Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

My DeWalt reciprocal saw (I call him The Beast), and my pickup and horse trailer and we move it were ever you want

Possibly. When it was just a redwood playhouse, we paid someone to move it. But now the bottom is lined with plywood, the top has wooden siding, and it has a real roof. And I’m not sure if the new landlord would go for the monstrosity that it is.

New paint?

Pear is in the same boat. She's going to bed early (but that's nothing new with her) and has a ton of tiny feathers sprouting down her wings, over her back, and along her sides under her wings. Silver dropped a couple of feathers while preening last night. She's still got some ratty looking ones along her bum, but seems more like she's doing a continuous slow molt (since last July)...honestly I don't think she's ever fully moulted before (she's almost 3).... if that's what she is doing, I think it's healthier than Pear's. Molt-wise, Silver hasn't broken stride: no behavior changes (other than staying out of the wind more), and no personality changes either...

I really prefer the slow continuous molt. Only my Daisy, the greatest hen ever, did slow molts.

I haven’t seen any this year which is unusual.
Instead I am seeing lots of geese They stay in the air but there are many every day. Seems late to me.

Are they heading north?

I thought it was another coop

Nope. It houses the pump and filter for the pool and keeps the electrical outlets from being buried in snow.

Went out to get some mugshots and the camera died so these will have to do until it charges back up.

Cheeky Chiquita, the v you sorta see on her chest, there is about a inch or so bare spot of plucked out feathers. Another girl on the "your thinking about it aren't you" list.

My little Poppy girl. 8 months old yesterday and still pretending every day she is going to lay that first egg but nothing.

And one of the cochin ladies.

It may be isolated to around here. There was no ‘big storm coming’ warning so this morning’s alert took me by surprise.
It has just turned to snow leaving a dusting on the ice.
You probably know, but you are missing a screw in the handle. Make sure nobody eats it!
