Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Anyone know why Willow hasn’t dumped her chicks? They are around 11 weeks old. I’ve been waiting for the chaos to happen.

Storm is still hanging on to hers (or at least not driving them away). They're leaving her instead. 17 weeks. It all depends upon the hen.

It's Monday so it is time for some mugs.

First a leghorn for @BY Bob

Poppet looks like she stuck her beak in a light socket. Going by this picture though, I think she is no where being close to laying.

Spooky informed me this is the best she could or would do and to get over it.

A Rock for @featherhead007 and the other rock lovers.

Miss Owly for Aurora and all the beard lovers. She is pretty proud of it.

A day late for Pony Sunday but Dirt is not happy. He is so over his vacation and is ready for deer season to go out.

It is also not Caturday, but Keeper is gloating he has moved up in life. Rosie rearranged her bedroom and put in a litter box. He has traded pouncing chickens for a life of pouncing toes and eyelids while you sleep. He keeps it up and he may think his new name is menace.

Cardhu is stunning !
You should enter that picture on the Miss Beauty Pageant contest.

Done!

Taxes gone wild!

Tongue in cheek, but! -

I think, and maybe everyone disagrees with me, that if everyone is asked for statements of opinions and not facts, that everyone can chime in and no taxes are required, despite similar or redundant opinions. I say!

Nobody knows for sure what is going on with Sylvie The Soon-To-Be Naked Neck (might need a real-life Spoiler, @RoyalChick , just sayin’).

Just because several of us think it’s a post-broody molt and we give that opinion after the very first one posts, that doesn’t mean that we all owe tax!

I noticed @Pastel The Rooster mentioned taxes to me too, on their question of what we thought they ought to do about their big flock vs. tiny funds. Isn’t that a question of opinion? This needs another emoji or two

I need to get more pics and will do. In order to pay these gratuitous, chicken-loving, no-reason-just-because so-called “taxes”! OK will step off soapbox now

Now CB, you need to pay whining and complaining tax!

To cheer you up here are all my chooks… Happy Mugs Monday!

Ugh, pictures, always. Never a break. At least you’re focused on the queen of the flock, and no one else. -Splotch

(First day I got her… her feathers are grown back and shiny now) ignore my head, I was being bullied… it’s pretty now. In total, I’m pretty. And I bully Willow’s chicks, but BBQ still doesn’t like me.-Eli (Ellie)

Hi! Sorry for pecking your nose. I was just curious. I’m staring to make hen noises, and it’s so weird! Mom keeps telling me to shut up, but I just growl even louder!- Crystal

H-hi! I’m pretty shy and nervous, but I’m actually pretty sweet. I am not very cuddly, and I like to stick close to my momma. BBQ and Eli bully me, so I was sticking close to my Auntie Bolt. She’s nice.- Opal

HI! I LOVE ATTENTION AND CUDDLES AND PETS AND EVERYTHING! (I’m typing this way on purpose, as I feel like it fits her personality) I LOVE MY HUMAN MOM. I FEEL LIKE SHE NEEDS ALL THE HUGS IN THE WORLD!-Ruby
View attachment 3687787Hi. I’m a big rooster. My human mom doesn’t have any pictures of my face because she’s just that boring.I’m the one closest to the camera. She has pictures of me when I was a little tiny chick, but no recent mug shots. - Gumbo

My mom got a job at a farm, and they had turkeys there. They were processed off Wednesday, but I got a few pictures the Friday before.

I got a mug of Gumbo!

Taxes or not, we’re here for the chicken pics!
(Start the music!)

“And everything!”

I’m deep in the preschooler/infant trenches, so I could think of a bunch of features that would make this mug more childproof

Fasten it to the wall on a chain!

Young and foolish, you mean. That thing crows at 9PM. The neighbors behind us stick their heads out to hear the ruckus.
Usually I push him off the perch then give him a talking to.

"Young and foolish, you say?!! Crowing at 9PM is the best thing!!!"
