Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Oh such a beauty

Rule 2
Always smile - no matter what. It makes people off guard and not so prone to feel threatened (even if do want to clobber them).

If you are a chicken, never smile and show your teeth!!

Death is coming to Jaffar too. I said he wasn’t well last year, and then he’s okay, and then there comes another bad day, or more. Today is one of his bad days.
His voice sounds like a cement mixer full of rocks today.

I'm getting close to ordering chicks by mail. I've never done this before.

Sooo... if you were choosing among hatcheries... who would you order from? I really want Bielefelders, so that is the first criteria. If you have ordered from any of these places, what was your experience, and would you order from them again?

Thank you.... getting chick fever here, can you tell?

My in-laws have beilefelders from McMurray.

One of the girls is past his shoulder on the other roost. They're almost 2.

I brought him inside, and he’s eating some buttered noodles and softened chick feed. (Foods easier for him to eat because of his throat condition)
He’s such a good little man. I’m giving him some love and rest

All of you are so lucky to have one another - he is such a lovely moggy - such a character

I feel blessed having these two little devil's

Do you add ginger too his feed? That may help clear his airways

I'm so sorry Alex

Please friends, no chicken and noodle jokes.

I'm so happy Parmesan is growing her feather back. They'll get dirty again but enjoy the cleanliness while I'm at it. Mozzarella is still in desperate need to grow a tail and have clean feathers like Parmesan.

This is the perfect lock screen background for your phone, tablet or laptop, is it not? Okay, maybe not laptop but the other two options work well.

These three pictures show that Parmesan wants to tell you your future is bright. I love the nice sunset and lucky enough to get a photo of that white cloud streak up in the sky. Parmesan is not heavy, weighing about 2-3 lbs (or 0.90-1.36 kg if you live by other measurements outside of the U.S.) but I could barely hold her up any longer so this is the highest she could go. Holding your phone with one hand and holding a chicken with the other is extremely difficult. Don't even ask me to try this with Grandma. She weighs 5 lbs (2.2 kg)! Tony is very fidgety (that's why I say IN A MINUTE!) so don't ask me to do this with her as well.
I am confused though. Why is Tony always acting so frightened? Is it because she's traumatized by her other identical twin sister, Security Guard dying? Okay, well she died like 4 years ago. No one can move on with death but it drives me nuts. Grandma is nowhere near affected by Security Guard's death. I tried to find a photo of Security Guard but my tablet stopped working years ago and Google Photos has no record of photos with her in them. I'll keep looking though. Our family has changed devices since then.

I agree holding a chicken in one hand and the phone in the other is hard! So, well done!!!

Great photos! Love that first one !
