Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Hello everyone.

It has been a week since I found time to get on and was over 100 pages behind. This week has been a doozy with Dad, Grandma, Rosie and Mom coming down with a nasty sinus infection and bronchitis a few days of each other. Everyone was tested for the respiratory panel and everything negative. If they had run fevers I would have swore I was dealing with the flu with all of them. They are starting to recover finally the last 2 days. Exhaustion finally won over with me and with mom able to function again and deal with grandma I was able to sleep 19 hours straight. Another 19 and I may feel human and not like a zombie but not going to push my luck. I have had a few breaks this week to spend some time with the chickens but no pictures. Serial stalker Dottie is no longer a serial stalker. She upgraded to serial pecker. If I wear my favorite comfy fleece leggings outside she pecks my ankle area. I really think she hates them but she is going to have to get over it. It is cold, they are comfy and right now all I care about is comfort and not fashion little girl. Since the first peck I have really focused in on time with her. Leggings or not I do believe she would have escalated to the pecking anyway. I have decided she is overtly in your business and wants attention. She pecks, I reach down and pick her up for a few minutes. She never backs away or tries to avoid being picked up. I pet her, she grumbles and growls but settles in. She stalks me, I can lean over and pet her without picking her up and she stays put, grumbling and growling. She also tries to peck the freckle on my wrist and any scratches or scabs on my hands. Constant pecking of hands thanks to the tiny menacing tornado Keeper. Dottie also has a few new nicknames. Pecky McPeckerson and Repeckahen.

It seems a true peck master!

And Kelly, … crawl home safely!

Not to worry - 2 is my limit, and ZERO tolerance for driving. No one on my family has any drinking and driving, both my nieces were the designated drivers tonight as their men had beers. And my BIL’s mum drove him and my sister home. Everyone had an early night tonight.

I walked very carefully to the barn there is not one bit of snow left on the ground BTW. It all melted today! So no icy patches.

I then chased those silly chooks around when they decided woohoo the lights are on let’s play! I fed the horses and put the chooks back to bed - everyone is good, Red Hen has decided she wants to stay in hen house ‘a’ with my gang and Henny and her babies. It’s warm in there so I am good with that.

All in all a good evening. I might even see what’s on the tube tonight

And for Alex - tax owed
These two could almost be mum and daughter - except Muffy lays blue eggs

Yesterday before his feather mishap - I laughed at him I was panning the camera around and he was giving it the evil eye

And mama and babies enjoy outside time

And inside time

I think tomorrow I will try to get the hen house ‘b’ door window finished so I can start using it. I have 4 days off next week with Christmas and Boxing Day, and you just know the mild weather won’t last - so hopefully I can get the door done tomorrow.
