Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

@Ponypoor @featherhead007
The butt star is a pattern my husband found and thought was hilarious, so I made it for the tree. We don't like to impale the angels here, I prefer a star on top!

I wonder if any of the girls would have started laying by now? Oh no, now I am sad

Note: just because you can do something with a pattern doesn’t necessarily mean you should do something with that pattern.

I love the snuggly hens which in our case are all our Silkies except one who prefers to be the standoffish flock guardian. Some chickens are natural snuggle buns, lap sitters, some are alert guardians, some are hypersensitive, others laid back. Like a box of chocolates ~ never know what you're gonna get.

Our standoffish Silkie flock guardian "Ginny" is 2nd in pecking order after the old alpha Dominique:

Have you ever seen the Star Trek episode of “Trouble With Tribbles”
( now what was the point I was trying to make?)

Fed the horses and checked the chooks. Counted the hens in the Hen House as I hadn’t done it earlier, there was one missing and I could not find her.

Finally I did an individual count, when I got to the part about 3 Roos….. duh! Bert - he was the missing head count.

Oops I spoke too soon. Now I am in a squall warning.

I knew it had to happen

I’m so cold here, I better bundle up. Wear my warm clothes and jacket and boots today.

I don't know but as the lady captain once said, resistance is futile

Now what was my point in this reply.
Blowed if I can remember

The old ladies have their winter gear on today, they are taking their usual mid morning snooze.

Lulu - hates a blanket and really doesn’t need one

One last time outside before the snow

Do you think she will lay soon? Gosh they are so lovely. I really do need a huge huge barn for all the chickens I want

Guessing not until after the solstice, days are so short now.

Yes it gets dark here just after 4:30pm, doesn’t get light until after 7:30am. Makes for gloomy days.

And you’re correct! Another month and the daylight hrs will start getting longer.
