Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Happy Friday everyone. I've been eyeballing one of my pullets for a week now. Snickers hatched the same day as Butter this spring. Butter started laying around the middle of October so I assumed she wouldn't be too far behind. Yeah, wrong, but in the past 2 weeks her face finally started coloring up and she's been very interested in the nesting spots. Several times when I've went to collect Butters egg I've found Snickers sitting on it. Well today she's all grown up. Mom brought in a egg that she assumed was butters but was like Butter was sitting beside it refusing to get up. I look the egg over and nope, not a Butter egg. Shape is slightly different and a shade darker then Butters and no spots. Butters always has a few purply spots. Told mom that it had to be Snickers, and my suspicions were confirmed a few minutes ago when Butter laid her own egg. If she had laid it yesterday just for the heck of it i'd have popped it in the incubator but not willing to try almost 2 days into the start of incubation.
Anyway now on to pictures.
I took this yesterday evening of Snickers. She is a lovely girl who sometimes gets overlooked as she's more standoffish then the rest of my mob. She stands back and doesn't hound me for treats, so I have to be extra careful to make sure she gets her fair share. And she is definitely a Look but don't Touch hen.

Congratulations! That is the best. Way to go Snickers!

Snickers is a very pretty young lady.

Aurora's fluffy butt is a magnificent cream puff!

She is looking quite beautiful these days. Even better, she is sort of well behaved as well.

Apparently it was Webster that was responsible for most of the changes to the spelling. He thought that letters like ‘u’ in words like ‘colour’ and ‘honour’ were pointless and if an ‘s’ sounded like a ‘z’, then make it a ‘z’!

I did not know that. Thanks for the education.

"Fritter me wig" is such a good replacement for almost any swear word

Thanks so much. Do you put them up there and then take them down? That is pretty high up there.

I put them up there, when they start wanting to leave the chicken blanket to perch.
