@BY Bob shared news from FBA where Queen Aurora made a very special decree:

And @featherhead007 responded on behalf of Sir Jaffar:

We also got some insight into who at FBA is really getting into the Halloween spirit:

And unfortunately it is hawk season again at FBA:

@CCsGarden
Treated us all to some spectacular photos this week (I could certainly benefit from some tips on how to get such gorgeous pictures):

@featherhead007 is trying to help the newly ennobled Jaffar who is feeling under the weather:

@knoturavggrl's whole flock showed up to celebrate her achievement:

And in good news, Story has recovered:

@Ponypoor has been engaging in a lot of Chicken Math (and confusing at least some of us along the way!):

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27245572
Leading to some very sophisticated enabling by @ChicoryBlue:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27245767
And big plans for next year:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27255964
Meanwhile in the here and now there are creepy crawlies to be treated and not everyone is happy about that:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27247084
And Red Hen is poorly - we are all joining Pony in hoping that draining her abdomen will give her some relief:

@RebeccaBoyd has been working with Poppet who seems inclined to become a cuddle chicken:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27248448
And it seems like she has a bit of a crush on Branch (who doesn't?!):

@Ribh returned to us with news of some of the fan favorites in her flock:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27253132

@RoyalChick is dealing with a broody Sylvie. She is only 6 months old and hasn't quite got the hang of the whole broody thing. Somehow for her it involves hanging out on the roof:

@rural mouse helped us with an annotated map of her flock:

@SimpleJenn's hubby has been fixing up their coop and attaching a run extension. He has been ably assisted by the chickens:

I had some issues with my notifications in BYC so I hope I didn't miss anything important.
Have a wonderful week with your flocks everyone.

Thank you I definitely needed this, this week!

A little too cool for my liking View attachment 3664743

Looks like too cold for the horses...

Ha! If that isn't the very definition of chickens in a photo I don't know what is! They are allll about the snacks and really who can blame them?

 

[rural mouse]

Yep, north slope of Alaska. Temps in Fahrenheit.

Definitely a shocker. Dress in layers, different types of material (cotton, wool, knit, woven). Helps keep cold out and body temp in.

Was scrolling back to find a chook in snow pic....it stopped and pulled this one instead.
