Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Temperature wars? I can’t play it. I’m here at 49’f right now

Same. It’s beautiful here today, but the darn hawk scared the girls back in. I locked them in the run and came inside for a late breakfast, but I’ll let them back out in a little bit. Here they are a few hours ago when I first let them out.

Yes, the flat panel like the TV.

Wait… I didn’t realize brinsea made those?

Weather seems strange today. Overcast and foggy out, but air quality is rated poor. Makes it hard for me to breathe

Ok.., prepare yourself for the dorkiness. Here is Buttercup’s song (I need to learn the rest of the tune and write some lyrics for her).

And here is Sunshine with her head in my armpit and then one of her songs.

Buttercup is too cute!

Close to 0F, -17C this morning. Tremendous wind yesterday, and very calm today. After the pop door opened I went out there and upped the heating pad in the coop to medium. Finally the sun rose enough over the hill to hit the run.

This afternoon Hazel began a bath, sounding little boks while she beaked around in it and made a hole; Peanut ran right over to her and got in, standing and digging next to her, finally getting down too. Hazel then started making loud, deep, running bok purrs with every breath. I took this and the next pic from the door, not wanting to disturb them.

Peanut's head is getting new feathers I believe. She has had whitish, almost bald-looking patches, above her comb and especially her cheeks, but they are tiny pins I think (hope). The rest of her is feathering out pretty quickly but she's not full-feathered yet and she can't fluff much. Her comb is pretty pale, Hazel has the most pink of them all and is not very pink.

Beyond adorable! Buttercup seems to be singing along.

Sigh. Maggie went to bed in her nest-box again. She didn’t seem poorly. On the contrary she was very active today. I think she just likes to be alone sometimes. She had always had the habit of going for solitary walkabouts (with me following attentively), so maybe she just wants alone time. It is strange. She was very sociable with the others all day.

Change in temp. It is actually 19°F here. -7°C
