Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Plati's feathers broke when she kept flapping. They kinda snapped off, no blood. So I know one cause would be blunt trauma to the Feathers.

I wonder if she got stuck somewhere?

I wonder if she got stuck somewhere?

We’re those old feathers or newly grown? My ladies are obsessively bathing at the moment and I am wondering if the friction helps remove old feathers Like a loofah. Could it be the effects of a vigorous session with a loofah maybe?

Is Pepper disagreeable when broody?

That looks like a disagreeable hen to me....I'll red ahead but look at her face and hackles! That's one intense chicken. But she is really lovely nonetheless.

If looks could kill! Gezz!

Any more intense and the picture wouldn't come out!

I really don't know. She's been molting for like 6 weeks now. I can't keep track.

I'm going to have to find a name for this young hen. Trouble is she looks very like four of the others.

Trouble is a good name, it the shoe fits....

Broodies usually are feisty and angry.

And swear worse than sailors.....good thing it doesn't translate.

I have a good idea. I need to get rid of all my hens eggs. What do you peeps think about this?

Her little personality comes through on that picture . I'm grumpy just back off and leave me alone

We don't often hear a plane during the day.

As Tina was enjoying her lunch one passed over, her little head immediatly shot up and was straining too see what this noise was but not for long dinner was far more interesting

I wish I had my phone too take a picture, it was so lovely too see her interested
