Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

So I got curious and just went and gave the tiny terrors a good examination. I'm calling 1 a boy. Tiny wattles coming in. Nope not Karen though lol. The other 3 nothing so far, but from here on out will be getting a daily wattle check much to their dismay.

Friday isn’t over in California!
Here are my VERY FIRST fluffy butt photos from each of my first four pullets. I didn’t even know fluffy butts were “a think” back then. I thought it was just me. DH thought it was BIZARRE that I loved their butts so much. LOL! These original pullets were super young. They were 3 months old. These pics were taken May 27, 2016.

That sounds better, my friend swears it’s Kyle, and apparently “research” indicates Terry shares most of the “Karen” traits, but I think Keith... but with an a, “Keath” is a good fit! (I’d tag my buddy Keath, but he doesn’t follow this site, and is almost the polar opposite of a Karen, which would only make it more entertaining to him!)

I, too, have heard Kevin.

Lovely. And I must say, I’m a bit envious of all those eucalyptus leaves. They must smell amazing!

I think like most Aussies I don't notice unless they're burning ~ in which case I'm looking round for the fire, not enjoying the smell. This dead I don't think they smell like anything much!

I thought Alice deserved the win.

Ta. Alice thinks so too. lol

Alex, sorry to sound obnoxious, but if you are giving them treats, are you also providing chick grit?

yes. course sand was recommended to use.

What a treasure to share with us. They are quite lovely. I imagine your chicken photography skills have improved as well.

Not your cats though. Someone else's cats. Maybe CCCL's cats.

Oh I don't know about that!! Cats are still cats, we are measly servants and not masters.

I am finding out that my new chicks have very different “patterns of peep” and different places they like to perch. (For example, Coco prefers the bridge of my nose. Shanny likes the top of my head. Xzit, loves to snuggle as close to my neck as possible. Maybe it’s just me, but I can tell who is making which noise from across the room. And if they feel stressed.
