Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ValarieF]

So this week has been kinda crazy my daughter’s birthday was Saturday and of course all the Christmas and school stuff that happens around the holiday. I have been falling behind on pictures! Well I am going to try and make up for it here we go!

Lots of mugs:
Sugar: is this close enough for your picture??

I love all the photos especially Oreo.

Roosters are really very beautiful aren’t they? So much iridescence and pride in their stance.

Happy Mugs Monday!

I thought I wanted a jail break...'til I saw that awful white stuff on the other side!

Huh, wimpy old man - it isn't that bad. (plus, it means I get away from you!)

Okay, I got this today since I couldn't find the other pic.

Heritage BR and Production BR.

Heritage BR is larger, fluffier feathers, longer head, smaller comb 'cleaner' barring....AND more likely to go broody.

I've had lots of Production BRs, only ever had one go broody. Nearly half of my heritage BRs have at least tried to brood. I know this isn't the case with others...but maybe it has to do with the hatchery line regarding broodiness?? Most hatcheries try to breed that out of them.......

That’s a nice vest and jacket, what colour did you get?

So glad you’re feeling better !

I got the vest in a color called night sangria (mahogany) and the jacket in an olive green color.

Sugar: is this close enough for your picture??

I really want to give Brownie and Sugar a hug. They are such a hoot. And yes, Sugar. That's close enough.

I have been trying to keep it quite that I'm having the surgery. My grandmother has made sure everyone and their cousin knows I have to have it. The downside to this is all my aunts have had it done and they have called. To ask why it needed done so young. Then I get their recounts of theirs. All but 2 horror stories. Yup, that is just what I needed thank you. I also got what to do and what not to do before and after surgery. I really hate to hear the phone ring right now.

I feel like we have nothing here but clouds, clouds, clouds. It's currently cloudy right now with temperatures at... The same as a few hours ago. 40 F.

I got too far behind again and missed that you need surgery. Big hugs to you.

Thank you for your kind words everyone. After I posted I decided to take a nap, I crashed. Woke up to find Russ out. Really knot-head, get back in your stall Houdini. I do not know how long he was out, but as always he let me walk up and put the halter and lead rope on. Turn around to lead him back in and we take about 2 steps when down he goes to roll. 5 minutes of a good roll and he is back in and tied up. I in a way do not mind the horror stories, they can go in one ear and out the other. What I do not appreciate is everyone grilling me on why I have to have one and why so young. I have not seen you in years keep your opinions that I am making a mistake to yourselves please. I also really really do not like grandma announcing to the world that I have to have it. I've even told her as much but she conveniently forgets that. She called a friend the other day to check on them and it started out how are you doing. Oh you broke your hip sorry to hear that, you know becky is having surgery. I just threw my hands up and walked away. Oh well, I still have a lot to do this evening chicken wise. I know deep down Rosie and everyone can take care of them, but they are my babies and I will worry more about them then anything. I have to be at the hospital at 8 in the morning. I'm taking my laptop but I probably will not be on tomorrow.

Also, I see people put in photos of certain things but how do you do that legally without permission? And can you do it for Google or somewhere else because they say it's not legal to use photos from Google.

A lot of times it depends on what you are using the picture for. It is definitely a no-no if you are going to profit from it or claim it is your own. But they usually don’t care if you are using it to direct people back to where the picture came from.

Thanks! They are both beautiful.
