Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

And a windy side of same Rusty

Poor Rusty. Tidbitting Mama over a blueberry....Mama calling Storm over, "Eat! Eat! It's good! You must eat much to grow big strong feathers!"

Dora, my Dorking

One of the mini-Sansas

Twirp, of the rose comb(?), green legs, no crest, all attitude maybe legbar persuasion?

See? All attitude!

Thing 2, aka the Feather-headed Dingbat. Coloring up beautifully!

One of the white sapphires (hybrid: CCL roo x white leghorn, supposed to lay blue eggs, no POL age listed, so 9-12 more weeks?) And Cuckoo, the barred rock with pencilled breast markings...

Cheetah, gold pencilled Hamburg, and full of attitude too. (Not heard him trying to crow...yet)

It sounds like they are interested in your feathers. They must want to know that it is still you as your feathers change every day! Theirs do not. I find chickens to be very curious animals.

Yes, with the houndstooth shorts they were pushing the folds of the wrinkles like they were separating feathers indeed. It's a softer texture than my regular gardening / chicken pants. Though they still love to explore the elastic waist back on those. A fascination with wrinkles because they sort of look like feathers maybe? :

Here's my chicken pic:

He's gorgeous! What breed(s)?

I am beginning to understand my place in the tribe.
Minnie will squat for Maggie but not for me.
What with that and Dotty trying to chest bump me and pulling out the feathers on the backs of my legs I think I have lost all semblance of being in charge in any way!

Mine scatter their own crumbles and then eat them off the ground.

Extra flavoring.

Storm clouds change from moment to moment. Storm looks different depending on the light...and BLENDS in shadows!

It got glitch, so a double fluffy rooster butt. (Forgot to post yesterday.

It's a great bum! I did not mind seeing it twice.

Beautiful tribe you have there!

I'm not certain if we might be having a language issue or not. I was taught that the following are "Books" of the Bible. For example in the New Testament you will find these "Books":

• Matthew
• Mark
• Luke
• John
• Acts
• Romans

And the the following were the chapters of Romans for example:

• Romans 1
• Romans 2

Now I have no idea if it is language disconnect or if I had a rogue minister teach me. But this is what I was taught.

How about a photo of the Big 3.

Technically, a good chunk of the New Testament are letters....looooong letters in some cases....
