Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I don't understand given how dangerous water is to them why they don't avoid the pool - you would think they would have an innate fear of water.

Swimming is always accidental at my house. Someone tries to fly the length of the pool or some other nonsense.

My guess would be that someone surprised Ned and he panicked and wound up in the pool. The bigger chickens are quite vicious to the littler ones right now. Sansa is taking perverse pleasure in surprising them right now. Even above eating good food.

Hey.. I was just able to see how many fish I have ... it is extremely difficult to count fish! I thought I had fourteen but I actually have fifteen... same as my chickens! .... one is black so you can’t see him...

Hey yall! Thought I’d share my little fishies... they are getting big and they come swimming over to me waiting for food... I can even pet them.. if you can believe that! I couldn’t get a pic with my hand in the water as I had to take the pic... They are adorable ❤ View attachment 2286616View attachment 2286618View attachment 2286619View attachment 2286620

That is so cool. I need to come to your house someday so I can pet a fish! WOW!

And here is the best dirt bath ever! I dug out my fire pit and gave all the ashes to the gals.. they LOVE it!! Of course they get up and come running cuz they think I have food! That’s why they are all gathered at the fence.. and here are some flock shots... the last pic has everyone... not an easy task either...

What a nice gift for them. Wait until they run up and shake ashes all over your white clothes.

They are not lining up for food, they are lining up to see you! Of course if you have food, that's a nice coincidence.

Phyllis in the Early Morning Light

I took this off of a video I shot the other morning. Phyllis in Black & White is a very arty thing.
