Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Scrambles83]

I will be ordering this for Eve! It looks like fun.

I think it’s a series, this is just the one they had. There’s a band in it, it is so Snow, Belle and Bok looking we giggled so much it is very spangled and glittery, Vi was awestruck

And they are?

Does mud mean you finally got rain? That is good no?

They spilled over their water bowl, and rolled in their own mud. But they are cleaned up now.

Gorgeous photo!!! Calendar worthy for sure!

Thanks, and @BY Bob suggested I submit it for POW, looking into that I see you need to do a "My Chickens" page? Maybe but right now I don't feel up to it, too sad for me still, I feel I would want to include Queenie, and I'm not ready.

They looked so pretty amongst the Ajuga flowers (the dark blue spikes), and I was also trying to get a shot of Butters' neck and shoulders. She is getting new feathers, the pins coming out. A few under feathers, fluffy ones on her shoulders always stick out, like epaulettes. It's hard to tell but her outer neck feathers cover the big area of feathers that is missing, and it makes the covering feathers lay flatter, close to her skin. But she is doing very well now, even let me gently stroke her on her back. She is a sweet bird, very mellow (too mellow - glad to have Popcorn and Hazel, who are more predator-aware, always looking around, and jumpy!).

Oh for a silent layer! I really must record Minnie one of these days - she could wake the dead.

Mine are awful. When one lays an egg they all join in on the joyful celebration. It’s quite LOUD!

That feels like a new requirement to me. Maybe that's why I have never won!

I don't see any requirement for a my chickens page.

Jaffar update: he didn’t crow this morning, but he seems to have a lot of energy. He did his 1/2 acre rounds and made some hen sounds. He’s hanging out with Emily now, but here’s a pic. Taken 10 minutes ago.
