Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

This is awesome ! I was so eggstatic for you, I know how long you have wished for blue hugs now you need green and chocolate brown ones

I had chocolate brown ones at one time. Patsy laid them.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! Congrats, Bob! Just wow!

I'm so blessed. I am still smiling today!

Ok well I am heading out but I just want to touch base with a few of you:

@featherhead007 how is Jaffar? And how are you?

@RoyalChick how are you feeling? Are you any better?

@micstrachan how is Lucky doing- I don’t see an update on your wee gal.

Ok all I will post pics of Canada cross country

I will seriously enjoy your trip vicariously.

That is a pretty beard. Nicely groomed too.

Thank you. While I have used a grooming brush on Branch I've never once touched Chiquita with a brush or comb. The girl just need time and good food to bring out the best in her.

I'm so blessed. I am still smiling today!

Seeing as how she is now 100% a legbar, on average how often should she lay?

Right now it is 35 F. Today is supposed to be 42 F. I heard that Tuesday is going to be 50 F. But someone isn't too happy about that...
Tony.
Tony is going through a heavy molt right now. She has changed quite a bit since this photo was taken. She doesn't look too happy in the picture and wanted to run away because she was extremely embarrassed of how she looked and didn't want anyone to see her condition but Tony, all chickens go through a heavy molt sometimes. Just ask the chickens.

Tell Tony that Aurora is having a rough time right now but no one messes with her.

It's -13F (-25C) here this morning. I'm thinking even colder northward up the Rockies. Be careful, and STAY WARM!

160 to 180 eggs per year, so every other day I would guess.

Have a safe trip @Ponypoor !

@BY Bob it's wonderful to see you so happy . Maybe the world needs more blue eggs ? I hope you told Glynda that you're very proud she's a frost legbar.

Happy Friday to everyone ! We should finally get some freeze this weekend- six weeks late. It's so warm our potatoes are germinating in the cellar . Hoping for some snow on Monday!
And also hoping the roosters keep quiet at roost times tonight and tomorrow -i'm on my own and don't want any chicken sleeping outside if the temps drop suddenly!

The Friday butts :
Cannelle (in front) has got most of her butt's feathers back and she seems to be doing a bit better . She's began pecking me again vigorously. I take this as a good sign.

Sleek butts: Merle and Chipie (missing a bunch of feathers). Glynda has me wondering what color Merle will lay .

Blanche's butt. She's not telling me off, she's staring at a couple of eagles very high in the sky that have been watching us for a few days

Théo the small terror has grown his beautiful tail back and is being the biggest pain in the butt . You can see he still has the shafts on his mane feathers growing out though.

Edited : almost forgot Léa's butt! Gaston is beginning to try to mate her every now and then (she doesn't let him) which makes me think she could be laying soon.
