Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Got a picture?

I do not. Maybe @MaryJanet could post one. She had one on a thread the other day. It looked pretty rough to me.

We have a cougar and a bobcat in our area. There has been no attacks on humans or livestock at all. But, boy you would think so for all the talk and fear around here.

Don't I know about that kind of talk.

These are closeups from the photos BY Bob mentioned.

She's always been scruffy, now I know why. I ought to have considered the cost of her beak to her grooming.

Daisy had her some gams! I think that's why they called her a LEGhorn.

My husband walked by earlier today and told me the hottest temperature on Earth for today was in Penrith, just down the mountain from us. 48.9C (120F) just before 4pm

Whaaaaat??? Crikey. That's a bit too full on.

Gosh, her beak's a right mess, isn't it! I didn't realise it was quite so bad but the close up really shows it up.

@BY Bob There's been an update on the man that the 3 lion's were snacking on, and the man who had murdered him been arrested. It seem's the 3 lion's were hungry and only trying to clean up the "free food" that had been left behind.

It's easy to see why she can't groom herself properly.

That was my first thought. When the thing said human remains I took it to mean the man was already dead and the lions were on cleanup duty.

Poor girl. That had to hurt. Can a beak grow back?
