Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Love this comment! I was asking DH what renting a chipper entails. His answer? “Oh, Hon. Those are super dangerous.”
But I still want to rent one. LOL.

edited to add: when I asked what it entails, I simply meant do we need a hitch and trailer or can we bring it home in the back of an SUV.

Let me know what you discover! Home Depot in some places will deliver a rental chipper - but not from any of the stores near me.

That’s good info! I did not know you could rent from home depot. I’m tempted to buy one, but think the ones in my price range might not be adequate.

@goldenfingers, how is your egg bound girl?

She passed the problem egg yesterday evening and is back to her fun self today. Hopefully tomorrow will also be good. Even though they have problems, these girls are tough and they just soldier on. Thanks for caring, and it's great to see your eye healing!

We re-did the main run for my layers. That meant every one was out for most of the day. I was able to get some really nice shots.

I'll do thumbnails again.

The Pretties, as I call them, settled down for a nap after free ranging most of the day.


All of my girls are growing beautiful feathers back.

Photos don’t really do it justice, and I’m not sure I’m up for more work today. I did take my loppers and cut up some of the brush, but my arms are just too tired to lift them anymore this weekend. The area I cleaned up was maybe 60 feet (20 yards-ish) by about 8 feet deep. I got it down to these piles:

Here’s what’s left of the little brush:

It’s maybe a 15-foot diameter pile. Pictures don’t do it justice, but I kicked booty this weekend.

Dang, you really did!

Beautiful flock! We want to see the run, too!

Yay!

I pieced mine together from multiple sources. I believe that the Araucana is the Chilean hen that is mentioned in yours. As for the crest, I could not find a source. My guess is it is a partial expression of the beard and muff somehow but that is truly a guess.

I thought the photos we have seen of the Cream Legbars looked rather like my Alice, except for the colouring.
