Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Now he REALLY looks like this....

Kelly, she has a difficult time understanding Canadian. I will translate this to her in a few minutes.

I spoke with Hen-Rietta, and she said thank you for the compliment.

YES! A mullet! That’s what I was also thinking hahaha

His skin is pretty much cleared, just some crud in the fold of his skin at the back of his neck. He ear is all good, but I am going to take a look tonight now he has his new mullet and ‘I can see clearly now to feathers are gone…. ‘

No obstacles in my way?

Ooh Bert, I see it, the start of a top knot. It may not be as impressive as his fathers but it is there. I really miss having chicks around but it is for the best. It is too cold and I just do not have the time right now to properly snuggle them.

These chicks are the easiest of all so far! Henny has pretty much done all the work. And thankfully it’s been fairly mild for here. They are fully integrated with the flock and no one gives them a second look - it helps that both Henny and Marty are looking out for them

I already got sick. I now have a cough and I have to blow my nose every so often as a keepsake for the next few days.
The chickens think I'm crazy when I blow my nose.

Tis the season, I am keeping you youngsters away from me! I cannot afford to get ill my mum can’t do chores in this muddy weather - and I have to work… and then there are the chooks.

Meanie may be starting a moult? That would make her want to isolate herself too.

No, she's actually growing her feathers back at this point.

It's been a revealing few days. I watched as best I could, and it's pretty clearly Tres she's avoiding. She will come out of hiding to scratch and eat with any of the ladies, but that big boy comes in and she pretty much immediately dives for cover. I actually never even saw him try mating. He just comes near and she's in a panic.

That doesn't mean there isn't quite a power struggle going on. Tonight I found Goldie attempting to insert herself between Meanie and Sheba on the top roost. Meanie was less than pleased. Sheba, as always, was Switzerland.

I actually did move Goldie down to the lower roost. I probably should have let them just deal with it, but who knows what she did when I left?

Perhaps the young princess has thoughts of becoming queen?

Here are the last synopsis links @Pastel The Rooster. I can send you more but I think you are not allowed to spend too much time on BYC unless you have excellent grades .

Tonight's Roosting

I can't figure them out. All in the Main Coop. I can't remember Glynda and Lady Featherington ever using that roost before.

They spent the whole day together in the coop, peacefully, so maybe that helped to bring this about.
