Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Popcorn today, chomping corn and walnuts

Peanut also gladly ate corn, I let her eat a lot, and she had a few walnut bits. Saw her on two separate times eat a few pellets too, plus she ate a few out of my hand, so I think she's getting at least some food into her. She really wants lots of water. Saw her poop a soft but not runny poop today. She's doing okay I believe.

Spoiler: Peanut's pins and nakedness

Oh look - we could have solved the egg color mystery before she laid - look at her ear lobe!

What - a yellow lobe means blue eggs, why?

For my friend RC. These still aren't capturing her real essence. She is stunning right now.

Thank you!
Feel free to keep trying until you are satisfied you have fully captured her splendor

No. She has a green/blue lobe. That is supposed to indicate blue eggs.

OMG soooooo adorable and lovely

Thanks for sharing!

Thank! I think so, too. That is actually more stern looking face for her. It’s usually a little softer and sweeter.

Such a beauty and wattles!

She is getting closer to me, but still has 1,500 kilometres to go!

I did a double take when I saw the highway sign that said NWT border 450km hahaha then Hay River 500km about…. Hahahaha

One day in the spring I will drive up to the border just to cross it to say I have been to the NWT

Your ladies are looking lovely as ever are you getting this mild weather also?

I meant easier for them to die at least. They can kick the bucket from the dumbest things- from mold to trying to climb the glass and rupturing their abdomen.

Poor things! Oh no! That’s so horrible!

Anyway, more tarantula tax.

That photo needs a caption

Something like “spiders, they taste good, what do you mean I can’t eat spiders?!”

FYI there are no spiders or bugs within 2’ of the floor on the barn! The chooks eat them like candy!
