Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Well, in my opinion - you will just have to set a dozen or so of their eggs to see what hatches. All in the name of science, of course!

I am all for sending them to you if you like

From my grandparents house, we would walk 2 miles to the river every day while visiting them.

Uphill both ways, too, no doubt!

You synops guys are great

On Their Own
With this step I will be no longer carrying the littles to bed.

View attachment 4125829

Here is the video of them exploring the new opening and what was beyond.

Niamh was the first down the steps.

Nimue soon followed

Nimue promptly dug 2 deep holes in the run.

The next step will be to see if they can find their way back to roost tonight.

So adorable, I love that both have slightly different “hairstyles”, very nice of them to make it easier on their fans to tell them apart.

 

[Sylvester017]

That was lovely - thanks for your hard work! I need to figure out those links you create I really need to step up to the challenge!

Everyone who does synops amazes me. I'm still typing one hand. The right arm surgery is still not working well but therapy slowly progressing. Got numbness in both hands equally ~ therapist thinks is a neck issue so going for MRI next Saturday. Arthritis is so much fun ~ NOT

Not sure if heart issue or arthritis slowed Violet down in her old age, or maybe both, but she did make it to over 11 yrs.

Last pic of her 11 days before she passed ~ this is how I'll always remember her ~ running away from the camera

Chive, the only baby Roo with a mini crest:

Thyme came to say hello to everyone at FBA:

Chervil sat with me for a bit this morning.

Pebble is working on her plumage and hop ups today:

 

[Sylvester017]

I stand by my statement!

&, pray tell, how would you happen to know she snores?

 

[Sylvester017]

One of my newest little ones has the deepest blue eyes. I took a few minutes, just staring into them. I know sadly that the eyes will turn yellow in time.
The Pullet reminded me of the blue eyes that my father had.

Blue eyes are pretty...take a snapshot quick before they change color

Our Dom juvies had blue eyes before they changed to reddish-bay

 

[Sylvester017]

Wow, being a kid was so long ago!

W/me, my kid days go farther back than before you were born

 

[RoyalChick]

So adorable, I love that both have slightly different “hairstyles”, very nice of them to make it easier on their fans to tell them apart.

I was thinking the same thing! It also seems that they have different personalities (chickenalities?) so that will help.
