Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Wow! They are really clever. Sneaky sneaky ladies.

I just love the guilty look in that last photo.

I was prepared for this from Momma, but why did she have to talk the others into joining her. She's crazy I tell you, starting this when the last several days dealt with freezing rain and have a winter storm warning supposedly for the new few days. It is NOT the time to be thinking of hatching eggs. If she was just farther along in the broody cycle I would let her have the 6 that just hatched, but too soon for that darn it.

Those pictures warmed me up.

I miss you sun my old friend. I look forward to seeing you again some day.

If I posted a picture of my sunny day, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

It is Time to Go Back

Yes everyone, it is time to enter the Wayback Machine. Mr. Peabody, let's set the Wayback Machine for February 2019.

Jabber convinced Hattie that it would be a good idea to roost up on some chair legs, the chairs had been knocked over in a storm, so that he could stare me down at the coffee pot.

The only problem now was that they needed to get down once I left the coffee pot.

There was really only 1 way.

Mr bluebird was impressed, "That was almost as good as a real bird".

Miss Lilly was not, "What an idiot! Taking her up there like that. She could have broken a leg. Does he not realize she is dual-purpose! She is not svelte like me. I can think of a dual purpose for that goober!" View attachment 2529546


Well that was fun Mr. Peabody. Why don't we go back further. Let's set the Wayback Machine for February of 2018.

How about a Vintage Video!? Here is the Big 3 enjoying what? Why spaghetti of course!

Also spotted back then, the rare snowback Maran! Just look at the beautiful sheen in those feathers!

Well Mr. Peabody, this has all been fun but there is one momentous event which we must go see. Please set the Wayback Machine for February 2020.

We met some new friends for the first time on February 9, 2020.

Here they are in the car on the way home.

Into the big run!

Well Mr. Peabody, that's all we have for today. It's time to head back home! Set the Wayback Machine for 2021!

Yayyyyyy!

I'm starting to think molting for chickens is like periods in women. You're cranky, everything hurts, you want left alone, and only junk food looks good to eat.

Such a good thought!

Such a good thought!

I sure wouldn’t know.

It’s extremely hard to use this iPhone, when I have my 5 babies trying to snuggle up to me.

Would be good for me. Just to remember what sun looks like.
it got above freezing for a few hours today but no sun and it will be well below tonight so everything will be like an ice rink. I will need to scatter some grit to get safely to the Chicken Palace.

That does not sound like a fun time! Stay safe!

I bought a few bales of straw and threw a bunch in the run and nest areas.

I had to sprinkle cracked corn over the straw for Ned and his ladies. They were afraid of it.
