Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Some chickens just recognize the camera and hog it.

You are very right about that. My Drummie knew what the camera was and would strut and pose every time I had it out with me. It's been over 4 months since he passed and I still miss that boy dearly, but now I can look at his photo's and not break down in tears.

I surrender. Those are the fluffiest butts I have ever seen!

Thanks for asking. He’s feeling slightly better, but his tonsils are still huge with white hunk all over them. Strep culture came back negative, which is perplexing.

That is perplexing.

They are quite lovely the pair of them.

Yes, he sure was beautiful.

Blueberry laid her first egg this morning. She's living up to her and Raven's nickname of the "Double Trouble" girls. Instead of joining in on the fight over the porch box with Raven, she chose to lay in the hay stack. That normally would not be a bad thing, Creamy lays there, but Blueberry took it to a whole new level. The hay is stacked 5 bales high and instead of laying on a lower bale like creamy does she laid on top and 2/3 of the way back of the stack. That meant climbing and about breaking my neck to get the egg. You know, I think I would prefer if she joined in on the porch box fight with Raven, it's safer for me.

Congratulations on the first egg. They are wonderful!

Chickens can be so uncooperative.

Thank you and yes they can. As I was climbing I had 1 thought going through my head "At least it is not on the hillside, Blueberry likes to play on the hillside."

Hopefully his immune system will battle this. A good cold yogurt may help things along with no sugars.

Will be looking for updates.
