Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I've cried every time I've lost one. It's a real heart wrench.

They are truly part of our hearts. It's very hard when one of our friends say goodbye.

So Bernie and Slyvie were on the big roost, and everyone went over to Piglet's roost?

Unless they are really getting put upon I find it more fascinating than upsetting to watch. The platform-style roost here makes it possible to run behind someone, and thus out of harm’s way, even if still near them. So the shenanigans here look more like motions of the Sargasso Sea.

Bernie and Babs (aka The Odd Couple) were together with Sylvie on the same branch but far away.
Everyone else being pecked by Piglet on another branch.
My branches are supported by brackets so the top of the bracket provides a roost or passing spot at 90 degrees. And Babs, but only Babs, seems able to walk along the top of the flat panel heater. She is a tightrope walker and one day will probably leave home to join the circus!

Beautiful Babs.

We are going to need tax from everyone discussing how packages are delivered.

I paid but I think at did reply once more without tax!
The Spuds from last Fall, about six weeks old.

Warm?! Come down here and freeze for a bit.
They do salt the roads if they have to, and now I get what you are saying.

If pomegranate trees grow there, it must be very warm.
Bet you don't get -40 C (it's the same in Fahrenheit) over there where bubbles freeze as soon as they hit the air, and it takes five minutes for a pair of wet pants to freeze enough to stand up on their own

For the first time in a while here's...
Thirsty Thursday

All it took was a few kernels and it worked.

In the winter your foot can get numb standing on concrete. In the summer you'll burn it.

Thirsty Thursday
Yesterday was a fun day out. The snow has melted enough that you can eat it without standing in it (a very popular situation). And the melt off the roof of the Chicken Palace is running out of the gutters and creating huge pools of chilled wild water. Also very popular!

Ours do that too. I'd swear there was no water in the coop but there's a 5-gallon bucket in there, yet, when I open the door, they all go running looking for patches of snow that's left. It's just odd to me lol.
