Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[lightm]

Happy Monday. I am also glad @Ponypoor made it home and I hope your virus bug goes away soon. I hope @RoyalChick is almost recovered, if not completely. And a speedy surgery recovery to @RebeccaBoyd , good rest and chicken cuddles. Hope @GregnLety made it to work OK and is enjoying his work trip. Wish @ValarieF less pain and feeling more energetic soon.

Got some cold mugs. Its so cold but they love their warm mash with corn

It is 22 out this morning and the water hose is froze. I was opening the back door for dad to go out with a bucket of water when I heard then saw it. What did I hear? The angry ticking time bomb broody cluck. Coming from a very poofed out fuzzball named Chiquita as she ran by the back door. She is not playing fair. I am not able to deal with her and her foolishness right now and I think she knows it. I'm really going to have to enlist the help of Rosie and Mom to watch her and help break her up if she sits. Crazy chicken.....it is freezing and you have chicks in mind.

He’s doing okay. Still sneezing but he’s hanging on.

Maybe he has allergies..? I have two horses like that. They are like humans, they can get all the trouble we can!

It's chilly here now, in the 20s. Later this week, we'll get colder and another round of snow. So far, everyone is fine (people, dog, and most importantly, chickens). The chickens got warm mash made with whey yesterday.

The mash about 1/3 the volume of their regular food allotment, and becomes even more when it's wetted down. They really like it, because they eat it all in about 2 hours. (Don't tell them mash is how I use up the fine bits out of the bottom of the feed bowls that they won't eat.)

It sucks being the only one up in the middle of the night. I wish my chicks were awake. I can hear every little creek in the house and it freaks me out.
Glad Pony is home for the holidays and I hope Rebecca is feeling better and her blood sugar levels out. I know what that's like and mine are gonna go back up in a few days from the steroid shots.
Lets check out the chicks from the past:

The babies when they were fluffy. Mysty is the darker one and Cia in the lighter one.

Babies! So sweet

I really enjoy being the only one up at midnight normally. And in the summer I have been known to wander around the paddock to check horses and enjoy the fire flies and beautiful sky!

Today is going to be this kind of dayView attachment 3353353When i fed the fire an hour ago, it was -12F (0F = -17C). @Ponypoor your cold temps are reaching us.

More snow in the forecast (we need it), but these temps rival commercial ice cream freezers..... without the ice cream.

Awwww everyone is looking so good!

Yes it seems the western half of the continent is getting cold temperatures while here in the east it’s mild. It was like
This last year here, but in January it flipped so that here it was extremely cold.

Later on I am going to let the kiddos outside maybe on mount poopmore. I notice that the grey gals are molting and Sophia is getting over her molt. Fluffy has regrown all her fluffy feathers back and she is really fluffy

If you feel up to it you might want to give the barn a good once over. Look for any hidden eggs.

These Silkies! They are cracked! Their electrical panel has fallen off the wall and the wires exposed! Their feathers are short circuiting their reasoning and thought patterns!

Hahahahaha

My kiddies better not try that - my mum will just ignore them!
