Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Morning!
I have some fresh wattles for this Wednesday!

Shep is suddenly very red!

And Kasumi is reddening up too! They were all over the kid this morning to get snacks (and pets)

This is my favorite, Liara was listening so intently to what kiddo was telling her.

I really need to get a photo editing software like Bob uses she looks tough but she is a sweetie pie.

I use GIMP for my photo editing software. It runs on Linux and Windows.
(It is a professional piece of software but completely free. )
Tax needed for your post above because I said so.
(And Empress Josephine was laying a egg at midnight).

Embarrassing photo of Josey with practically no tail. She did not want it posted.

Caught Mera in a nest box this morning. She deposited a lovely bronze egg. I discovered they'd been busy this morning. Looks like Shan has joined the ranks of grown ups. Hers is pink

I am glad Liara and kiddo had a nice chat. I find my Princesses to be quite interesting conversationalists when they aren’t actually yelling at me.

I'm happy that your pullet is now a hen! Congratulations!

She's still a pullet until her first hatchday. Just as Tuff is a cockerel until that same time. (He'll be a hormonal idiot for several months beyond that, though.)

Question is, after all the eggs are done and they stop laying any more, what do we call them now?
(and don’t say dinner! )

Many people call them "old hens".
