Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Today the chicky birds got to have some stale popcorn

Kiddo was having a ton of fun tossing it to them.

So as soon as I let the chooks out of the coop, Sheenfeather went straight for my shoelaces and wouldn't let up. I told her that my shoelaces were not food, but she still went at them. I then noticed that there was paint on them from painting yesterday. Moral of the story? Never have paint on you shoes. (Trust me, soon I had chickens flocking all around my feet, and they were pecking ANKLES too.)

Tax:

This here pullet is Sheenfeather.

Rare image of Breezefeather standing still; she is always inspecting things.

Hens on the roost; Cluckie looks ready to go, Onaga, not so much.

Ijak and a rare all-black feather on his wing.

And Ijak in mid-crow.

Good morning everyone. We made it home at 5:30 this morning. Last night was amazing. I loved every minute of it. More importantly to me, Rosie and mom also loved every second. Rosie shocked me, she is so self conscious I did not expect her to sing along. She let loose and sang every song. I will not be hearing a 1000 mom's today, she lost her voice.

Excellent! Concerts are always fun to attend.
I used to frequent a local dinner playhouse where I came from.
Dinner and a show in the same place!

Sometimes I even went to see plays at Ford’s Theater Washington DC.

My chooks can only free range in the yard supervised because we have a disproportionate amount of predator activity, for a small city yard , so I get them out like twice a week.

Fez, despite being happy that today was one of those days, still prefers meal worms to earth worms.

They ended up dodging a couple of Cooper’s hawk dive-bombs. Alas.

And I couldn’t figure out the best way to add a video? So here is a still photo of an interesting phenomena. My two pullets, bottom of the pecking order, kept harassing the dog! Trying to steal her “treat” (she was just chewing on a stick), chasing then posing tall near her, and pecking at her butt and legs. She’s getting hen pecked! And not following the proper pecking order rules of loser runs away- she just stands submissively taking it. Poor girl.

I made fresh bean and cheese burritos for lunch today, but Sir Jaffar just turned up his beak at my offering.
His throat is gurgling loudly today too.
