Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Actually, Charlie was her normal self today, no egg though. I'll keep a close eye on her the next couple of days. River seems to be picking up too with the antibiotics.

That is a very positive report. I hope they continue to improve.

That's from your phone, not the smiley face insert icon above the window...the semi-animated ones.

Late morning yogurt time

So had family over for dinner last night. The niece is home for visit between finishing Basic/A school (military's concentrated training for whatever job you'll be doing for them) and going to duty station. She's never petted a chicken. Of course no one will cooperate so....stole Thing 2 out of the coop when we went out to close it (didn't take phone for pic, but here's pic of Thing 2 aka the Feather Headed Dingbat)

After petting, holding, wondering over the soft feathers and 5 toes, we put Thing 2 back in the coopa nd head back inside. Hilarity ensues. She's trying to figure out how to bring the bird with her...
...service animal...
...comfort animal...no, need to get more creative to get bird past the military...
...bird's witnessed a UFO and has to be debriefed...
...bird's in witness protection program...
...the feathers of the crest act like antenna. The bird is an anti-spyware device. Bonus: will provide eggs too.

Thing 2 is still sleeping in my coop, but the ideas went nuts!

Why would a hen grow spurs?

They do sometimes. My Patsy had a full set. I'm not certain if it is hormone related or lack of rooster related but Patsy was fully armed. There are others in our group as well with armed hens.

Why are me and Jaffar watching plane crash tests on YouTube? I hope that this isn’t a premonition! I’m starting to feel scared

That's wonderful. Way to spread the wonder and love of chickens.

Why indeed? There has to be a better way to spend your time.
