Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

It's currently 82°F (28°C). I am sitting out with the ladies under the magnolia tree for the first time this year. Blueberries have been devoured. Now it is on to grass.

Darn. Another great photo of Tassels ruined by the finger.

I did get one when I must have been less frustrated with customer service. I guess it was actually tech support.
It was pretty windy out.

Oooh, this is calendar worthy (the last one - with no 'giving us the finger', LOL). But I think Tassels needs to have a lesson about lounge chairs - you usually use them out-of-doors in NICE, WARM weather.

Love the name! So funny! Lilly looks like a black australorp to me. I have one.

I tried extracting my finger (if you see what I mean).

That is such a perfect example of the killers they are. I am only confused as to why you did not let them sake their blood lust and complete the kill?

Having watched them actively hunt a chipmunk as a collective brings to mind the velociraptors of jurassic park. They are vicious if they need to be.

Well, with their 'joisting of the feet' and the moving rat (remember, held just by the tail under my foot), they were hitting ME in the leg with their killer ninja moves at times when aiming for a rat that moved, so was no longer there!! I had good boots on, but higher up my shins I have a few scrapes THROUGH JEANS - serious nija moves/kicks by them! (They were pecking, too, but those were all aimed downward, so no damage to me from those because if the rat moved, they just hit my boot)

Awww, but mom, it's only a flesh wound!

But I’ll consider your suggestion

This is about usual for us. Thankfully the yard greens up early or else the chickens would have it bare.

Thank you. Lilly was a black copper maran. I think Australorps are gorgeous chickens. I would love to see a photo of yours.

I'm glad you survived. If you ever were to fall I would not scream or holler. You might get the kind of attention you don't want!
