Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Thunder has little man syndrome. He "thinks" he's a big man!

This is Thunder, Mama, and Lacey. Mama wasn't in the picture because she's inside raising my babies for me.

These are very pretty and very fancy chickens.

Seems the good day never ends. Just now, I went to the local market, and the owner knew before, that I had lost so many hens lately, he had a (almost laying age) New Hampshire Red Pullet, he gave to me for free. She has a little deformed beak problem, but nothing I can’t handle.
She’s a lovely pullet, and I will have her trained to my home in no time. Two week separation isn’t going to be fun, but I can handle that also. I’m back up to eleven chickens now, YAY!

Show us her photo!
Congratulations on your new baby!

I put her on my lap when I give her her vitamin drink. For the past few evenings she's stayed there until the rest of the tribe have gone to roost.
She tells me when she's ready to join the rest and I carry her up to the coop.
A week or so ago I put her on a perch in the evenings. Ther past few nights she wanted to pick her own spot and I've left her on the floor of the coop. She can manage to jump to the higher perch and settle even with her balance problems.
Last picture is Cillin coming home. If Fat Bird is on the ground he'll escort her up to the coop.

She is truly lovely.

I guess I have been through a lot lately.

You really have. It’s good something good happened!

It's called a strimmer here.

I like that. Strimmer. I could never have guessed it.

It keeps me up, too.

Look how pale those leghorns combs are! And how skinny they are. That made me so sad to see that.
I hate people sometimes!

This is one of the ones I plan to take home. Likes to fall asleep in my hand. I'm hoping the big beak doesn't mean roo.

I’m getting to be a chicken (master chickeneer ) it seams. I love chickens so much, I’m taking online poultry courses to know what to watch for. Even my county office has a library online for agricultural purposes. Awesome!

That is awesome. I didn’t know there were online poultry classes.

Special times with good friends.

Patsy would do the same with me in the morning after her medicine. Such trust.
