Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Thank your, Bob. It was a nice day. My husband and I also went kayaking on our local reservoir (note how crazy low the water is for the end of rainy season).

Looks like a wonderful day. I am glad you finally snuck one in. The water sure is low though.

She's definitely called Staunch.

Lady Hopsalot? Because she hopped up on your head.

What a beautiful moment
Nova?
Phoenix?

Thank you all, I love the name suggestions!

@LozzyR. This is nutz, but I heard my roo Jaffar screaming, and it seems the hen went down a rabbit hole and got stuck. Without Jaffar, I would never have found her. I dug her out, and am getting her washed up.I am so relieved!! My rooster is a true hero to me now! This is them together View attachment 2600972

I am SO happy to hear that you found your missing hen! Jaffar is such a smart roo for alerting you! What a good boy!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share with you all what happened over the weekend! On Saturday afternoon, I went out to my backyard to feed Cinnamon & her little ones. While I was out there, something must've scared them, because all of the chicks started to scatter. One of the chicks took me by surprise and flew up onto my head and decided to perch there. I considered it a huge compliment that she thought of me as a "safe place".

Here's the little chicks Monday mugshot! I haven't named her yet! If any of you have any name ideas, please feel free to share them with me!

That is so special. They have adopted you as an honorary chicken mum.

Very interesting names! Giddings - I have to look up what that is!

Me too, though I keep expecting Bob to provide the context so I may wait...

I rather like Hildegard. Though that may suit one of @Ribh 's Vorwerks better

If that doesn't earn Jaffar her eternal love and gratitude, nothing will. Well done Jaffar. Oh, and well done Alex too.

I looked @ this one ~ several times ~ but none of my Vorwerks are remotely warlike. I think it might suit a RIR or NH better...

Home Again

Everyone, I was at my youngest daughter's for a long weekend to celebrate the holidays. We have gotten home safely. Now I can set about catching up on everyone else's threads. I will be more present starting tomorrow. I have chicken stories to tell.

Welcome home Bob!
I’m sure your feathered ladies missed you but seeing your family is the best reason to be away. I’m assuming you caught up on all the latest Bluey’s whilst there
Cant wait for the stories

Millie came home!

Yay, Lil Mill!
Is that pine shavings on the ground? If so, how do they go in wet weather?

There’s a local short story contest (750words) thats closing in 2 days. Topic is ‘the gift’.
I’ve known about it for a month but haven’t had that moment of cohesion with an idea that fits the topic.
I’m considering writing something based on Penny and Bok. It could turn out totally lame but it could turn into something decent.
My first feathered ladies, and so many intangible gifts that we have given each other that it might just work...
I have a lot of emotion going on with Bok right now, I need to do something with it
