Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

She posed for me today. It was like a photoshoot.

You're Angry
You're Happy
You're Sad
You're Sexy
You're Hungry
You just ate a worm

I love how you staggered the photos in the square, it’s very striking. And I LOL’d at the “you just ate a worm” bit!

Feisty little madam, currently has the two salmons holed up in the enclosed part of the tractor. I had to put separate food and water in there because she won't let them out.

She looks a right bossy britches. Just the ticket for a happy flock

Integration Day 8, continued
The other thing that really warmed my heart today happened after I had an early dinner and came back out. All 6 came running to see me. Aurora led the way of course but the newbies came running as well.

I remember one time I came home and my husband had let out all the girls, and baby Bessie came running up to me. My heart melted! Of course, she wouldn’t let me touch her!

The Favorelles they're so pretty!

There are some very good chicken photographers on these threads with some very photogenic chickens!

It always makes me sad when they molt. It looks so uncomfortable.

Hope she's feeling better soon.

Thank you for the well wishes. My girls are a bit camera shy.

The little white dots on her shoulder and wing are where the new feathers are coming in. She has no tail left and most of her butt fluff is being replaced.

Thank you! I love the salmon colouring. Tegan is the same colour as Lucy and Chickie but a different shape.

My hubby just sent me a link to this article. Not sure how peer-reviewed it is, but I think some very qualified people write for it often.

It will be interesting watching her and Lucy go head-to-head.
