Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sally PB]

Button, 16 weeks. She's pinking up! Might she be 4-5 weeks from laying?

Sunny says, It's too hot, momma!"

No shipping. And they'd be crosses, likely with Australorp, so black split to mottled, or possibly Whiskey, who's a mix already.

I know the "no shipping" part . I love all chickens so cross or not doesn't matter too much to me. Maybe the Alex Express could ship them here (provided he flies down there and makes a pit stop here).

Monday Mugs! Our weather has turned and we had ice in the waterer for the first time this weekend.

I hope all will be well.

Emergency just happened at my place:
I went out to the porch, where all eight of my birds were hanging out. I said I would get them some meally worms. But I had forgotten where I put the bag.
I retraced my steps and found the bag in the back yard (right where I left it) then I returned to the waiting chooks and fed them.
(I surely didn’t want to be attacked by eight angry chickens wanting their treats!)

I'm happy that you found the meally worm bag!

I'm happy that you found the meally worm bag!

Not as happy as his chooks were, I bet!

Lovely video! I am really smitten with your Dominique roo - such a handsome boy!

Is your teenage roo a Buff Orpington? Or another buff breed? He looks like he is in the hormonal teen/idiot stage/age - I hope your Dominique puts him in his place when he needs it, so he learns to be a good roo. He is going to be a looker, too!

Yes, Stormfeather is a Buff Orpington, and a very active one too! The thing is already chasing the pullets around! I really do hope Ijak puts him in his place. He seems to like enthusiastically annoying other chooks, even though I really don't think he will grow up into an annoying roo. Just this morning, he pecked Buffy's comb just to see what would happen. Buffy recoiled, then gave him a sharp nip on his back, and the featherball took off!

I am happy that you like my video, thank you!

Just checking in to see what’s what.

Also in news my side of things, mum found Tuff passed away this morning, we knew it was going to happen, she was old for a production breed at 5. My BIL came down and buried her in the paddock by the fence we’re she enjoyed hunting for bugs and such.

Other than that everyone is good, horses too. Mum is managing fine but tells me that horses are way easier to take care of then chickens. I did remind her that they were like 2 yr old kids.

Work is busy, lots of driving between sites; today I found an awesome farmers market which will be my new grocery shopping place, it’s close to my Air BnB.

Ok everyone have a wonderful evening, miss chatting with you all

Oh no! I’m am so sorry. Poor Tuff. She lived a wonderful life I’m sure.
