Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

Awww thanks for the compliment - they are a great mix of this and that, I have always liked mish-mash animals. And with the chooks it’s just so much guessing as to what I might get!

I sure didn’t expect George to be like that also

Floyd also had the wild poof, I suspect it was a combo of Mr and Marty giving him the poof.

I would love to have a Mr P x Marty daughter but I won’t risk getting another Roo

You saw what @SimpleJenn said.

Next spring start saving those eggs.

I also wish Marty was laying normal eggs rather than soft shell-less eggs she hasn’t laid a normal eggs since last Spring.

Hopefully the Vit D supplement works for her (it arrived today so I will start it tomorrow morning).

No. He was investigating Castor's food

High energy high protien goodness

I really want to hold her but I won’t. She has pin feathers all over her body.

On her behalf I'll thank you for your kindness.

Today has been a bit interesting.

View attachment 4003275While Castor was napping inside the big house...

Then, after he went outside, View attachment 4003271View attachment 4003272And a deer came round to investigate the growly pair

Started to take Sherlock for a walk...View attachment 4003267They came running, hoping for more goodies (they got plenty along side breakfast)

View attachment 4003264Glanced back while heading down the driveway. Sun is behind the mountain (behind me), but still high enough to light the clouds across the valley.

View attachment 4003262Sherlock was sniffing around, came away from the interesting smells when I called, and this fellow popped up. Rabbit, still has at least 1 dark ear, and as large as Castor. Biggest wild rabbit I've ever seen.

Upon getting back to the house...View attachment 4003290(Same place the chickens were in 5 min earlier)

View attachment 4003261And he turned away.

Such an interesting place to live. That wild rabbit may be the result of a crossbreed w/ an escaped domesticated bunny?

That's so cute how the chickies came running! & cute seeing deer & chickens together.

After he stared in the window at me....and turned away as soon as I had the camera ready.

In other words he gave you a moonie

I have seen YouTube videos of squirrels and rabbits chasing deer! Hahaha!
