Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

@RoyalChick , I've been thinking about your Bernadette and watching my pullets (about 3.5 mos old). I think that it is two fold, her apparent legginess. Yes, she is a tall/leggy girl, but also, being an adolescent, her 'bloomers' haven't fluffed out yet, so she looks even leggier.

My Welsummer chicks and a Welsummer hen to illustrate my point:

Pullet: Notice, very little 'fluff' around drumstick part of leg. Makes legs look longer/leaner

Welsummer hen: Notice body feathering hangs lower and 'fluff' on drumsticks is fuller. Makes her seem shorter/less leggy. However, both of these girls are the exact same height. The pullet, of course, weighs less as she hasn't filled out as much yet, but the 'base framing' so to speak, is the same!

So, I suspect that though Bernadette is a leeegggyy girl, she won't look quite so leggy as she matures and 'fluffs out'! Meanwhile, enjoy her athletic soccer legginess and antics

P.S. Hoping Bella is hanging in there and still being a fighter!

Very interesting. For Friday’s fluffy butt this week I have a candid shot of Lulu’s fluffy butt and Bernadette’s legs.
I put the camera in a strange place because a mouse has breached my defenses and I need to figure how it got in. I forgot to switch it off during the day and got this cute little picture.

I've been playing the homeless cat game since it became too hot to bear. So my mam kidnapped me and kept me in but managed too escape twice. and almost drove her nuts

I've been ever so itchy it's been driving me crazy and tonight I was made too have a good wash. I fought at first but started to enjoy a good rub in the end. It's nice being all wrapped up in a towel and purring with delight But It's time to settle with my pet dog now or he'll get jealous .

It's really good we have each other to share. I sort of had too step away for a while losing her was just unbearable.

Flexi caring for Agatha just before Agatha left us. I couldn't catch her with her wing around Agatha just a second before I took this picture. Both those girls meant so much too me princess and Tina. Now both of them have left us all to soon
