Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[notabitail]

If you ever go to New York go to the Arts Museum and wear that shirt and ponder Van Gogh’s painting starry night

Or we could have Starry Hen by @RoyalChick's Van Pooh.

My pullets squawk up a storm prior to laying an egg

Mine don't but we still get storms here.

It is hard to tell. I think Sylvie has a couple of times. They sometimes hide from Bernie by running into the nest boxes (which is a bad strategy as she is perfectly capable of pulling them out of there).

Yep that’s a bad hidy-hole! Raven doesn’t lay an of her eggs on the nest boxes the brat, but she goes and hauls the others off the boxes! What a brat!

Today she laid her egg in the Summer House behind the crate I had the babies in. It’s an egg hunt here now!

I went out to get some pictures of the speckled suspects as alex calls them. They did not make it easy as they wanted to hide in the tall grass and weeds next door. Smart on their part as they no longer have their mother watching over them. Difficult for me as I need body shots of them.

9 weeks old now. Those speckled suspects had better be pullets.

Pick her up and cuddle her.

She doesn’t seem to be into that.

I'm gonna try to dig up nine week old Abigail photos for you. Give me some minutes.

That's because you won't let them party.

I saw this picture on a different site. It is an igloo jug filled with water (you can certainly put a gallon jug frozen water in there too) with a dripping system going to this sand tub. Looks great for cooling and playing. Annnd no electricity required.

I LOVE IT!!! Thank you!

@RebeccaBoyd Here are some Abigail photos. She was around 9 to 11 weeks in these.
And all the others but her look like they have cheese legs.
The top two with Gaby are from around 9 weeks. I don't really have head shots as they loved showing off their butts for some reason.
