Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

they hatched on 1 July - this is them @ 1 week (5 of them; the chipmunk and the crested each have a different mum). Juvenile plumage is coming through but it's not obvious what the adult plumage will be as yet. View attachment 3183339

Oh my goodness

They are so cute and the mama is very beautiful. Wish I could get some chicks under my broodies but it's not practical for me, I have to live vicariously through others

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your stalwart friendship, wisdom and kindness @BY Bob

You're a wonderful friend!

Ooooh - you picked almost all my favorites. Missing for me is Ivy posing on/by your chair. An all time great!

Lovely photos! You have such a beautiful tribe.

So nice to see you again - hope your boys are doing well! Is this the year for the trip to Scandanavia???? I want to live vicariously through you

Yes! August/September...we are so excited!

I would have the AC cranked, the curtains pulled, and every single critter in my care in the house at that point. Stay safe.

Even Gus?

Well, Horus just started crowing: kind of a 2 tone er-rrr, up near Cheetah's, then dropping a bit. C-G is.

And it's become abundantly clear that Horus is Cheetah's son, probably with Nellie. He's got the build/size in spades!

Heavy rains overnight here, which will make the corn and mosquitoes happy hahaha.

I was up at 5am and couldn't believe someone was out in the bush behind my back paddock shooting! My horses are out there, and just what i don't need is my idiot Neighbours out poaching deer and Turkey and accidentally shooting my horses. It's barely light at 5am....

Checked the barn cams and the horses where just milling about outside the back of the barn, the chickies were ok still sleeping.

Guess I better get cracking do chores and get to work...

Can you shoot back at them?

I find moving a few hens first, then a rooster, and followed by the rest of the hens keeps my guys less defensive of such trespasses, but I would expect better from Jaffar!

Jaffar was having a difficult time last night. He was hot and bothered

I've posted hundreds of pictures on this thread from the tribes in Catalonia; some of the luckiest chickens in the world with regard to freedom and care.
Unfortunately the overwhelming majority of chickens don't live like that and don't look like the lovely chickens in the pictures on this thread.

So, rather than post yet another set of pictures of privileged heritage breeds bred for the backyard chicken enthusiast I thought some pictures of the boring abused Red Sex LInks that supply the majority of the eggs people buy in the UK might be appropriate.

Predator.

Safe.

Inquisitive.

Prisoners.

How hot is it there, Alex? Today it was around 90° in the shade, 95° in the sin, and over 100° in the sun down close the the ground.

Hot as a toad on a hot plate!
