Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[CrazyChookChookLady]

Ok a lighter note... and yes they are destined for freezer camp in a few weeks time so don’t get too attatched to the cuteness... they are hunting me!

I am feeding them twice daily now, free ranging them from 9am until 4 or 5 most days (if I am not in the area I just move the tractor twice daily, but I’m here most of the time)

That's hilarious!!

Those birds look amazing too!!

They are very cool looking aren't they. I always picture meat birds as those weird looking chickens in the Purdue commercial.

Today's Fluffy Butt has to be Hattie! There is no need to warn anyone, her butt is fully covered now and thankfully she is well on her way to wrapping up her molt. So here is a short photo essay on my sweet molting hen.

Yes, I did lure her in with a little of her favorite, cracked corn! I love the flare her neck feathers make in that last photo. I'm so glad she is almost done before the freezing temperatures arrive.

She is going to be so beautiful soon.

She is such a beauty! She is so much bigger than my lavender Orps. Alice and Abby are a year old now, so I'm not expecting them to get any bigger at this point. But, they are still pretty little birds.

She is 7 lbs. She may seem big compared to my others. I don't think she is exceptionally large.

Hi Vicki! Looking good.

I'm pretty sure Alice and Abby are more like 5 lbs. I have not weighed them, but they are definitely petite compared to my BOs, more the size of my RIRs.

She is very pretty and very fluffy!

That is so cute. I love when they follow you around. Thanks for posting!

They follow me along the fenceline and rush my feet, making it almost impossible to walk through them. The little red rocks are doing it too now, but Sammy will occasionally round them up and take them back to the tractor for snacks.
