Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

More Pictures and Observations

It looks like Sydney's left eye is a little swollen, probably poked it on a stick in the brush pile. The neck on Sansa, very flexible.

Hattie wants to know where her handful of corn is?

Aurora came and sat on Mrs BY Bob's cushie chair to take 15 with me. There is something about the chairs under the tree. Her and Mal........

Looking up at the blush sky from my chair under the tree. It has been so long since we had clear blue skies.

Look at how beautiful my eggs are when dyed... way better than white eggs dyed! Notice how some of the same colored eggs are slightly different shades.. because the eggs were different colors...View attachment 2073952View attachment 2073953View attachment 2073954View attachment 2073955View attachment 2073956View attachment 2073957View attachment 2073958View attachment 2073959View attachment 2073960View attachment 2073961

More than just cats can be mousers. That is not nearly as bad as watching a cat ply its trade with a live mouse.

Look at it as another source of food and amusement for your ladies. Just don't watch them eat it.

True enough. Now I am thinking about letting the chickens loose in the attic.

Busy day today and almost nothing from work so I could be outside all day. I pruned the berry patch and sowed loads of veggie seeds and some sunflower seeds for the chickens.
My main chicken chore however was to restock the leaves in the Chicken Palace run from the pile by the barn which is now packed full of yummy wriggly crawly things. The Princesses stuffed themselves. Honestly I don't know how they could get themselves up to roost they ate so much.
I just love the happy little sounds they make picking through the leaves.

Contented chicken noises are very relaxing

There’s a ton of sulphur-crested cockies in the tree behind us!

Wow! I did not realized they flocked like that but why wouldn't they. Very cool.

They are beautiful birds, but incredibly noisy and destructive.

I bet you wished you had ear plugs Lozzy

Mal's Flowers

This is what I envisioned when I picked out the flowers for Mal. They are to the left of the white chair, my chair, where Mal always liked to sit with me. This is also a great shot of the magnolia tree in bloom.

Stunning display Bob.

Thanks. Surprisingly the flock did not attack the flowers as soon as I pulled the cover. Aurora and Hattie were the most interested in eating them but I was able to discourage them. I'm going to try a small fence and see if limiting the grazing to those they can easily reach will be a suitable compromise.
