Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Desertvalleychickens]

What a beautiful rooster!

Sure is!

It’s here:

That's my job.

Hey! Get Out!

You should have heard the squawk I got taking this photo!

Gosh. She just always looks SO put together. None of my chickens has that perfect of a comb, that neat of a beard.

Potty humor is just a given for those of the male persuasion.

Wait, there’s no potty humor in the women’s chat?!

Lucky

My neighbour popped over to say one of my chickens was over there.

Nope they are all here!

So she shows me the wayward chicken and I said ……

Spoiler: Lucky

Her though I will keep!!!

How she didn’t get eaten getting all the way down here from my neighbour 1km up the road I will never know! It’s heavy bush and swamp. She’s one lucky clucky!

Spoiler: You didn’t think I would make it easy now did you?

Alas it isn’t to be…..

She belongs to the lady 3 houses up, she has 2 little boys. And 3 other chickens 1 is a very naughty polish Roo, and another polish hen, and another little bantam hen.

She had them outside yesterday and she went to get lunch for her little boys and when she went back out the hen was gone! She expected the hen got caught by a fox. She was so eggcited when she learnt I had the hen I thought she might cry.

My BIL told me he thought he heard a rooster crowing on that property yesterday when he went for a walk. So I went there.

So the lady her little 5 yr old and I went back over to my place to get the hen. And no wonder that hen is so quiet, the little boy walked up and picked up the hen and carried her off hahaha so sweet

I have a feeling Lakshmi might be a bit hard for a 5 & 3 yr old, but Lucky may be easy. Seems the boys have been calling her all sorts of names.

In the end I am thrilled it all turned out well.

So, now that you’ve had a taste of a nice, friendly, huggable polish… is this lady going to tell you where she got her chooks?!

 

[BeastBaby]

Well, this is my featured not-a-chicken photo of the day!

We have had a spat of crazy warm weather, read: it is gorgeous! 70 degrees, bright sun, fresh spring flowers, and because it’s still supposed to be cold, the trees haven't begun their Spring allergy attack yet!

The chooks have benefited from me gardening up in the yard all day long because I’m providing even more snacks than usual. My current favorite trend is to broadcast lots of tiny treat morsels all over this portion of their run. A fistful of flax seeds, oats, grass clippings, etc. It takes them longer to gobble up, and each gal gets a fair chance to snag some.

The Hulk

Only if he's a giant, a Brahma, or a large fowl cochin.....or possibly an orpington. As he's none of those, it doesn't work. (Same reasoning re: Shrek)

Leprechaun works quite well. Iguana when he's sunbathing.

Hello FBF, I am doing some chicken sitting with a heavy heart, my mama passed on the 7th, she had been ill for some time. I got to travel back to Delaware to see her shortly before and I am grateful for that.

I'm really sorry for your loss

Of course not! We have more refined taste, leaning toward bedroom humor, rather than potty humor.
