Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[notabitail]

Blow dry, low heat or no heat for bumm blowing! Do not attempt to blow dry a chicken with your mouth. It’s embarrassing, and illegal in some states!

We found the battery for the blower. Their butts were fluffier.
That is the proper use for yard tools

I cracked up at this one! how did you do the animations for Aurora holding the lightsaber?

This is just a photo. That is how Aurora spends most of her day. On her throne plotting.

Actually, I use a program called cut paste photo.

Have a semi- caturday story...posting now.

My bucket trap caught another mouse. Carried the bucket up to where Castor was eating breakfast inside. He started poking around the bottom of the bucket immediately. Out the door I went, him following closely. I tipped the bucket so he could see inside only to have the mouse jump out, right over Castor's back. Off the edge of the patio it went, trying to get behind the step. View attachment 3492438No such luck.

Dear Aurora,

Hi, it is Peep and my fellow Marshmallow crew here. We caught our hooman mom busy tending to the new chicks and I made a break for it and snuck in her window. We want to know what is "Hooligans" and why is she saying it around us like it is a bad thing? We were not doing anything wrong, just testing out our wings. Yes we were using the neighbors chain link fence like it was a tight rope. Yes we also launched ourselves off it into the top of the tree when she spotted us and came to shoo us down. It was fun! We would have stayed in it longer except dad came around the corner and we did not want to get into trouble with him. Momma Chiquita has given up and now just threatens to tell our father when we have fun. Did you know we can now fly up to the top of the main big roost between the stalls from the ground? Half the other flock cannot do that, they have to use the stall boards. I think we can fly higher, I've been eyeing the roof. Our Hooman mom see this and dares us to do it saying we will get in trouble if she has to climb a ladder and chase us down. Uncle Dirt says do it, we are only young once. Also do you have any advice on how to catch a squirrel? We terrorize the birds and cats that come into the yard but the sneaky squirrel is smart. He jumps as good as we can fly. He stole some of our corn yesterday before we spotted him, the nerve. Our queen Butter says we are growing up and it is time to act like ladies. Acting like respectable ladies sounds boring, do we really have to? If you were our Queen you would not make us act like boring chickens would you? We all agree you would come up with fun games to play. How many Squirrels live at your house? Maybe if we had more then one to chase we could figure out how to catch them. Ooh gotta go, I hear our Hooman coming around the house, do not want to get caught on the computer and be called a hooligan again, I think.

Respectfully yours
Peep and the Marshmallows.

They really are birds. They believe in flying. Tie that in with curiosity and you have some fun times.

Thirsty Thursday

Only Penelope obligated me with a tasting of wild water today.

Triplet Trouble-makers were at it again this morning, they have heard of this thing called BeakBook and I had started my laptop….. and well you know what happens from there!

And Rose and I had an impromptu duet… she was not impressed.

Lots of flying on this thread today!

Put me down or I will peck you in the eye Hooman!

And that is eggsactly what the little fart did - a huge whopping thump right in my right eye - need to go assess the damage I am sure there is a tear in it as it is just evil painful. Maybe a trip to emerg to assess and an eye patch for a couple days.

Mother mercy oh that smarts yep it’s a Roo BTW I am sure.

Oh no! I hope it is OK.

I think it’s an ownership issue. Jaffar thinks those hens are his, when I think they are mine!

Jaffar is right.

I did that to a couple of them. Now we need to dry their butts.

They love a blow drier on low with no heat on. It is very important that there be no heat on otherwise you will scald them.

 

[Ponypoor]

Oh no! I hope it is OK.

Well sore when I put water, eye lubricant, antibiotics - burns like crazy.

Opted not to go to emerg and sit for a couple hrs to be seen by a dr when really I know what to do.

Meanwhile I have a name for the little Pecker……
