Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I was trampled over by Beetov-Hen this morning. I (had) a bag of meally worms, but not anymore. She jumped on my lap, knocked the bag to the ground, and all the others swooped in for the kill! (But that's Beetov-Hen) so I can't be too mad about it!

They know what they like. Birds of action!

Only about an inch and now it is raining. My problem at the moment is ice. I have rubber mats down to make it safe to get to the Chicken Palace. I think it will stay above freezing tonight which hopefully will help.

Be careful out there. We had just a coating on the deck. The grass is still visible.

I just LOVE your boy! In my mind he's as soft as silk and smells slightly of cinnamon.

You're torti is adorable too! She looks much nicer than my Marigold.

BUT.. Jaffar! It's obviously spring conditions here. (He won't leave the ladies alone) So I took him inside with me for a while, just now.

He's got spring fever.

Ok Fluffy Butt Friends, I need some advice. My sawdust guy delivered a load of sawdust for me yesterday and presented me with a problem or opportunity. Depends on how you look at it. He's a wonderful old man who likes chickens as much as I do and will stand around and talk horses and chickens all day long. This June he has 17 Beifielder chicks coming, and in order to make room for them he's offered me 5 or 6 hens for free. Was initially in the process of saying no when he showed me the pictures and told me to look and think again. THEY ARE BLUE MARANS. 2 years old and gorgeous. He knows my obsession with Marans, and has remembered that I also want blues, well, ok every color. I have until the new chicks show up to decided, but if I really want them in about 3 weeks when the next load of sawdust arrives they can hitch a ride with him. I WANT THEM, I think I'm going to say yes. Keep 3 of the best looking ones and let Maddy next door have the others to take to her papaws as they are wanting more hens and love the 2 Marans I gave them. That would still allow me to get a few Lavender chicks for Rosie. I think anyway, that plan would push me at or over 20 chickens, which I sorta want to keep under so as not to drive the neighbors crazy. But then, the neighbors love my chickens, 3 of them bring over kitchen scraps to them and since I've had a egg explosion they are loving the fresh eggs i've been giving them. Ok advise please, take them, or pass on them.

Take them NOW!!! Don't miss this opportunity.

I took that quiz and it told me my soulmate is a “JAVA” (I had never heard of that breed before)

Porch boxes are very popular this morning. People think roosters are loud and complain. They've obviously never heard a hen announce to the world that a egg has been laid lol.
