Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Bernie and Diana are both looking good. And nobody died while I was away!
One cat gave me a scare by failing to show up but he emerged from Lord knows where and insisted on many snuggles.

I'm glad happiness awaited you at home.

Distressed night late last night. Leftover pizza from the fridge. Left out on the table (maybe 10 minutes) went to eat the delicious stuff, and bit into a pile of black ants . No I didn’t swallow it, but it was gross thinking that it would be safe (it wasn’t)
OMG gross tax

That is awful. So sorry.

Maggie is warming herself in the sun. Temperatures are dipping into the 30s at night this weekend. I don’t know if that is too cold for her to cope given she is half naked.
All you cold-climate people any advice? It will be 38 on Sunday pre-dawn. Probably a few degrees warmer inside their roosting area.

She will be fine. Sydney is having a rough molt too. I'm planning to leave her outside.

Did I ever tell you how Chiquita got her name? The first night I brought her home mom was offering her treats of dried fruit mix. She ignored everything but the banana chips which she devoured. Banana's are still her favorite treat and since she was a yellow silkie who loves banana's she named her Chiquita.

That's great!

Speaking of Chiquita I have to show you all something. I have had her for 10 months now, and when she first arrived she looked rough.
This was her the first night.

Look at her now, she looks like a completely different hen. She has gained weight and her feathers and color is just gorgeous. These were taken just a few minutes ago. My angry floof really is living her best life.

Yeah, that’s what it means here. So I was surprised to see ‘funny ugly’, maybe it’s niche location-specific?

More for sanitizing to PG.

I know it so cute it’s hilarious, they are kindred spirits - last night she was showing him where the food was - night before he was getting her treats

I might let her sit some eggs next spring - bet they will be awesome parents.

Oh yes!! Let her sit!!!
