Happy Monday everyone.
Bernie was not pleased that I took her mugshot because she is down to only one tail feather and feels she is not looking her best.

Actually, Bernie is thinking “if that camera doesn’t dispense treats, I won’t be happy about it!”

To all the Fluffy Butt old-timers, Blazinga says 'Hi!' She's super-busy at the moment and hasn't been on BYC for ages, but she still has chickens. We talk outside BYC and she asked me to say hello to everyone.

Please give her my best. She is missed.

There’s a portrait sitting there that I haven’t touched for nearly 11 months… I need to finish it! I’ve been getting into writing music for games; I completed my first game jam over the last week and have been creating my own text-based ‘choose your own adventure’ computer game, which I can link to once it’s finished.

Game tax:

That's pretty cool. I don't game but I know lots of people who do. I hope this is very successful for you.

It was a dark gloomy day, when suddenly out from the yard, a shriek cut through the silence. Upon investigation, I found him standing there looking right into my eyes. The fear turned into joy at the sight of this roo saying “Cocorico”’ View attachment 3670029

So handsome.

Havoc tried following Pear's exampleView attachment 3666217View attachment 3666218


Chia's more interested in inspecting possible nest sites (including a nest box at bedtime last night)View attachment 3666219

View attachment 3666220Cardhu and Cumulo are also following Pear's example View attachment 3666221
They do need some practice on NOT blocking the camera from each other). (And I REALLY think Cardhu is Pear's bio daughter)

View attachment 3666223Quarts and Cumulo have better camera awareness

View attachment 3666224
Cumulo is torn between stuffing her face and the modeling career. Nimbus doesn't care about modeling in the slightest. She's EATING. (She's also the biggest, by a noticeable margin.)

Granite is following in Nimbus' footsteps (and in Hector, Whiskey and Cheetah's) by eating everything he can and watching the big boys on how to tidbit (not doing so yet, too busy eating).

That Cardhu is a very interesting looking young chicken.

Missed initial rush,View attachment 3667999Chia was first out, then paused, looked around, took another step and retreated behind Enigma.

2nd rushView attachment 3668001Invasion retreated, Granite and Quartz rushed the door and froze, taking some careful looks around.View attachment 3668002And, just no. Not doing it.


Went in and opened the hatch.View attachment 3668003Shan looked out and likely would have paused, but for the pressure behind her.View attachment 3668004Enigma: maybe it is different out this way.

View attachment 3668005Nope

Meanwhile Havoc charged through and stopped short.

All food into the bin in the coop. Left to see about the roadside rescue

Upon returning they NEVER shelter under that bush.



Meanwhile Sherlock is demonstrating what he'll look like as a doddering old dog, many years from now.View attachment 3668009

And another "fall" pic of the same set of treesView attachment 3668011And the whiteout conditions behind them.

Looks so cold. It was 80°F here Saturday. Today it is raining and 55°F. The ladies are all huddled in Hattie House today. Trying to stay warm and dry.
