Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

OMG it’s Coco! She ran up to me as I was sitting on the porch stairs. Right up on my lap. Wow am I having an amazing chickeny day!

Awww! So nice

 

[RoyalChick]

Yes, that looks like it is exactly what she is doing!

It looks like they are foraging quite close!

Yes they are. Babs it seems has good foraging zeal. Bernie for all her size is a bit of a lazy digger and runs over to see what Babs found. Eli seems easily distracted and flits about.
I should say there was a lot of flying going on (including from Bernadette) but nobody flew over the fence.

This for the chicken

Rose she lays an olive egg

Size comparison: hamburg pullet build vs partridge Plymouth Rock. Also shows the close feather vs loose/fluffy feather.View attachment 3392814Thank you, Lark and Pear.

They look like they are enjoying themselves!

I took this video 3 days ago and just uploaded it. I need to get some new ones as they are growing. @Ponypoor Chiquita told me to tell you to let Marty see this. She will be broody in 2 days she claims.

Adorable! Its so cute watching mama and the chicks interact,

Not sure if that will keep them warm or not

I wasn’t named!

Ask Aurora.

Dear Aurora,
Let me introduce myself. I am the most beautiful, most angry, and most proud little rooster in the world.
My name is Théo and I live in France in the mountains.
Here is my problem. I have four hens who should honour and worship my beautiful self. Unfortunately, I happen to be half bantam. Can you believe that those french humans have the cheeks to call us bantams "dwarves", by the way ? Anyway, my hens are bigger than me and since I live on a very steep slope, I never manage to mount and mate them properly. Because I need to maintain some balance, I must grab their feathers as I would fall otherwise, and this displease them so much that they run away from their duty to my gorgeous self.
Would you have any advice on dealing with this shameful problem ? I trust your discretion not to mention this to any of your beak book friends.
Cocorico from your beautiful Théo.

Oh, Théo brace yourself if Aurora responds!

Awww! So nice

I flipped a coin best 2 of 3 and Coco won claws down! So for now she’s my shoulder ornament, but she’s going to stay inside for the night. ( she’s the other hen who gave me an egg today)

My Flash, will watch others dig around and when they find something, she will bully her way into the hole and eat the grub! Brat hen.
