Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Guys she did it, Gryffyn is a momma. The silkie egg has hatched and her other chick should be out by nightfall. If by bedtime the 2nd chick is hatched I am moving all 3 into the coop into a tote as well.

Sandhills out and calling again


View attachment 3478607Breakfasting birds...who inhaled and ran back inside.

View attachment 3478606Blanche, demonstrating her camouflage...
View attachment 3478608And heading to stage a raid on Castor's dish.

Foiled, girl, it's inside.

Castor, you can come back in when 1, you've done your business and 2, someone's home to let you back out for the next one.

View attachment 3478815The curious "what are you doing?"

View attachment 3478812The snoozing

View attachment 3478805Brought Thing out to the garden where I'd been working on digging it out so I can refill with the coop muck out. She went through the fence...twice. 3rd time I brought her out, I also brought some scratch. She needs to do some digging to file down her nails. Company joined me and her.View attachment 3478803View attachment 3478804View attachment 3478802View attachment 3478800Hector spent the most time in here of the roos.

View attachment 3478820Silver, Pear, and Jessica spent the most time in here. Silver even found a couple of worms. I left the gate open for them.

There was also a spot of excitement. View attachment 3478806Whiskey and Kren got into it...


View attachment 3478807And the divide and conquer happened with Horus teaming up with Kren. Whiskey retreated to rejoin Cheetah and ladies. No one was hurt.

Lovely. Glad spring is finally reaching you!

Don't worry. 90% chance of sleet tomorrow. Have to enjoy the warmth when we can.

The day after Mike went home his boss called and wanted him to go on a job. I told my sister I'd use every hour of sick time he has on the books. Personally I'd have cursed his boss up one side and down the other!

Idiot supervisor rant tax:

Doubled the size of the bare patch. Break time. Enjoying the sunshine. Then inside to start dinner. Now there are high clouds creeping in.

Thankfully no dents but wow. Glad no one was standing around the car when those fell.

My friend (and assistant) was in the office directly under the tree. That’s how I found out. He heard the crash and was startled. He came and told me what happened.
