Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

he looks kinda like the pic below but more red and super long spurs

We need to see a photo of him. He sounds wonderful.

I don't think I've fully appreciated her iridescence until now. Or the variation in her colouring. What a lovely hen.

She is very beautiful. I am always reminder of my Lord Protector, Lilly when I see Fat Bird. They really are quite similar.

No RC, they are just spoiled rotten!

Edit to add... I meant Bob's hens...

They may well be. I don't think I can deny it.

This bring an image to mind of putting on your thongs to tend to your chickens (has to be 2 pairs of course)

What would the neighbours say?

It'd be pretty chilly to do that here today.

Just Call Me Match-Maker Michelle!

Ok, I have to brag. The stars aligned in chicken land TWO nights in a row with my assistance.
1.) Wednesday after work, I saw a Nextdoor post about a found hen. This was about nine hours after the post, with no hits. I posted on a different local forum here that has a much broader audience and found the owner in 12 minutes! She was so happy and thought for sure her hen was "a goner" (her words).
2.) While trying to help with that hen, before I found the owner, I texted a chicken friend and asked if she knew anyone with a missing Gold Laced Wyandotte. Instead of texting back, she called. We chatted a bit and she shared that her daughter's beloved rooster had just recently died. (I remember seeing pics of her on facebook several years back walking him in a stroller!) She LOVED her rooster and was heartbroken. My friend asked that I let her know if anyone is looking to get rid of a rooster. The next day, I texted my other close chicken friend and asked, "You have a bantam rooster, but are keeping him, right?" She texted back right away, "Do you need one? I found out today I have 2!" Ironically, "Emily" decided to crow the very day I had a different friend in need of a rooster. So today they connected and now Emily has a new loving home and the heartbroken teenager has a cockerel to dote over.

So there you have it. I connected 1.) found hen with lost owner and 2.) cockerel in need of a new home with a loving new family over the course of two nights.

That is so awesome!!

He was very well mannered!! He didn't even poo on the floor.

What a character he is!

I may be responsible for this behavior. He may have learned from Phyllis who now has a bowl in the house. Phyllis is actually inviting others in and was trying to knock over the meal worms bag right before I took this photo.
