Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sally PB]

Sort of like, what weighs more, 100 lbs of feathers or 100 lbs of bricks!

Then when someone says, Duh, they're both the same weight, you ask, Well, which one should I dump on your head?

Of course, you could suffocate in 100 lbs of feathers...

Lots of snow here. Heavy packing snow at first, now fluffier. I don't know the inches but it's up to and over my knees and takes a few shovels to get to ground.

Worked like a dog yesterday taking down the poultry net fences & wrapping up the wire, clearing my collection of various shaped landscape stones so DH can snowblow and I can find them this winter, and bringing in the last aviary nets. I will say these Buckeyes are NOT adventurous happy campers in the cold! I left up the aviary netting as long as I could, because it offered them lots more roaming possibilities. There was no snow! But they are the wimpiest Buckeyes. They have not lived up to their reputation!

Sorry, ladies.

Maybe because Peanut was molting so hard, and was so cold, she never wanted to lead them out there?

Maybe their covered run is Paradise?

With the aviary netting down I secured the (under) roof tarps on that side, and consolidated the greenhouse frames.

Here's before I went out to shovel some and clear off their coop. The green tarp there while keeping the driving snow out for now is blocking some ventilation. So I have a new plan to hang one from the door top at the wall angled out to the edge of the overhang. It's the exposed western side. The eastern side has no problem and is working great.

Peanut Long-Neck. She needs her outer contour feathers to grow in more, and underfluff too. She still looks 50% as big as the others.

And her great silhouette. Butters is also sporting the popular mussed-look. The lower black tail feather looks like a dart stuck there!

Uh oh, the photographer has overstayed her welcome. Or maybe Butters is ready for her close-up now!! Beautiful Butters. Nice Punk hairstyle, there! She says No, not Punk, it's called The Molt. Very fashionable!

Hey, I don’t need this abuse. If I wanted to be teased and harassed, I would go to my next door neighbor!

Hey, Bertha, doesn't the grass INside the fence look better?
Why, yes, Gertrude, I think it does. Why don't we charge the pen as soon as mum lets them out!

Great idea, Bertha!

Why, when they 'escape' from their own pen to free range, do they have to charge into a SMALL pen for the littles when I open the gate so the littles can free range???? Ahhhhh, yes, grass flavored with littles poop...delicious!
