Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I've told you all that Raven and Blueberry have became my troublemakers and or pranksters. Just a few minutes ago Blueberry took it to a whole new level. I feed the horses their breakfast at 7:30 on the dot every morning, and give the chickens their 1lb can of whole corn to start their day. When I walk out the door its still fairly dark out and everyone is on the roost until I start scattering the corn which I do after I give the horses their grain that way I do not have chickens flying off at me. This morning, starts off the same, come out the door to Basil and Branch on the roost crowing, tell everyone good morning and go grab the coffee cans of breakfast. Give Dirt his first and walk and give Louis his. That leaves Russ's and the chickens breakfast to go when bam out of nowhere she hits me. Blueberry had came off the roost to land on my shoulder but seeing as I wasn't expecting the kamikaze attack I ended up having a heart attack and dropping both cans in the middle of the stalls and spilling both trying to get the crazy chicken off me. Russ is now upset pitching a fit as his breakfast in on the ground out of his reach and everyone else is now flying off the roost to help themselves to Blueberry's prize. After a minute to get my heart rate back to normal and calling Blueberry every name under the sun I go refill Russ's can and give him his breakfast. That sneaky girl did it on purpose I swear. And to top it off in the middle of the chaos I hear it, Bubba's first crow. Yes he sounded like he was being strangled but I think he was congratulating her on her efforts this morning. I really miss Henrietta, but she and her antics lives on in her Granddaughter.

Chickens flying at your head can be quite startling!

Your friend has some lovely hens, but you have to know which two are my favorite.

Yes I do. You surely have a type.

 

[RebeccaBoyd]

Yes I do. You surely have a type.

Well that type is expanding to include feathered feet, and blue as well. Glares at Blueberry, your on thin ice girly and there are 6 more blue feathered feet girls running around who would not dream of pulling the stunt you did this morning.

More Chickens

I have been taking care of my friend JD's chickens while they are on vacation. I though I would share pictures of them with you all.

Whenever you mention your friend, I catch myself wondering if it is the same one I know by that name that lives in PA. Then I remember you had a video of him caring for your flock and he is not the same one. But it sure would be a small world if it landed that way!

Lovely feathery friends ❤

It was interesting for sure! Has Hattie gone after the littles at all?

Hattie was chasing Sidney wasn't she @BY Bob & @micstrachan ? Maybe away from hassling the Littles? If not, it still had that effect.
