Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[fuentemoon]

Rosie is still dropping feathers, not seeing any mites on anyone. And her feathers are looking a bit shredded, even the new ones.

Did you hear back from your vet @BY Bob

Bob, you know me more than many people here. I was asked to fly out to Utah today. I feel sad for Emily, but I do need to go on with my personal life. Do you think I might be safe doing so? Plan is to be back by Sunday for church deacon duties

4:50 pst Emily Angel left to be with the other angels and left this world a better place because she was here for a short time. She died in my arms, she died fighting for her last breath. Emily was a good member of my tribe, and an honor to have known. Rest in peaceful splendor lovely lady!

Alexander, are you okay? “Hell no, would you be?”!!!

Sad to read Emily died Alex. Have you any idea what she died of.
You mentioned water belly in an early post I think.

Gold penciled Hamburg.

Interesting breed the Hamburg. Seen them in Germany.

Yes, suffocation from fatty tissue around her lungs. Nothing I could help with

It is Friday and Maggie is flaunting her fluffy butt. Diana tried to do the same, but truth is that Diana is a bit challenged in the fluffy butt department.

Fabulous fluffage! I love both their coloring.

Jess is always good for a fluff shot...mug on the otherhand.... Storm runs so much that getting good shots at all is challenging. I love the colors too, and both blend in nicely too

Barred Rocks, the quintessential chicken. It cannot be denied.

Sydney is looking fantastic and extra fluffed I love the stepping out march too.

Minnie

I have been trying to get some good photos of Minnie so you all can advise on whether her stance suggests she is ill. Specifically if she has that ‘penguin stance’ thing going on.
She is not being very cooperative and is moving around really fast so these shots may not be good enough.
I continue to think she just looks better and better but of course that is what I want to believe!
I also think it looks like her rear end is down because she has so much fluff - honestly she looks like she is a toddler with a very, very full and saggy diaper/nappy. Dotty looks that way too.
What d’yall think?

He's very different from Rusty (size not withstanding). I haven't been able to learn much about them other than good fliers (he hasn't done much, but can get up quite a bit), like tree perching (he hasn't yet), and small (5 lb max compared to Rusty's 13 lb size). can you add to that?
