Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

She really is lovely, and I love those slate coloured legs of hers. I think a couple Austrolorps would be a wonderful fit with her!

Green - her legs are definitely green.
What do you think of a black Ameraucana for my flock?

Exactly, I do too! Hence my idea which wouldn’t change a thing at all. Its just a single post once a week that gives a synopsis of the weeks goings on, nothing more.

If you are going to do this, might I make one little suggestion? Have a consistent title so that someone trying to use that to 'catch up' can easily search for it. Something like 'Weekly Synopsis'. Does that make sense to you all?

Good idea.
We could also post a link to a 'subscribers' private message so those who just want to look at the synopsis will get alerted that it got posted.

Alarming poop - any thoughts?
Eli produced this just now. Overnight poop was normal and she is running around eating and digging as normal.
It is sort of off-white and gelatinous. Only one and a half episodes - earlier she produced a healthy poop with more of this stuff on top.

Spoiler: Icky poop picture

I’m going with a sloughing-off, because part of it looks membranous. Did it smell bad?
Hope she’s okay. No way I can “read ahead” I’m 40 pages behind. I’ll try to search…

Oh sorry! They looked slate in that photo - but I do seem to recall now that you mentioned them as being green 'snakeskin' legs - love them no matter!

Oh I would think a black Ameraucana would be a wonderful addition - do you have a photo? do you know what colour eggs ?

Very egg-cited! Are you serious?!

Hope so. I am again 100% sure she is eating. She just grabbed a shrimp from Bernie’s beak and swallowed it whole before Bernie could grab it back.
I know all chickens are motivated by food, but Eli is in a class of her own. She has perfected a strategy where she barges at great speed into the middle of the food and grabs the biggest item and runs off with it.
I tried to get video of it but she is too fast for me.

They are so good at acting quickly I miss a lot of things. Just today I wish I had been filming them.

We had some leftover sushi so I gave it to the ladies. Lady Featherington barged right in, stabbed with her beak, and took the whole center out of a piece of a spicy tuna roll. She turned to run with it and it started to slip out of her beak. Rather than keep running, she stopped and started to swallow it. I have no idea how, but she worked it around until she swallowed it all without dropping any of it. It was truly impressive.

This is what happened. My side gate was open for the meter reader to check the box. I couldn’t find Hen-Rietta, Dakota or coco, after he left. I found Dakota hiding behind the feed box in the coop. I found Coco across the yard in the willow tree. Frantically trying to find Hen-Rietta, I panicky went to Jaffar and asked him to find her. He went to the woodpile and started crowing. She came out from under the pile as if to say “what’s up?”!!
Now that’s an incredible rooster! He saved me from a heart attack today for sure!
(Jaffar.. SUPER HERO!)

Good boy. I hope he got some steak as a reward.

No idea how to do that but I am willing to learn
