Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Aurora came to us as a 6 week old. The toe was broken and healed that way prior to her arrival here. She also has an extra toe.

Oh yes I see that now! Well she must be half Silkie then in that case

 

[Ponypoor]

Um, 3 will, also - 6 is even. And the Math Majors can vouch for that!

Even Steven Tax:

Sorry, between long hours this week and gloomy rain/snow/sleet, no new pics - so from the archives I have:

And, last butt not least, my egg thief!!! Funny she tries to steal the collected eggs up there - but she has never gone broody

Who? Me?

Hmmm well now, if she had 10, then she would be half way to 20! More the merrier everyone seems to be telling me!

Yes funny how they try to protect the eggs - it is the way of the chicken

Aurora's Tail Feathers

Looks to me like they are fully grown.

Less grey but fully grown. What does everyone else think?

Hmmm - well she sure is fluffy, and puffy hahaha. I would say she is in her prime

No squatting but they are still nervous around me and are always on the move because of Bernie.
I don’t think they see me as a protective rooster. And without Diana they have no role model treating me as a friend.
Bernie understands I bring food, and Eli seems curious about what I am.

You have a lot of taming to do.

Mrs BY Bob says she is the prettiest of our chickens.

Her colouring is very unique, and very pleasing to the colour palette.

Windy

The wind is gusting aaround 20 mph / 32 kph today and the metal roof is still on the coop. So far so good

I think it will be fine
You did an awesome job! If that steel roof on my barn with its exposed 60' long expanse can stay in place so can yours! And you likely used more screws than my dad and neighbour did haha!

 

[Ponypoor]

Both of you are so tame!!!

I used to answer saying:

Joe's Mortuary
You stab 'em, we slab 'em.

This is my 'little miss friend.' She is always great company for a house bound chicken - no matter the girl! She is past due for freezer camp, but she won't go - I'll keep her as long as she stays on this Earth.

The heart is for your Little Missie - I love her comb!

I once kept a telemarketer on the phone for about 30 min - I regaled him with tales from the North how I had to use a dog sled to get to work, and a plane to get into town, and that it was -53C at that time, then when I had enough I told him - well buddy that moose hanging in the tree outdoors isn't going to cut itself up and jump in the freezer - gotta run - nice chatting ....

And I hung up haha. It was a miserable winter day and I was bored...

So wonderful. I love the way they work together sometimes. They really do have friends.

They really are a very tight knit group having all grown up together. They squabble but they also seem to have each others backs when it matters most.

I reconnected with some old friends on my game one has a farm and chicken, He wants to Incubate Ancona eggs so when I get some fertilized ones in a couple of months he is buying a dozen.
