Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

OK, enough stalling. I have to drive to town and check my PO BOX. (No mail box on my property) Yep I'm that far into the boondocks!

Wait... am I looking at TWO brown leghorns? Who is the second one after Beethov-hen?

That's Hen-Rietta

I'm amazed, how did this happen....I'm only 5 pages back...

Anyone would think it was Caturday!

 

[drstratton]

My goodness! I've missed a whole pile of posts too. How did that happen?

Love the photo RC. Very atmospheric.

Same way it happens to me...overwhelming comments...

I can't help wondering if because of the Covid crisis and people being at home more and posibly spending more time than usual with their chickens, that behaviour that goes on day to day unnoticed is being seen now.

THIS.

I’m having so much fun watching your little princesses and learning what I have to look forward to! Flash says hi!

Hi Flash.
Adorable! Flash looks more golden than mine around the neck - mine are more silver and their 'dos' are darker too. I think they are totally enchanting chickens and I am sure you already are having a lot of fun with Flash.
Mine are still committed flyers in the 'why walk when you can fly' school of thought. Dotty actually flew right into me yesterday - navigation remains a bit of a challenge it seems!

Lucky you, I’m still about 40 behind!

Yes, she’s a hatchery bird, so likely not a high quality Legbar. I hope her eggs turn out to be blue, as they should. She’s an absolute sweetheart and adventurous, too! I think it’s hilariously cute that yours are into flying!

Silly Minnie
I was wondering how the Little Princesses would fit in a comb as well as their spiky hair-dos, and it turns out that Minnie can’t!
I hope it doesn’t get in the way of her seeing properly.

Is she a Legbar...I love her crest!
