Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Here's one of my girls getting a blow dry...she was sick and needed to be cleaned up...she seemed to enjoy it! I don't think my roosters would like it though!

It is pretty hard to refluff that bum.

We are in southern Missouri and got almost a foot so far and it not stopping just yet

Storm here in earnest this morning. I managed to get to the Chicken Palace (just) by sliding on a thin layer of snow over sheet ice. If there is enough snow it will be less treacherous tonight I hope.
Managed to get one shot for chicken tax.

All of that sounds so yummy, quiche is also a good use of eggs! I get way more than I need too, but I have plenty of friends that are willing to take the extras off my hands!

Quiche is a great idea!

I will be an irregular poster the next few days. I have a house guest who is staying with us to avoid the power outages in Virginia.

Bob, this would concern me, too. Ruby is doing this around Roxy, and I know Ruby is unwell.

So Lilly is not laying, but Sansa is, correct? I did not see her take a single nibble in that video; did you? Do you know how well she is eating in general? I know I should read ahead before posting these questions.

That is correct. Lilly is not laying but Sansa is. She is eating pretty well from what I have seen. I watched her chow down this morning and drink as they were released from the coop and went into the run.

Adorable picture. The big coop is giving shelter to a very special chicken it seems!

Well, Bob, I'm sorry Sansa is "off" with you, but I am hugely relieved to hear she is seeming normal with her tribe.

Have you used any new tool or yard equipment lately that could be freaking her out? I know she's laying, but can you remind me of her molting status? Mine act very wary of me before they go into molt... even the most affectionate ones. Could that be a factor?

My yard is covered in snow. No knew yard tools have been used.

She molted in October and no feathers seen.

Bob, when is your storm due in?

Started over night. We are in the middle of it now.
