Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I really wish I had weather like @fuentemoon's right now. After heavy winds and temperatures in the teens (and below zero at night), I'm ready to warm up. Today will be 30 F and from Thursday to next Monday, they say that weather will be in the 50's, which I'm excited for but not so excited for because that's going to progressively change over the next few days. The poor chicken's water keeps freezing up, so we're using a black tub to prevent freezing.
I think I picked the wrong state to live in... but then again... maybe not because some states get somewhat cold during the summer and don't have to experience hurricanes like Florida and earthquakes like California (sorry Alex) and wherever else. I'm that one person who loves all hot and no cold.
A lot of chicken and cat photos. I won't use funny captions this time around.

What's with the chicken burritos?

Cheetah's daughters at the in-laws. View attachment 3358965Both of Thing's View attachment 3358966One of them again (they're darling).

Slender butts on them, just like Lark and Indigo

Sadly the little roo was killed shortly after Thanksgiving. Something came through and got him and several hens.



This fine fellow is the father to Maizie, Pippa (she has a twin there without the cheeks), Whiskey, and KrenView attachment 3358970

Some of the rest of the flock. The hen in the bottom pic on the roost is marked just like Whiskey and Kren.View attachment 3358971View attachment 3358972

I like how they are all staying under the heat lamp -smart! Hope my gang are smart enough to use the sweeter heater I bought.

I also got to see these beautiesView attachment 3358973The hen behind him (I've forgotten his name) is a chatty Cathy.

Oh they are lovely I would like to have turkeys - but guess I will have to just enjoy the wild ones here. Mum would have a fit if I got turkeys!

I agree with regarding the weather, I appreciate hot humid weather when I get it during the summer.

Looks like you are keeping everyone warm great photos!

What's with the chicken burritos?

They look comfy don’t they?

 

[featherhead007]

Yes I agree they would go head to tail for protection. I see that here.

Oh, now it’s chicken puns!

Does he do that often? I have a horse
That snores. I guess chickens can also, has anyone else noted this?

Not often I’m sure.

A Split Coop Again Tonight

4 in the Main, Betty is there, and 3 in the Cluckle Hut. Aurora is still on Daisy's roost.

It is currently a balmy 18°F (-7.7 °C).

Are Betty and Hattie sleeping in nest boxes because of Aurora the Tyrant?

Oh, now it’s chicken puns!

Sorry, I took another look at the picture. They are head to tails in there.
