Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

Check out That Neck

There have been significant developments in the last day. Aside from roosting in trees, the first I noticed was that Sydney's constant clucking has stopped. She now only clucks for them when she wants them to come to her or she has found food for them. The chicks are also wandering much further from their Mum. The following photos are from a moment when Sydney was behind my chair. I feel like she left Ned/Nanette out of her site.

And check out that Neck!

He can see allllll the way over there!

I still really like the composition of 2. Everything draws the eye back to the chickens rather than out of the picture. It's a lovely clear shot too. And of course the subject matter is beautiful!

I swear BR's are like 90% neck! LOL He is just adorable, and I am leaning more towards boy.

So let's see if we can win a picture of the week. Right now I'm leaning towards number 4 but 3 and 6 are getting votes as well. So here's some fun. Let's vote 1 more time. Which of these 3 are your favorite?

#2

the overall composition seems more balanced, plus it shows a lovely side profile of Aurora.

My phone likes to entertain you.

Denial is the first step to recovery! (blaming the phone, huh?)

 

[RoyalChick]

I saw that but how do I override the little ones!

Assume they are numbered starting with the first. Which is your favorite?

Ha ha. All of them!

#2 I concur. Best picture I think.

I should have started a contest, guess the sex, back when he/she was born. This is going back and forth like the ball at a Wimbledon finals match.

That soon? I never heard of such a situation.

There's been a couple of funny squaks(sp?) but this one had a distinct cockle doodle to it.

You should call them “The Susan’s”.... a friend of mine had 7 Barred Rocks and two other different breeds... she called the BRs The Susan’s ... Lazy Susan, Black-eyed Susan, Funky Susan........

Hahaha, that's awesome!
