Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Look at all those blood vessels working overtime to supply the necessaries for repair!
(I've been watching an anime called "Cells at Work" which anthropomorphizes the body's cells ☺ )

Is it very sore micstrachan?

Sounds interesting! It’s a little tender and aches a bit when ibuprofen wears off, but really not too bad!

Australian Araucana. I think they are probably the same stock as British.
I'll have to do some research too.

Oh, I bet! Lert us know if you learn anything.

I'm so glad it is healing so well. It does seem a little close for comfort. Maybe some goggles are in order while working with the brush?

Um... . YES.

 

[micstrachan]

Then you'd need somewhere to store it. You'd also need to get it serviced regularly.
Naaaaaah.

Good point. Nope!

I have been wanting to do this for some time now. I knew once I started doing this there would be no going back. So I am now diving in and I hope you all enjoy coming along for the ride.

First of all let me tell you how we view our flock as that will help you to understand why we treat them like we do.

Our birds are our pets and we treat them as such. We do not care if someone is not laying eggs. They are welcome to stay at Fluffy Butt Acres until they pass naturally. (Now don't go telling them that! I would hate for word to get out) We do thoroughly enjoy the fresh eggs.

I plan to tell stories from the past as well as from today. I hope you all enjoy and will share stories of your flocks as well.

Aww, so cute! I love hearing about other people's chickens!

You sure did. Good for you. Very impressive. That was a real accomplishment.

I just printed photos, mounted them in frames and then continously rearranged them to please Mrs BY Bob. Much less stressful.

Fun project! It turned out fabulously.
Now Lexi the dog and I have a new fame called “Chase the Rat.” I ask her “Wanna chase rats?” She perks up and runs to the door, I grab a bright flashlight or floodlight and then I say “Get it!” and open the door. We both go running out there to see what we can see. We went out four times last night. I would not have seen a single rat except Lexi was chasing one all over! It ultimately jumped into another brush pile, so I have lots more work to di. I’m interested in a Black and Decker alligator and Scotts 7.2 pruning shears for this job

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

Yes! The crest is from the Araucana/“Chilean hen,” I believe!

 

[micstrachan]

Thanks, she was preening & that was a very lucky shot.

Gotta get ‘em while you can!

 

[micstrachan]

They are marvelous. That picture of Mhari is outstanding! That's "wall-worthy"!

YES!

Alice sure is a looker with feathers. I like that white butt as well.

White butt! Of course you’d like that.
