Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Baby just came up on the porch and bawked until I came outside. She has learned well and wanted treats. Since she braved the snow to get to the front porch she got her own hotdog bun. She just turned 4 months old and in the last week her comb and wattles have taken off and getting redder. This girl is really on track to lay that first egg between the 5 to 5 1/2 month old mark like so many of my hens have. Corona on the other hand, turns 5 months old today, and still has no comb or wattle development to talk about. Today is also a bittersweet day, Drumstick has been gone for 5 months. It really does not seem like he has been gone that long.

Anniversaries are hard.

I can’t let the chickens out today. And wow they are complaining about it! I have to go to the city today. They are safer in the coop and run, than the yard while I’m gone. When I return, they will still have a few hours to run the yard.

They will survive my friend.

I’m missing a few of my best.

Aren't we all. Time does that. She's a cruel mistress.

A mistress I could deal with, but not a thief. She’s both

Silent Film

I need to swap the camera which I have on the big run as it is an original with no sound. Since the film I took today was silent, I added a soundtrack. Enjoy the ladies scratching and pecking their way around the run today.

Fun! Busy ladies.
Also reminded me I need to get a cabbage for my Princesses.

Watching your chickens too much can lead to issues

For example, sometimes you just see weird stuff. I just watched Hattie sit like this for a couple of minutes. Weird right? She is walking around just fine right now.

Maybe she had some pain that passed?

First installment of the Beetov-Hen saga, and memorial: she was always there, wondering what I was doing. And jealous of any other chook that had my attention. And that was okay with me. View attachment 2964284

She would allow to make friends (as long as she’s the boss, and she’s been the Alfa, ever since she was a baby chick View attachment 2964293View attachment 2964298
