Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Phyllis cant help but photo/movie bomb can't she?

She can not. I was trying to get shots of the chicks the other day and this is all I got.

Even Aurora

One of my most reliable nest box layers was checking out the pool shed nest this morning. She is in the coop now but i am wondering. Would it make sense to build them a safe nesting location outside of the coop at this point?

They definitely float, all except little chicks. They do not float well enough.

@BY Bob "Houston, we have a problem" I just showed Jaffar your Aurora pictures. Now he's excited.
Crazy rooster!

So, if Bob doesn’t mind I will give everyone a little Barney update over here... here he is eating some soggy Honey Nut Cheerios this morning, remains of our dollar store emergency “feed” (it was literally these or fruit loops! I also gave the boys a full package of soaked plain rice crackers that day, it was the best way I could get them hydrated). On a side note, I also got two full minutes of rooster butt video while he was eating by mistake...

and for his beak progres @Aussie-Chookmum :

And his weird Spurs (his Brothers are completely normal) I kind of like how not-stabby they are with the amount of lap time he’s been having lately!

And the black stuff in the second pic is poop and grass on his back toe, please excuse it. My mornings are just so glamorous here! Yes, I took it off for him when I noticed .

He is certainly tucking in to his food isn't he?

Thanks for the beak close ups. Is the darker bit closer to his face where the new hard part is growing in, sort of like a finger nail?

What mutant legs he has! It reminds me of a picture of a woman who had a growth on her head like a horn.

From the wings and the irregular spot on the head, @CrazyChookChookLady believes that Ned is a girl. If he is a young lady, her name will be Nanette.

Nanette is nice but how about Nadine? (It has a "d" in it like Ned)

It really is cool isn't it. Sadly it is oriented the wrong way for the calendar.
