Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[SimpleJenn]

Kids are just the best!! I wanted to be a nascar driver (used to pretend to be Mark Martin...why not? ), own a restaurant called Just Salads where we would serve salad, ramen noodles, and tang... A zookeeper... Those are the first 3 jobs I remember wanting to have and they were all around the same time LOL

I wanted to be a "singing vegetarian" because I couldn't pronounce vetrinarian. Or a dinosaur.

Penelope

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.

(Shakespeare: Julius Cesar)

A lovely valiant grand old lady

She and Marty were Mr P’s favourite hens.

That she was, and a lucky chicken to live with you.
You're a wise and kind human to your chickens, Kelly, and a role model for us in many ways.
Was Penelope with you since she was a chick ?

So very true. All of Kelly's animals present and past are and have been very lucky indeed

Now they need a tanker truck of milk and a truck of bread.

Thank you, you’re very kind to say this.

Penelope and her two ’sisters’ Blanche and Sophia, came to me from my cousin, they were her feathered friends whom she raised from chicks.

When my cousin moved up north she asked me to ‘please take my chickens for the winter’. Which we all know is code for ‘please take my chickens forever’.

Penelope was an old girl then and Blanche and Sophia are a couple of yrs younger. My cousin had 2 other hens with Penelope but they were killed by a fox, so she got 2 more chicks for Penelope to have friends.

I have hatched out daughters from these three (Dorothy is Penelope’s daughter, Tippy is Sophia’s, and Rose is Blanch’s daughter).

I have no idea what breed they are. Penelope laid a very light blue egg, and both Sophia and blanche lay olive coloured ones.

Penelope and her egg daughter that Henny Penny hatched out. They were having a grooming session.

Sophia - she went broody at age 5! Had never been broody before or since, she was such an awesome mama.

Blanche and her lovely beard and whiskers.

And a portrait of the three old ladies. They always got the best roosting spots.

Yeah, I snuck into her barn and lived there for three days. She didn’t even notice me. The horses did and so did the chooks.

You’d think that she would notice the airplane in her driveway, but she didn’t. It’s a Canadian thing I guess!
