Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

The one thing that my chooks are thankful for on Thanksgiving, is that they weren’t hatched as turkeys!

Hey GtC how have you been?

Tis the season for cold snowy weather.

Curly doesn’t like the cold or snow. And right now she and Marty are sharing a nestbox beimg broody. I am ok with this as Marty is practically bald.

I've been doing well. Although Thanksgiving dinner is not for another 5 hours, my dad insisted we eat the turkey now and we have yet to do the wishbone.
A very small amount of corn.

Two types of gravy.

Mashed potatoes.

Cranberry sauce with the cranberries still in them. The reason why there are two bowls is one batch is sweeter than the other, but later, I ended up mixing the two together. I wanted to get the cranberries out, but my mom insisted on keeping the cranberries in there. So, it's jam now. Or jelly.

We all know what this is...

Grandma is begging for some brown gravy and turkey.

Hah. Autocorrect is something. I said "It's kind of like jam or jelly" and autocorrect thought it would be a good idea to change it to Kelly. It's like jam or Kelly. No, this doesn't sound right.
I don't think she agrees either.

Don’t worry, Kelly finds a way into practically everything!

This bird.... wanted to roost in a mulberry bush!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Everyone looks very contented, I hope they are doing ok after the terror of the dogs

CAUTION @RoyalChick moult pics

They've settled down for the most part. I think Cardhu’s skittishness is a lingering result. I also think the eggs in the coop are a partial result (colder temps being the other). Twirp and Whiskey seem totally recovered (aside from growing feathers). Whiskey was courting Storm this morning and Twirp has been giving Tuff the EYE. He's figuratively tucking his tail and retreating. Good girl. I do think she's still feeling some aches, but can't tell if from the dog or from moulting.

Twirp looks decidedly rumpled and Nimbus looks HUGE next to her. I think Nimbus is going to have Hector's size (or be a throwback to great grandparent with the Marans build in Storm's background)

Lark is sprouting feathers everywhere, and losing more: the wing, NO I'M NOT TOUCHING IT!

Cumulo is just a tiny bit larger, so a noticeable difference with her sister. She's also got the larger fascinator crest from great grandparent, so interesting seeing just how different the 2 are developing.

Of the 3, I think Cardhu will lay first. She's sprouting wattles and pinking quickly. Whether she will lay before Havoc and Enigma or not, I have no idea. Will be watching for it.

At the end of the day, a cool evening.

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your clips. The ladies look so contented
