Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Walmart sells natural feather dusters, and colored nylon ones too. (And they don’t poop, just saying)

My feather dusters are 100% organic and beat anything wal-mart has to offer. Just saying.

No roo worth his salt gets "pushed" anywhere! He looks pretty tall too. Wonder how your boys will divvy up the girls between 'em?

I dunno Maybe five girls each?

On this play, you go long and we will sweep to the left. Only five yards to go for the touchdown!

Right you are! She is another feral cat. I had no idea about the breed until now.

Gosh you have some beautiful cats your way

I love it when the eggs are not huge for the hen's sake ~ even when the hen is large like a Brahma or Jersey Giant. Our little 4-1/2 lb white Leghorn layed way too large eggs for a midsize bird ~ probably why Legs have too many reproductive issues? Had a Blue Wheaten that layed pretty sky blue XL eggs & often ~ her lifespan was 3 years only. Hurray for smaller egg hens!

Thankfully my Azur ladies lay smaller sized blue eggs. They seem to have stopped laying, gearing up for moulting. I can’t wait to see them all with new feathers. I wonder how many
New spots they will get.

Dear BYC friends,

Apologies for a non-chicken related post. Western NC has been devastated by Helene. Entire towns swept away, bodies are floating, children can't find parents, people are still suffering ... Personally this is the worse disaster I have witnessed since my time at the USA (17 years). The videos are unbearable to watch.

If you are able, please consider donate to Samaritan's Purse. I have made a small donation. I have first hand information that they are doing great work helping western NC. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/

One never thinks that countries like the US and Canada can be subject to such natural disasters - but Mother Nature still rules.

Thankfully here today the weather is nice.

Buttercup is moulting so she is hanging out with me for a bit.
