the snow to start up, everyone was just hunkered down in a stall, this rapid change in the weather is hard on everyone. I sat with the chooks outside for a bit about 20min, at first they didn’t want to come out then they came out for a bit but decide nope - it’s too cold! So we all came back inside.

He horses a bit more stoic and just eat - they are eating machines!

HA! I love that last photo of Truly, hello sweet girl!

Haven't posted much over the last few days. Between work and keeping everyone warm, haven't extra time. As of this morning, the chickens are getting VERY vocal. They're none too happy about staying in the coop. I've been opening the hatch for them before going to work, but based upon the lack of bird tracks, they haven't been venturing forth. Temps have ranged from just below 0F (-17 to -20c range) to upper 20sF (maybe -2C). Feathers are coming FAST, and it looks like no more are dropping beyond any that were already loosened. No bird pics, but some other interesting shots from the cold.

Friday had extra frostView attachment 3321391

No fluffy butts, however, "fluffy" twigs

Beautiful but also . Winter is coming and I am not ready for all that.
