Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Scrambles83]

Had this fella waiting for me when I closed to coop door.

Spoiler: ‘Straya

Surprisingly Belle ate him, Snow is the resident spider eater, maybe Belle needs more protein.
I say this because over the last week or so I’ve been finding a few of these…

Maybe she is having a weirdly early moult if I take into account the fluff feathers in the nest box. She’s about 11 months old. And it’s spring here so a little strange if so.
They always keep you guessing, I’ll just ride it out a bit longer and keep watching…she is my strange baby girl I guess so anything is possible.

Sleepy Legertha

Watch as Legertha fights off sleep as Sylvie grooms. Then I startle them by talking through the camera. Sylvie's headdress is pretty silly right now.

Oh my frick! So adorable!!! Ummm… both hairdos are pretty awesome right now!

How big is that spider? Once I saw Dorothy dismember and consume what I thought was a trapdoor spider (maybe 3.5-4 inches across?) in seconds! It was impressive!

If his legs were out straight he would have covered the palm of my hand (3&1/2 inch maybe).
Maybe what I found were tiny baby huntsmans and he was a she
Yes, it was all over within 5 seconds I reckon

Congratulations Lozzy!

Our friend Lozzy has an interview on BYC. It is lovely! Go check it out:

I’ve loved this post three times and my heart keeps disappearing. So strange!

Anyway, it’s a wonderful interview!

I’m a little concerned that BYC might cancel my account. I haven’t paid for my premium feather membership renewal yet
I have never paid anything for being on here before. My standard membership was fine with me.

They won’t; they would just downgrade to a regular account.

Ol sleepy is at it again
The head under the wing I haven’t seen properly since my ISA’s but Snow is definitely in zone with it lately while hyper Belle is playing sentinel
