Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

They were having a lot of fun in the light rain but it came down viciously at times yesterday and they got caught out all over the yard.

Your poor flock. (Wet flock)

How are you doing today?

I slept in. Jaffar decided not to crow at his usual 05:15

Lucky you. Thank Jaffar for me. I do love his name.

Working from home does not help me with redicuious meetings at al

Aren’t they?! Clean butts too!

And your water is so picturesque. We got about 6" of rain with the storm and then another minor storm yesterday - but everything is just mud. No pretty paddling pools!

We need to do some butt cleaning this weekend ourselves. Lots of dirty butts from all the heat.

Why does the heat make for dirty butts? I will go and do a Princess butt inspection this afternoon - but we were out together on the lawn investigating the war-zone and I didn't notice any dirt.

Why so Many Posts this Morning BY Bob?

Work this week ate me up. I noticed a lot of interesting things this week with the flock that I want to share. I probably should hold on to one or two so each gets discussion time. I dislike it when interesting things get passed over because I posted too many at once. In fact, that's it. Let's discuss what I have posted so far.

I will close with a photo of a bunch of sad chickens who got caught out in a torrential downpour yesterday. Ned and Lucky are partially hidden in the background and Phyllis took shelter next to the house. Her tail is visible on the left. Hattie was in the nesting box laying an egg at the time. Good timing on her part.

Sydney looks particularly caught out and unhappy about the situation!

All of the diarrhea from them trying to keep cool in the extreme heat had created some messy butts. I think im going to do a large galvanized trough of water and have some fun with everyone.

Sydney does not normally mind the rain but it was nasty. She wound up under a chair that is not water proof so she was still getting dripped upon.

We had a shocking couple of days rain-wise today and yesterday. I thought I’d share some pictures of my girls channeling their inner duck.

We've had it too Lozzy. It bucketed down for 2 days straight & even though I opened the gate the girls huddled under the coop & complained. LOUDLY!
