Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Well, Lady Featherington looks great when she’s angry!

She always looks great!

Picturing that! They need a special light-weight lane in that aisle!

She is an incredible woman, this is true! Thanks.
There are four books in “The Kate Rossi mysteries” series, three are available now, the fourth is in progress. The first is “The Silenced”.
The gang tonight, Popcorn is in the nest box next to them. A plane just went very low overhead and they started looking around just as this was taken.

Maybe you could link this book here. There was a thread on books at one time
I just looked up "The Silenced". That looks like a good read.

Princess last week, on a good day

I am sorry I have been self absorbed the past few days. I saw but did not post condolences for the passing of both In-Albis and Aurora. I am truly sorry for both their losses, they were very well loved.

I also saw poor royalchick is dealing with double broodies. The tyrant Calypso who I hope is broken and dear Tassels. I really think next year if there is no traveling Tassels should get the chance to be the mom she wants to be. If you are up to it that is.

Ponypoor has a new temporary rooster. He is cute but he really needs his sister for company. I am all for allowing children to have pets, being around farm animals and such. This one bothers me. In a way it seems cruel. You get your child 2 chicks, you know they are going to turn them into pets only to have to give them away in a few weeks. To me it is setting the wrong example. What has she learned, chickens are throw-a-ways now. It would have been better to find someone who has chickens and arrange visits every couple weekends to be around them.

I myself know I and deeply due to post chicken tax pictures. I promise to pay up in full Thursday. I need new pictures of the chicks anyway. They are in the middle of a growth spurt and are growing like weeds. I have neglected them though and Adele let me know it today when she flew on top my head and gave me a heck of a time getting her down. I promised them if they would just bear with me until Thursday morning I will resume my cups of coffee first thing in the mornings with them in the coop. We were making such progress even with the silkies. Out and about they were willing to join Adele in hopping on my lap for cuddles. Since Friday afternoon all I have had time or the energy to do is feed, water, gather eggs and do head counts to make sure everyone is accounted for. The adults are also angry as there have been no midday extra treats for snacks. Dottie let her displeasure be known this evening by stalking again and pecking the backs of my legs. If we make it home at a decent hour today I am going to bake cornbread. Not for us, oh no. The whole skillet full will be for the chooks as a "I'm sorry, I do love you" bribe.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Our sincerest condolences on your loss.

Thank you.

I just found out Felicitas is molting. That would explain why her butt fluff came off so easily when I tried cleaning it (she has a ton of it and doesn't lean back while pooping that much).

Moulting butt feathers ~ real poop collectors.

DANA - Dominique butt w/hanging fluff

Tail virtually GONE!

CHAR - Breda w/ tail gone & pin feathers neck

Normal Breda tail/butt

Are we chicken obsessed? Oh, believe me ~ this is not the half of it!

My chicken ring w/gold egg

A ring to remind me of our hawk-beak no-comb Breda chicken "CHAR"

That's a lot of chicken stuff.

That's a lot of chicken stuff.

What's funny is that's not all ~ there's outdoor decor too & indoor statuary & at least half of it were gifts over 13+ yrs! There's lots more stuff but I stopped posting after 35 pictures!

 

[Sylvester017]

It's happening ever such a lot to me. I thought it was only me.
I hope you don't mind, I'm going to report this and include you as well.

I'm so relieved I thought this was my phone.

1st time it's happened to me. I just thought maybe I hit a wrong key or something but when I thought about it how could something repeat a post that's already been completed? Reporting is ok w/me, TY!

It happens here when the network drops. Sometimes I will push post, it'll post, and then it won't register. Then my device will reconnect, and I will hit post again thinking it didn't post, and then there will be two posts.
