Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

I got 1 that fluff like that. Pic from the roost illustrates it well. on the ground, she either hidesthe fluff or moves so much I can'tget a shot. Can't help on the penguin stance. View attachment 2917475

Perfect fluff shot!

I think her body language looks great here and not penguin-like. That other one must have just been caught at a moment that appeared so.

Thank you - that reassures me. I have only ever seen pictures and video of the penguin stance so I am not confident in real life.
My instincts tell me Minnie is really recovering well and going from strength to strength but as @Shadrach reminds us they are good at hiding illness from us (or we are bad at spotting illness in them) and so I remain concerned.

I won’t lie, I feel miserable.

So sorry to read you lost Emily, Alex.

That doesn't look like a Penguin stance to me & both head & tail are up.

Thank you for weighing in. Very reassuring,

We all worry about our girls [& boys]

It's quite eye-catching isn't it!

Yes it is

Oh dear, it is starting to look like we are all getting hooked onto Bob's obsession with fluffy butts

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but it seems likely to me that chickens would have things like tummy aches and head aches from time to time. So maybe she was having a painful moment in that earlier photo and is OK now.

Genuinely spectacular. Her butt always makes me think of fireworks fizzing off in all directions.
