Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Alright! Here i go.

Well, my current chickens i have are Emily, Rizo, Isbe, Dixie, Trixie, Peep, Jolene, Patty (probably, undecided), Abby and un-named chick (silver sebright chick) 100% open to name suggestions if you have any for the sebright.

(For the chicks, i did them all in one photo, same with Isbe. I can’t seperate them for photos or Isbe freaks out, and their kinda squirmy to take a nice photo.) View attachment 3181179

The Sebright in the very back (on her back) is un-named
The one next to the Sebright (Patty/nutmeg)
The one doing the dramatic pose in front of mama (Gabby)
The one to the left on the bottom (Jolene)
The one to the right on the bottom (Peep)

Emmy. Im posting a bunch of photos of her because i love her. As you probably can tell she is a tad invasive when it comes to personal space. View attachment 3181189View attachment 3181190View attachment 3181191View attachment 3181193

Is this usually a constant battle all summer?

It's not unusual to have several days in August to be above 100 but 108 is unusually hot. It's 106 now with an index of 113. Going to Lowe's to get some plastic cap nails for the shade cloth but we won't start work until 8 this evening.

Now, this I can do! Lol I was trying to think of how I could dig up some pictures from two phones ago… because many of my chooks are only on my last phone, and a few on the phone before that…

I'm sad 8 cannot add the pictures from my old phone like Tina and Agathas first day here and Amber flexi and Princess looking to meet them ❤

We had 86 f here today and that was bad enough

Yup

One of the farmers here drives 2awesome hummers -the real ones not the ones they make now I don’t want to know what they cost!!!

(Hope I didn’t have bad feelings there just those Toronto drivers!!!!!)

Here normally the bigger the truck the bigger the butthead but sports car drivers usually too. Very rude drivers in Houston. Most of my encounters are in the morning by people who should have left home earlier.

86 would be heavenly

86 would be heavenly

I couldn't live where you are

I looked up the price and enquiring if I can find a vet for flexi (which is doubtful) If I can it's going to cost over a thousand pounds

To celebrate Bob's 10,000th page, I took photos of my first four birds in the social order enjoying some time in their foraging area.

#1 Annie - a calm flock leader who doesn't get involved in the petty squabbles of the others.

#2 Rema, a tough lady who is a Boss, but not a Bully. She will break up fights between the others and lays a beautiful dark brown egg.

#3 Isabella is a gentle hen who I expected to lose to "failure to thrive" as a chick. She was tiny and while the others had long lustrous feathers, she was still down covered and less than half their size. She has always been spunky though and has filled in very nicely.

#4 Bistro lays very pretty blueish eggs and is best pals with Annie, the flock leader which gives her special privileges. She really does not like to be touched, but trusts me to respect her no touching rule.
