Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

No chicken pictures today, I was working on egg packaging this morning, and the house this afternoon. I did, however, get this one right before the walk home and head butting incidents.View attachment 3016559

Beautiful.

How did you make out today @RoyalChick

So weird. Like a hurricane in the tropics. Hot. Like 68 F with 100% humidity and very strong winds. The air smelled like the tropics in a monsoon - but I am practically in New England. It was all very puzzling.

Very strange today weather wise but the girls loved it and had almost a whole day free ranging.

I thought I would get some pictures of the chicks before I cleaned their butt fluff and had evil glares the rest of the night. Thankfully one really only needs cleaning and its not that bad.
First off is Ezzie who is now 2 weeks old. She is about to hit the stage where the silkie fuzz comes in and for a month will look like she should have a paper bag covering her head. Isn't she adorable though? Oh and no, I will not admit to having a favorite chick, but if I did well, its her.

Next up is the 3 no so little anymore Nellie's. True to Buff orp fashion they are pigs and growing quickly. They will be 2 weeks old Tuesday.

OMG! Adorable! I have been waiting to see them again!

And finally, the 3 Grannies. Supposed to be Cinnamon Queens, but I suspect EEs. They will also be 2 weeks old tuesday and are the smallest of the 7. I will not know what they really are until their adult feathering comes in and they lay the first eggs. They do look a little more red/orange in these pictures tonight.
