Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Yes, Dominiques RULE

Is she an Exchequer? Or a Dominique? I don’t remember now what he said so long ago.

Yep the brats can get o to all sorts of trouble!

Seems my chooks have been on BeakBook and read about the Phillistines adventure and taste for exotic plants.

I came home last night and when I let the chooks out (daily stampede) I went in the barn and the first words out of my mouth (after greeting the mob of course) were not fit for polite company!

They ate the leaves and flower and tender branches off my geraniums leaving just the naked stalks!

Now to be fair I can’t be too mad at them seeing as how it was my fault for leaving them on the floor in the barn - such a tempting treat! But sheesh! I babied those plants all summer and planned on over wintering them in the feed room.



I am about the log in and see how my palm trees are faring - I brought them inside the barn last night (frost warnings were out). They haven’t bothered with them outside but we will see if they go for them in the barn where they are just very tempting.

Hmmm well they are still upright and have leaves

Oh no! What about the banana trees?

Oh it's too bad about the geraniums, everybody loves them! That was hooman fallibility at work, for sure.
Is that a chicken inspecting the palms now??????

Dominica the Dominique. Empress Josephine the Exchequer Leghorn.

Flash wasn’t happy when I removed her from the house just now. I promised I would bring her back as soon as my business in town was done. I really hate leaving my kids alone when I’m away!

I came home and all chooks are accounted for. Less one head of cabbage, and half a loaf of nut bread!

These are what Dominique & Exchequer Leghorn hens look like.

Dominique: Cuckoo stripes & Rosecomb ~ this was our Jewlz 2020

The Dom roos are usually more silver feathered

Exchequer Leghorn : Mottled black & white w/Leghorn floppy comb

A glorious Exchequer group w/roo

Little Elsa my gamebird snow princess decided to let it go, and come inside with me. I gave her very own ear of corn. She was the one who had a hard time during her hatch (I carefully helped out) we have a special bond. She hates being touched while in the company of other chooks, but when alone with me “The whisperer” she is all over me! Silly chooks!!

By the way, Elsa said to me “the corn never bothered me anyway!”

Listen to the song from “frozen” then you will get the joke.

I’m pretty sure that might be possible. I was planning a cross country trip, to check up on my property in DC and then make a visit with Her Royal majesty, Queen Aurora, and the @BY Bob family. Then up to Maine to see an old friend. This plan is very much on the table lately.

We would love to see you.
