Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

That would be a fortunate set up if they have separated as you think. I hope it is so and consistent now.

A good chunk of that is moulting: Silver, Pear, Jessica, Thing all are staying close to the coop (easy to avoid the idiots and the wind). Storm still has the Idiots intimidated as does Twirp, so both go where they like. Cheetah ventures forth, so Blanche, Cuckoo, and Nellie all stick with him. PITA bounces between sticking with Cheetah and hiding in the coop. The younger girls....aren't moulting, are laying or almost, so are still finding their way. The Idiots get dragged all over on escort and respond to any lady protesting attentions from anyone else. Hector has gotten pretty good at chasing the younger boys, but they get their chances when Cheetah goes for Hector. The Sussex and Brahma girls stay pretty close to Hector, while getting mauled when Cheetah chases him.

Once they're all done moulting, we'll see which ladies go where. (Whiskey has a girl or 2 try to stay near him). Not sure at this point which is the bigger game changer: moult, or winter.

My corn and cabbage basket seems to be appreciated by the Princesses.

Before I get called out, I know I owe some soup and germ tax.
I'll just leave these right here.

It's nice the weather is cooperating. Aurora is in bad shape right now and it is hanging on in the 70s all day. I'm very grateful and I'm certain she is as well.

Poor gal thank you Mother Nature for the beautiful weather.

He understands the French accent means that rooster is not near him. No need to respond.

Or he doesn’t understand French

I need to remind him this is a bilingual country

 

[Ponypoor]

Me too. I'd love an outside Thanksgiving

Oh that would be so lovely for you

The clocks go back this weekend (don’t they?) it will be a shake up with chores here…

Dinner is done and I'm not cooking for the next 2 or 3 days.

Looks wonderful.

Diana seems to be showing off to Bernadette.
This is a leap the Roadrunners made easily and surprisingly Bernadette can too. But I have never seen Diana attempt it. And when she is molting too.
I almost can’t bear to watch.

That was very well done!

I am really upset with work today. I am so upset that I can't concentrate on the millions of things (all work related) that I need to do. So I decided to post some chicken pictures.

You should be upset at work more often because we get great photos!
