Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Splendid Day

Hattie has had a great day today. It has been in the low 40s (4C) and sunny, the snow is mostly gone, and she has been roaming the yard with everyone.

It has been a joy to watch.

Poor little kid!

Agreed. While the chicks following were funny, the kid's screams were terrified.

I’m happy to announce that I have spent my day with the chooks. My eleven happy birds and even time with Nacho and her three cuties. It’s been a wonderful day today. And at the moment, I have my RIR Dakota with me. She’s been laying those huge eggs (unbelievable)

Tomorrow I will be flying into the city, to do some needed clothing shopping and groceries possibly. My rental car will be waiting for me. (I’m in a ride sharing program and pilots take turns getting vehicles as needed) Paul said that he would watch over my birds for me while I’m away. God bless his heart .

I did mention to paul, if it weren’t for the fact that the Sheriffs department hanger is next to mine, I’d gladly allow him to build an apartment right inside and live rent free. There’s enough space for two cars and Marie!

Well, I did a thing today, darn my brother and his enabling.

They have been home about 30 minutes. I have them in the coop settling down. I saw them both, and could not decide on which one to take and leave the other.

Rosie already named them. Mr plum wattles is now Davy Jones and his brother is Hector Barbosa. Davy and Barbosa for short. Davy is the braver of the two. When I let them out of the box I spooked Barbosa by moving the box back and he went into the nest box and hid. Davy just stood there looking at me and I massaged his crop. I have yet to meet a rooster who does not enjoy a good crop massage and Davy is no exception. Tomorrow I will spend all day outside. Half my time with my dear George and the other half just sitting in the coop getting to know the boys.
Davy after his crop massage, I think he wanted me to do it again.

I do not care what else happens this year all is right in my chicken world again. I have my black silkie roo's.

Mine hang out with their same breed mostly. That's so interesting to me.

Birds of a feather, so to speak.

Hooray! I'm so happy for you.

I assume Davy Jones is named after this singer.....
