Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

More Monday Muggs

Daisy is fitting in really well. It helps she is the same age as my oldest chicks.

Henny Penny seems to like me lately for some reason

Curly like her daughter Betty needs a hair cut

Laverne is looking very cute, Mr P in the back, wouldn’t let me take a photo of him.

I did not choose you. I was not happy when you showed up. I did NOT want a game rooster and was fully prepared to do what I had to to keep my dear Bubba safe if you became a problem.

Randy, the first few days while still missing my dear Branch and reeling from his loss you showed signs of promise. 4 days, just 4 days I knew I could not dispose of you. I vowed if you did not work out for me I would do my best to find you a home. I saw signs of a good rooster. Young yes, hormonal oh yes. You learned though and you learned fast from Bubba and Siri.

Randy you are excellent at watching the sky for predators and have spotted hawks before I have. Several times now you have sent the girls to cover long before I spotted the threat.

Randy, so far you are good with the chicks. Your first meeting with Julio he was rude and came charging up to you and chest bumped you. You did nothing, not even a deserved peck on the head. He is going to need a few of those by the way.

Today you are my hero. Thanks to you I still have my Spot. One of my neighbors have friends staying with them and they brought a little terrier. It got out this afternoon and had Spot pinned. You my boy saved her. You let your inner "fighting rooster" out and charged and flogged it shrieking all the way to their porch. Thanks to you their visitors still have their dog. They have been warned though, it gets out again you will not have to do your job, I will take care of it for you.

Holy cow! Good boy! What an awesome boy!

Yep dog would not have been so lucky - I would have tossed to beast in the creek. Those owners are lucky they don’t live here - I have a zero tolerance for dogs running at large. And all the people living around here know that.

Good Randy!!!!!! Gosh what an amazing Roo!

I think I’m in love

Offended at being grabbed but then was cool hanging out while I opened the big coop up.

Omg look at those fluffy legs and feet what a cutie pie! I love him!

(Ya trees sure )

He is a little monster

Sharpie gave him a piggy back ride earlier- then she beat the crap out of him. He is like 1/4 her size!



Here goes photos this afternoon

She’s a he….

I think it is time I seriously start looking long and hard into a LGD. CeeCee does great when she is outside, but she is a house dog. She is not out all day long or all night. I do not want a Great Pyrenees. I have been around a few, I do not care for them even though they did their job well. I want a Anatolian Shepherd.

Trickster, you are turning into a gentleman!
He has been escorting the BOrps to the water dish that's in broody territory, standing guard and escorting them back to their side. He stands his ground to a point with the broody hens and their chicks, even though he's the smallest bird here.

This morning he got up and immediately tidbitted food for Shiba-san! She even accepted! He might have himself a group of lady friends.

We hadn't planned on keeping him as our second rooster. Hubby wants Ric Flair and Mud, kiddo wants Cocoa puff, and I want ALL of the boys.

Yee gads you have caught it bad! I am just getting over it! But you have it worse I think - chicken fever. And you have a collaborative partner which makes it worse!

 

[Ponypoor]

Yeah, those pointy feathers peaking through the saddle area......

And he is HUGE! He will be a big boy - you should see his legs! And they are feathered

I could just cry

 

[Ponypoor]

You still have him isolated till healed & finished growing in new feathers? Poor sweetie

Yep he and Bert fight real dirty so they are separated, which is just as well as those bad young hens are just evil to him!

I see new feathers finally popping up on his forehead finally - and of course they look real juicy to those hens. So locked away he must remain.

He is actually happy to be away from them I think, they pester him so much. He just wants his older ladies and that’s it.

 

[Ponypoor]

Those huge Orp ladies will grow too large for him to breed? even if he does accumulate them as a harem?

Oh he will try - trust me it’s hilarious watching Mr LC try to breed the big hens - not even close hahahaha poor baby! All that work for nothing!
