Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

You have a new kitty???? Or is that daughter's kitty?

That's my daughters cat, Toast.

What a lovely kitty, she has beautiful eyes

Thank you. She is very sweet.

Wow - she feathered quickly. (She really isn't THAT old, yet, is she? Kids these days - they grow up so fast!!!)

She just might give Phyllis a run for her money for status on the catwalk - she rocks that elegant, confident look!

She will be 3 weeks old on Monday. They are getting there quickly.

Now what do I do? I gave the little ones and mama hen, a day in the yard. They had so much fun, dirt bathing, running around in the yard and exploring the barn coop. But two of the littles would not let me catch them (impossible by the way) so I took mama back outside and let her loose. Now I don’t know how to get them back inside. I have five of the little ones in with me and they don’t mind snuggling with me.
As it stands… two mamas with two little ones each out in the backyard. I’m sure mama hen is probably worried about her other five kids. The birds are twice as fast as my big ones.

It’s a dilemma I am familiar with!

It’s a dilemma I am familiar with!

One in , two in, then one escapes, then three in, and two escape.
It’s a madhouse I tell you!

The idiot next door is trying to call mama hen and the two chicks. If he gets them, then I have five orphans on my hands.
There’s no agreeable solution for working with that neighbor.
I told him specifically that he would be trespassing if he came on my property. The sheriff has been notified of the situation, but no law has been broken according to the (evidence code) I’m ready with my camera.
But what good will it do? He’s mentally unstable.

@rural mouse splash? He's getting BLUE feathers like actual blue ones. May have been the lighting his father is a colombian pattern...and his grandparents are a grey-blue silkie and a crested cream legbar hen.

He is also getting them, but no white coming in

Had to ziptie it to the run because they knocked it over earlier. Much prettier than folded blankets draped over.

There's one of the blue feathers on Cadet.

Hi Red!

Checking for snacks

Settling in, almost fell asleep but one of the marans boys hopped up and she woke up.

OMG, Major research is being done tonight. George has either mites or lice. Either way he has creepy crawlies all over his head poof and in his neck feathers. I ended up having creepy crawlies on me from snuggling him when I got home to put him up. I do not do creepy crawlies in no shape form or fashion. I figure I need something to treat them all now, and the coops. I want pesticides, I'm not going with natural remedies. Death to the creepy crawlies.

First time with a bug issue in 6 years of having chickens so I am fortunate. I always heard crested breeds were prone to getting them and George is my first true crested chicken.
