Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

It's nice to see your chair outside the Chicken Palace. I've been trying to envision your set up for a while now.

Yes that is my chair where I can hang out and supervise Princesses in the long grass. They come by and visit me there but then go back out on safari. It is altogether a very peaceful place to be.

Look at Basil, no longer does he watch from the background hiding and staying unnoticed. I will admit though, that 1 tail feather drives me up the wall.

I think he is gorgeous - and the one tail feather is like a beauty-spot. A small imperfection that draws attention to his overall beauty.

I thought of you this morning Royal Chick when I caught Bubba cleaning his leg/feet feathers.

I know the picture was about thei fascinating feathers but they are huge! And Legertha really has a ‘do’!

The ends of her head feathers are starting to visibly poke out this morning. I need to get a photo.

Beautiful close up and really interesting feathers Bob.
Sylvie is so much lighter in colour than Legertha isn't she?

Sylvie does seem lighter. I keep waiting for some more orange to come through in the feathers. Sylvie is catching up in size. I noticed this morning they are a lot closer than they used to be.

He is a truly handsome fellow. He has great posture. Have you had any more losses or did you solve the problem, at least for now?
