Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

@BY Bob, My Roo BLU is wondering why Phyllis isn't returning his BeakBook messages? Is she courting another roo? BLU is feeling very disappointed,View attachment 2184675 Just look at the disappointment on that beak!

I took her computer from her. She was using it past curfew. She will be back on it Wednesday. She has been yelling at me everyday asking for it back

And I thought you were just being a protective parent. I promise, BLU has nothing but the best rooster intentions in mind!

I go inside for a minute to get some more coffee and I find this when I come back out!

It's contagious!

I thought Spring was over in your neck of the woods?

We are entering Summer over here. Plenty of good weather left for chicks to be hatched and raised outside within the flock.

Oh Phyllis!! Those boys will lead you astray!!! Stay in the big coop with the A/C, it will keep your feathers from falling flat.

I bet she gets some AC today. It's going to be a smoker!

Jaffar is happily crowing again this morning (close call averted by love and care)

I've already instructed to kids to keep an eye on the chicken waters. I gave them permission to mist them with the hose too.

The kids have been out with the hose and sprinkler since Saturday, the town pool hasn't opened yet, and it's been pretty warm the past few days. Today will, by far, be the worst.

Big (small) changes coming to the Chicken Palace
I hesitate to post this here because I do not want to detract from the count down to Sydney's hatch - honestly I am possibly more anxious about it than even @BY Bob himself!
But I have to post here because, people, this is all your fault.
You are enablers!
You could have said how lovely it is that the Princesses have so much space in the Chicken Palace. You could have said that three is plenty for a flock. You could have said that baby chicks are a real handful and I should avoid them at all costs.
But no, instead you said things like 'looks like you have plenty of room for more' and '3 isn't a real flock'.
And because of that I have ended up with these insanely adorable, cute little fluffy butts.
I am terrified (what if I can't keep them alive and healthy?). But I am already besotted. So thank you all for your enabling.
I will try to get better pictures but honestly they have little jet-skis attached to them and they take off in all directions at great speed and are very hard to corner until they go in under their hot cave which is where most of these pictures are from.
