Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Belated Butts

I am late but I have been working on trying to finish out the Cluckle Hut. I have a camera mounted now and caught Sydney exploring it.

I also relocated the the run cam because of the Cluckle Hut and got some bum silhouettes under the main coop.

So glad to meet you. I just love the name Maleficent. It has special meaning to me. You have some wonderful looking hens!

Welcome to the club!

I know you had a Maleficent. I had originally named her Morticia, but my mom and I both decided that Morticia Addams was much nicer than this gal. She and her sisters used to harass the lavenders unmercifully. Thankfully, they have calmed down a lot.

You are over kind with your praise but thank you none the less.

I don't give praise I joked a little and then told the truth. .

I'm glad to hear that.

Uh oh. The girls are discovering the back steps. Before you know it, I'll have house chickens!

Daisy has a clean butt. She is not happy with me and I'm afraid of the amount of raisins it is going to take for her to forgive me. It needed done though and didn't realize just how dirty her butt was until I started cleaning her.

Chill Lilly

Lilly want always the coop level-headed hen you see today. Mrs BY Bob was reading on Sansa for being so mean today. I thought I would remind her how mean her precious little leader used to be. I firmly beleive that someday Sansa will also be the coop calm leader. Until then though she is mirroring Lilly's behavior.

Here is a reminder of how much fun Lilly had terrorizing Maleficent and Aurora.

Look at how zoomy Mal and Aurora were!

These are amazing. Thanks so much for sharing with us. So much fun. So I have to ask...... why ravenclaw? Did you choose it or did the sorting hat?

The sorting hat of course, it must have sensed our wisdom, creativity and wit

I've been a bit concerned about Deana for a few weeks now.
She hasn't laid an egg since October last year (thank goodness, they were way too big) but lately she has been acting like she wants to. Squatting for me, spending time in the nesting boxes throwing straw over her shoulder, that sort of thing.

Today I squirted a bit of personal lubricant up her cloaca in case something needed help coming out. While giving her treats afterwards I noticed that her comb seemed a bit "rough" for want of a better word. The texture puts me in mind of a magnet covered with iron filings. It is usually more the texture of a rubber glove.

Has anyone noticed a comb with this texture before? Does it signify a problem I should be looking into?.

I looked at Snow and Belle’s in the sun yesterday and theirs were a little bit ‘rough’ too they are plump and red, I’m not concerned

I'm so glad you're persisting with the Cluckle Hut Bob. It'll come into its own one day.
