Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

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.

Yes! Mine love to talk and they get so excited when kiddo comes out. They even let her pet them! She was telling Liara that she's a pretty chicky bird.

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! )

My friend calls them old biddies! She keeps them around to teach the younger ones how to be a good chicken.

I’m hopeful that this next statement is completely false: my girls have stopped laying completely. Because of molt season and winter coming on I guess. Eggs are needed more around the holidays than the rest of the year. Bad timing for shutting down production!

I miss getting eggs. Bolt hasn’t laid since the beginning of August, she laid for two weeks. She stopped laying, I went out one day, and there was an egg, and when I got the chicks all eggs were gone…
I’m not sure if Eli is laying. Her comb is red but I’m not sure… BBQ and Splotch are both laying, and Willow isn’t. And of course the babies aren’t.

Ole Bat, why change her name now.

I call them “mamma hen”

Again, Ole Bat. It is the nicest nickname she has. I can call her that around young children.

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.

It’s good to get them interested early. Soon she will be big enough to help with chorse

How old are your chooks now?

I only call cranky old ladies “Ole Bat” but I only say it to myself.

I don’t know why Sir jaffar gets nervous around thanksgiving. He’s not a turkey. And he’s more like a feathered soccer ️ ball . I don’t eat chicken or soccer balls, so why is he so neurotic?

A few weeks ago the babies and Willow were dustbathing in the coop. They’ve gotten even bigger since then

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.

Awwww poor Empress Josie she will soon be resplendent once again soon

Tax as requested by the big Roo.
When will Sue start laying? Who knows?!
