Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

@BY Bob I noticed the same thing, Betty’s toes were away, and she’s on the perpendicular roost. But Phyllis didn’t go after her at least! Since Betty’s directly facing the warming panel, maybe as a frizzle she really needed a little warming.

I turned off the heating panel yesterday. I hope she wasn't looking for warmth.

I keep getting confused about the day of the week. I think it is Thirsty Thursday.

Here is Babs. She gave this vintage a score of 90/100.

Thirsty Thursday

No takes for the wild water, but they did brave the rain

Ready for the day!

I must get cracking, stalls first, then tackle the Hen House.

Need to drive my chosen eggs to my friends place this afternoon, for their daughters to place in the bator this weekend that should have them hatching the same days I get my other chicks. Very very eggcited to join the likes of Valarie, Rebecca, Chicken Poppy, and everyone else who has or is getting chicks

Need to make bread, but I will do that tomorrow, just checked the barn cam and the chooks are out and about (or as we say here in Canada ooot n aboot )

Well I had to give up on the hen house as I got dancing (I used to do all sorts and belly dancing is fun) anywhooo needless to say I am desperately out of shape and threw my back - my shimmy was more a sideways slip of the back discs….

The chickens were looking at me like I was totally gone off the deep end

But so much fun… Come on Buttercup shake your bootie !!

in the Hen House I leveled up the nestboxes at the back, need to put some new curtains up for the gals.

At the end where the doors is I decided to keep the old nestbox unit as the silkies like to use them and its only a couple inches higher them the new roosts will be, for now I placed a plank from one end to the other for the night to roost on.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get it all done, I will leave the music off so as not to get all motivated to get ‘Footloose’ (great song ).

Edit: FYI it’s darn tootin hard to belly dance in rubber boots

No more? Just 5? Oh they are so cute

Oh my gosh I am in love. It looks like 2 blue/greys, 1 black, 1 white and the one with the black spot on it's head may be a paint. I would take a better picture of it and post it on the "Silkies-they are simply spectacular" thread and ask. There are several members there who have or breed paint silkies.

Oh I know aren’t they just adorable


Makes me wish I had a silkie Roo for my silkie gals

I shouldn't laugh because you are in pain, and I really hope you stop aching soon, but I can so totally imagine you trying to get the chickens to dance with you!

Bad news. Next door rooster came loose in my yard and fought Jaffar. My rooster lost that fight. I’m doing my best to save him.

He’s very tired and his comb is bleeding. He’s laying on me right now and I fixed the bleeding. God i hope the little guy makes it.
