Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

For the 100th time it seems, AYE!!! I whole-heartedly agree with this.

@RoyalChick seems like the ayes are confirming. When are you getting him, and from where/whom?

Maybe an older quiet Roo like Mr P who is past the dumb a$$ stage - maybe a nice silkie Roo or a pretty Polish - or a lovely Cochin, oh right sorry forgot no feathered legs. How about a banty Sebright?

Tassels has feathered legs so they may not be off the table anymore. To break her into having a roo a silkie is not a bad idea. Small, in general loveable. I say in general because there are individuals in every breed. I even know where a small adorable looking silkie roo is who may still be available. Do you know how hard it was to stick to my promise of no more roo's when Poppet's brother was also available.

My current ‘rooster’ (Bernie) says she doesn’t need any competition thank you very much.

He doesn’t look like he would survive being stomped on by Bernie!

Why would Tassels suddenly be so mean to her? I think Tassels chased her away from the food.

This happens with mine too. Doesn't matter who goes broody, the other 2 will harass the broody girl.

I did it guys, finally @48yrs old, I got my bachelor’s degree in education woohoo and to celebrate the flock gave me the best and arguably one of the most elusive photos, a whole flock picture, all 13 are in there!!!

Bernie might surprise you. You could end up with a power couple who keep everyone in line OR ELSE....

Ok, y'all, I need help deciding.

Looking at another pic for the fall pic contest. Which one?


1. First pic taken, then went for different angles

2. Different angleView attachment 3660134

3. Zoomed in a bitView attachment 3660133

I did submit that chickadee under the tree branch pic. The contest allows up to 4 entries, and I'm wanting to be choosy, so only 1 of the above pics.

Spoiler: my inclination

I'm thinking NOT 1, but between 2 or 3

3

The majority (so far) are saying pic 3, so going with it.

Went adventuring yesterday to try and see the eclipse. We finally found a few tiny breaks in the clouds right at the peak. There were also mules
