Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Today's Weather was Rediculous

How often do you see crystal clear pool water and snow! It is crazy here this spring. The ladies ran for cover when the snow started. They were only to be found huddling under the coop.

Once the snow stopped, they came over to let me know that it was cold out and they needed some corn to warm up.

Love seeing them all together. And it looks like you got the critter ladder for the pool. Let me know how it works out.

It is a critter ladder! You all are very sharp. Here it is up close. I hope it works!

Oh sorry. I am a bit behind. Just posted that I saw that!

They seem to be nice people. I'm sure the chicks will do well and at least they have each other. Many little ones don't get to keep their friendships.

That's why I have 6 instead of 5. I don't regret keeping them together at all.

I have to start covering everything in my posts. You folks notice everything. I will let you know how it works. So far so good. At least it hasn't blown away.

That was so clearly the right decision!

I had heard such bad things about Wyandottes. I should have known better. She is my little sweetie.

It is a far cry from what I would wish for. There are a number of factors that have influenced my decision.
I can't afford to feed the chickens that are here already, strange as this may seem to some.
I depend on my cash income from those working in the main house and three of them are now unemployed. The responsibility of feeding the chickens has fallen to me; the alternative was get rid of at least half of the chickens.
I don't really want to dwell on the crap that goes on here but with the current population about one sixth of my total monthly income goes on feeding the chickens.
The chances of re-homing with anyone who is not likely to eat them in the not too distant future is low.
This is the best I can do for them in the current circumstances.

That sucks. I wish we could help somehow.

I was greeted by this sight this morning.

All my Wyandottes have been lovely! Alpia is an absolutely gorgeous girl. Polite as well as pretty.

I just love that they do this.
