Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[goldenfingers]

I really like that photo.

Thanks! Since Ginger died, Mrs. Howell has been pretty mean when food is involved. I got that shot before she scared Maryanne off.

What a difference a few feathers make
First we have Dotty. A picture of misery.

Then her sister Minnie luxuriating in a lot of fluff.

And then side by side.

Hard to believe it's the right thing for a chicken to do.

Betty in the Afternoon Sun

Betty gets her shot at the chopped straw. I think she is very dramatic in the Afternoon sun.

Hopefully it won't be long before you can get out with your little ones again

I get out but I have to sit in the coop complex with them. It's not the same as being in the yard with them. But I'm being a baby. It's winter, what do I expect?

Hard to believe it's the right thing for a chicken to do.

I know. I just feel so bad for them. For sure it can't be the right thing to do during a record-breaking cold January. What was she thinking?!

Mine do the hay and sticks on their back thing when they are broody and I have made them get up, it is also a sign with mine they are going broody.

Aurora has never even thought about being broody. She would rather bully the others.

She is such a beautiful creature

That she is. And mean too.

Beautiful gesture and something important to remember.

Betty in the Afternoon Sun

Betty gets her shot at the chopped straw. I think she is very dramatic in the Afternoon sun.

She is a very striking looking lady, but she doesn't carry herself like Phyllis does when she scratches in the straw. Which is interesting because I saw some other ways she moved that were more Phyllis-like than say, Hattie-like on one of your earlier videos.
