Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

OMGosh! Scary - she was wearing her melon cover, right? And Mandy too? Gosh kids (says the kid who did the same thing with her cousin!).

Yes helmets were worn. I've drilled it into her head, and I am serious about it. She gets caught riding without a helmet before 18, I WILL sell Russ.

@knoturavggrl's whole flock showed up to celebrate her achievement:

And in good news, Story has recovered:

@Ponypoor has been engaging in a lot of Chicken Math (and confusing at least some of us along the way!):

https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27245572
Leading to some very sophisticated enabling by @ChicoryBlue:

And big plans for next year:

Meanwhile in the here and now there are creepy crawlies to be treated and not everyone is happy about that:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27247084
And Red Hen is poorly - we are all joining Pony in hoping that draining her abdomen will give her some relief:

@RebeccaBoyd has been working with Poppet who seems inclined to become a cuddle chicken:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27248448
And it seems like she has a bit of a crush on Branch (who doesn't?!):

@Ribh returned to us with news of some of the fan favorites in her flock:

@RoyalChick is dealing with a broody Sylvie. She is only 6 months old and hasn't quite got the hang of the whole broody thing. Somehow for her it involves hanging out on the roof:

@rural mouse helped us with an annotated map of her flock:

I had some issues with my notifications in BYC so I hope I didn't miss anything important.
Have a wonderful week with your flocks everyone.

Thank you, RC!

Those are lucky chickens.

Yep!

Thank you for the synopsis, @ChicoryBlue. I was gone all day, so I've had to skip ahead. I hate to skip pages, but I'm hopelessly behind.

Me, as a Desert Valley Hooman, should not have seen that screenshot.

Don't thank me, Sally! The weekly synopsis was done by RC @RoyalChick
That's a great fluffy butt shot, unusual angle, and great lighting on Pip!
