Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Only purple corn for purple chickens.

That is it! She has a keen sense of color coordination. Yellow corn just would not look good with her outfit - and as she is getting beautiful new purple feathers she is right to focus on how they look with her snacks!

Until the Philistines are laying, or close, there's going to be some distance anyway. My pullets are at POL (haven't done so yet), and are still not permitted to snuggle in with Silver and Pear. The cold may change that some, but the distance is still demanded and enforced by the older birds. Cheetah is allowed closer, but until he's successful in his courting of the older girls, will also be kept at a bit of distance.

For sure. The Roadrunners have been here for 16 months and they are expected to maintain a respectful distance from the older Princesses when roosting. Same roost but at least a foot in between.

I luv you peeps a lot, my chooks are all healthy and safe. Perfect time, (and weather) to stretch my Eagles wings (AKA Marie) so I’m off to the airport in a few. Even Beethov-Hen is doing great today!

I’m going to give my hanger guy “Paul “ a $200 dollar tip, for being on stand by for me and Beethov-Hen yesterday! Yes, I called my veterinarian today and thanked her for her diligence.

According to color theory, yellow is complementary to purple. Perhaps Hattie believes it will rejuvenate her color in a similar fashion to how hair products are advertised.

Or, she is getting rid of the purple ones fast so that all pictures of her lovely lavender self will be against complementary yellow corn and the purple won’t be a visual distraction.
I wish we spoke chicken and could ask her!

How have I never put that together! Well done!

That’s not Phyllis, only a body double. You can’t fool me!

There is no body double, only Phyllis, and there is only 1 Phyllis.

It is sad. I hope I didn’t offend anyone by posting it. I was so impressed with the hens standing together, which is why I posted it. I thought it demonstrated more complex socialization; a coordinated effort to protect each other. Smart birds!

It has provided some interesting discussion. Thanks for posting it.
