Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

@featherhead007 I noticed in a recent picture two large picture of chickens on the wall, both polish - are they of BLU? Or BLU and Phyllis? How did you do it? I am thinking of making one of Queenie, in remembrance. I miss her so, so much.

Both those pictures are of @By Bob’s Phyllis. He sent them to me for BLU. Sadly he never got to see them.but my littlest peeps worship Phyllis. (So do I)

Sorry Bob, if I spilled the beans about your cherished gift.

Does she actually drink from it while she sits? If you put wet food there, would she eat too?

Yes and yes.

Didn't know it was a secret! How nice though. I'd love to find that picture you posted where they're in the background I looked but couldn't.

For the longest time I thought the rays of light coming from inside your coop were little fairy lights you strung up instead of holes.

Oh, that’s so cute! Just a tiny bit of ventilation for hot, summer days.

Ruby just put herself to bed, only a little over two hours early. She was pretty subdued most of the day, but perked up a bit once it cooled off.

She opted to jump three feet instead of taking a ramp to get up to the deck. However, she opted out of making the second jump, about 18 inches, to get to a roost and put herself to bed on a poop board. Right under where Lucky roosts. I may encourage her to move over a bit.

I have never had this before this year. Very odd

I will add this to your “odd” Beetov-Hen has one white feather also.?

It’s many pages back. I’m out with the chickens, but I will post another one later.

Yes and yes.

That's comforting!

When broody, Ivy gets up to eat, drink, poop, and dust bathe. Her most recent broody spell was around 30 days and I believe she'd have gone longer had I not intervened. She lost a little condition but that's natural and she regained it quickly.

Wet Wattles
I got slo-mo of Maggie dunking her wattles. It was really hot - around 90 degrees - today and I am surprised she didn't go all out and submerge her comb as well.

Gratitude to @BY Bob for showing me slo-mo - I really love it.
