Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

The Iridescence of Black Hens

We had awful thunderstorms last night but they left us a gorgeous morning. The girls have been running all over the yard trying to get all the worms and insects disturbed by the storms.

Every once in a while they pass through a shaft of sunshine. I decided to try and grab some photos of the black ladies in sunlight. I love how their feathers gleam green and blue when the sun hits them. No one was standing still but here is what I got.

Nice! You captured the blue/green highlights as well as the purposeful strides of those busy girls.

That’s great! How do you get so lucky!?

Lots of time on Facebook!!! LOL Our county has a free giving group, where you post whatever you have for free. These folks happened to be about 1/2 a mile from my house so it was great!

That is awesome! The kennel will be great for hanging with the chooks. Just great news.

You could have called her Bobbie. she is adorable though.

I suggested that, but Anna wanted the names to match.

You are definately correct on hypothermia.

Those will work as well.

I can't even spell hypothermia!

Spellcheck baby! I can't spell worth a darn. Spellcheck has saved my professional life.

That's quite a stercoraceous way of looking at it! @BY Bob

I bet that is warm and lovely.

Warms my heart most of all.

These threads can run away from you quickly! I use a reaction so I know where I’m up to (and I do really like the posts!)

Same here!

In my experience they do not sink even after they have passed.

Wow! I’m sorry you had to experience that.
