Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Miss_Lavransdatter]

Love the name! Chickens do have the fluffiest butts

I've noticed hens develop very strong habits.

Stubborn is another way to describe it.

Eve was so good with the cats, we decided she could be trusted with a "bok bok". She had me carrying her around the house so she could see all the "bok bok" pictures. So Phyllis volunteered to come in and meet her.

How about some free range time together?

She has such a gentle way for such a young child. It was tough circumstances for them but we got a great visit out of it.

Glad you had a great time with her. This video is better then any picture of them playing dress up. That can wait until summer when princess dresses and the whole flock can be involved.

Louis says "I told you so!"

It's amazing how everyone is doubting Phyllis now when it is still too early for her prediction to come true.

Here is a snapshot of our forecast for next week, still a week early for her prediction. This looks like spring to me! It is certainly better than the 20s we have been in for weeks on end.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed. Louis

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed. Louis

Thank you ChicoryBlue. Growing up that was one of my favorite tv shows. It still occasionally plays every now and then on certain channels and if I remember I still watch it.

I just love the time Mr Ed pretended he was shot by pouring ketchup on himself. I can still here Mr. Ed saying, "Wilber, I've been shot!"

I notice my girls prefer the nesting box that has eggs in it. Even if they are fake eggs.

My boxes all have fake eggs........

After a tiring morning at the docs office with hubby, I spent some time out with the girls. Husband cleaned the coop for me. Why do they want to dig circles in that clean fresh straw? I waited for a fluffy butt to turn my way. Got it! View attachment 2537403View attachment 2537404 Almost gone, a handful of scratch.

Louis wants to know if there is unlimited green grass in California? If so and if one promised to NEVER give him a crunchy cheetos as a treat he's packing his bags and moving there. He also requires his own personal chicken that he can throw food out to and will perch on his head or butt. If there's no chicken, its ok he'll bring his own. "I'll send Karen with him lol."

Ok. I have to know. What's with the Cheeto? I know I am risking a SHRA moment, but I must know!
