Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

What happened after Bob. That looks like a broody posture especially with the head movements.

Nothing
Nothing unusual, she came over and tried to beg a snack from me.

Hah! So I'm not the only one checking out others reading material!

I learned from you!

She looks like she’s just chilling. I’ve seen my girls do that.

Yes mine are big into just chilling - they usually do it in a patch of sun in the afternoon. When they all do it together it is quite simply adorable!

@Ali James
You mentioned Major a while back so I thought I would post the picture of him that hangs on my wall. As you can tell from the picture, he isn't well. He died a few days after. A friend of mine took a picture of him and painted this from the picture she took.

What an amazing gift. I'm sure it's nice to have something to remember him by.

It did look like that. No breakouts in the last week. Maybe she needs a new way out?

What are you doing to Phyliss, to make her want to escape? What on earth has that ball of fluff done to you? ( do you feel guilty yet?)

Some Excitement Today

I thought I would share a non chicken related story from today.

With Eve's 1st birthday approaching Mrs BY Bob and I went on the web and ordered a few educational items for her. Unfortunately we had to go pick them up as delivery would not make it in time. So we left the house today.

The Alfa has not responded well to sitting around and was a little cranky when I started it up. So I thought it would make sense to come home via the highway so I could rev her up to something over 35 mph (55kph).

We were nearly to our exit, the car was humming like it should, when up ahead of me I saw a huge cloud of dust in the median to my left. The first thing I recognized in the dust cloud was a wheel flying in the air. I immediately realized a car was rolling and kicking up the dust.

Mrs BY Bob was not paying attention but I slowed the car and pulled onto the shoulder.

There has been a car accident to our left, we need to help. Mrs BY Bob is a nurse.

I'll dial 911, you head over and I'll join you after I finish the call.

As soon as the car stopped she was out and moving and I dialed. She successfully crossed three lanes of highway traffic.

By the time I got off the phone, this was the scene.

I don't know how the driver was able to stand. He did smell of alcohol. He did not take her instruction and sit but overall did not seem seriously hurt. Just amazing.

The police arrived and we departed.

We returned home, went out back and sat with the chickens, and enjoyed an adult beverage.

That was too much excitement for me. It's the second time we have stopped to help people in accidents who turned to have been drinking prior to the accident.

I do not feel guilty at all.

Too much excitement all round.
