Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Next week will be busy! I pick up another batch of meat birds (who will be kept separated from the main flock), the three hens my mother in law bought, and...well we get a new little guy too :3

They really are a bit soggy!
Mine sometimes hang out in the rain but never to that degree.

My silkies are bad for just standing in the rain ‘taking it’.

Thank you again for the honor of your naming Jaffarra after Sir Jaffar. He was a true gentleman knight and so very brave.

He is a keeper!!!

65 yrs ago I was fascinated w/ Canada after receiving from a school librarian a gift of an autographed book "Mrs. Mike" (later made into a movie) & that's where I learned/researched the Chinook 20 yr phenomenon that sweeps blizzard conditions over the Canadian Northwest into upper parts of the USA. Supposedly that time brings the very worst snow storms.

I always wanted to vacation in the Pacific NW but the Ex took us thru Yosemite & Yellowstone instead. I guess old Faithful & the Buffalo were interesting enough ~ sigh. Not one chicken on the whole trip

Ah! Your thinking of an Alberta clipper - snow makers

Canada - other than the street signs etc, the plants and terrain are just like the US, except the very south of the US (palm trees ), and extreme north of Canada (snow and ice ).

Lots of chickens here

Waiting for pics....tick tock, time's a wasting....

Here goes! That 4 letter word thing got in the way.

These two are 14 weeks old

Patches

This is Icy the other chicklet

How about 'Servant to all things feathered & Furred"???

If that is too long (not sure what the limits are....
How about just 'Beloved animal servant'?

EDIT: or, go with @rural mouse 's thought: 'Critter Pamperer'

I like all of them!

Marie where are you?!

 

[Ponypoor]

Bless her heart ~ old age makes us obnoxious: horses, chickens, even us teehee!

Yup I have been told such

 

[Ponypoor]

This hurt, but today for Wattle Wednesday I will honor those who are no longer with me.

At 14 weeks old, both pullets. Patches will lay first.

Hmmmm, me thinks that she is looking for her hooman - to give her attention and treats!

"Hey, I'm at the treat station - where is that hooman servant????"

"He is supposed to be here to give me snuggles, chat with, and dole out my treats!"

Hurumph...these hoomans seem to not take their jobs too seriously. Can I say 'You're fired???' or will that mean I get nothing??? It's horrible being at the mercy of your servants!!!
