Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

It is also always winter somewhere!

I can't tell you how soothing @ChicoryBlue's snow pics were over the weekend!

I cannot find those pics of the hens smoking where are they?

Today's mugshot is courtesy of Holly. I actually got several but I love this one.

They do here as well, all except Donk who is Ribh in chicken form.

I like Donk.

I have maybe settled on a name for the little one. Arduinna... (ardwenna) thoughts? It’s a Gaulish Forest Goddess name. I was looking for forest in different languages, and DH hasn’t objected too strongly to this offering. He might just be tired from goat sitting while I did morning chore prep for making that early boat with Roostie and baby goat. Wish us luck, we both still need supper and showers, and to organize and pack up the truck.

You will get no arguments from the woman who has a coopfull of chickens named after Celtic godesses.

I just couldn't let this one slip by.
Tribal creatures please if you must. Birds, or fowl are not considered to be animals and chickens, as I would love to prove to you by having you visit for a few months are not flock creatures.


I'll get my coat then,

Please elaborate. You are saying, not a "flock of chickens", it should be a "tribe of chickens". Please explain how you see the difference between a tribe and a flock. I am willing to correct my lazy language and utilize correct terms provided you can make a solid case. I believe that you likely know better than most "experts" and so I am willing to listen.

I've tried in the past to get a picture of Hinge that shows the flap of skin just below her wattles. This flap of skin didn't die after the second hawk attack she survived. She's survived three so far. This years moult was the first time the skin under the flap grew feathers. In fact, this year has been the first year that Hinge has produced such a magnificent feather growth all over.

I zoomed in on her face. Mistake. She does not seem happy.
