Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think it's a big club.

With many lucky chickens in it!

Yeah. We bought some expecting to move to a huge area by the time they were big. Yeah. Nope. They now have a monopoly on the backyard space.

Our story is chronicled here. Read from the start.

Yours I know

Some of the others I know but I forget over time…. I’m not 19 anymore apparently!

I know right?! I used to have a horse stable, now I have a large chicken coop

Large Chicken Coop with Horses.

And they have taken right over! They do whatever they want! They go wherever they want (except that hay stall now mwahahahaha ).

And there isn’t one spider within 2’ of the floor, and I have noticed that up in the ceiling/loft floor joists along the beams there are no spider webs!

Amazing hunters.

Mine need to learn from your lot. I have lots of webs in the Chicken Palace.
Pooh’s new feathers have come in with spots all over her chest. It is very pretty but my fingers are waaay too cold to get a picture.
Have to see if any of the cameras get a good shot of her.
Calypso has grown lots of new feathers but she is still shedding. When she shakes herself feathers fly out in all directions. I really wish she hadn’t left it so late!

So long as you can get the camera app open on your phone, you can use one of the volume keys to take a photo.

Hey everyone

I miss a day and a half and get behind.

Poppet is crazy. She has finally decided snow or not she is done staying in the coop with Turkey. They are not spending their time in the stalls either, they are staying in the area between the cover stalls and the coop. Poor little Turkey. Her momma decides it is time to show her the big world when there is still spots of snow taller then she is. They are doing well though and she is keeping Turkey warm. I am officially sick of the weather though now. We had 1 day that got semi warm and did a partial melt before temps dropped back down and turned what was left of the snow into ice. We have another storm supposed to hit Sunday.

Rosie is all for another snow storm, she still has not returned to school. They missed all last week and this week due to weather. When they do head back she is going to be hurting as she has her days and nights totally flipped around.

All I have to say for now is it's going to be -1 F on Tuesday. Yes, you read that right. Hopefully businesses close because I can only imagine the electricity going up with those heaters being on all the time... Oh, and also, this is the coldest temperature I have ever experienced.

I'm thinking Grandma wants a spot on the couch. Or the kitchen floor.

Hopefully you won’t fall down again next month. As we age, we don’t bounce back like we used to.
Last year’s hard landing, would probably hospitalize me today if it happened again

I had to be helped up. It was so embarrassing
