Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

She's got a calm look to her eye. Am I imagining that?

She’s with me, and she feels safe.



Or, I drugged her so she’d calm down.. just kidding

She's a real cutie.

She is, and I have five more of different colors, also cute!

The boys are giving me no hints, they neither chase or grab this little fluff. Comrade may have done a bit of foot stomping, but no drop wing.
They don't fight being held anymore, which is good for me haha.
I definitely see brown feathers on the shoulders and tail, and maybe a couple on the neck. No sign of glossy saddle feathers coming in yet. All visible feathers are round and normal texture. Age is 13 weeks.

Time and life experience has made me this way, I just can’t help myself

Today is a outside work day. Planted 3 deck pots: 2 colors of petunias and an assortment zinnias. Also weedwacked the patio bed, excavated part and planted a lupine. Then had to fence it as Whiskey was encouraging the ladies to dig around it in the freshly turned dirt.View attachment 4135133

Cleaned and filled hummingbird feeders, 1 hung on new railing hook, others awaiting longer arms to go up (DS Will be hanging them later today around the patio)View attachment 4135132



Refilled the scratch bin and they got a handful as the gathered outside the door to watch. Checked the location of Sherlock's ball as it rolled off the deck while planting. Need the throwing stick to retrieve it as it bounced into the nook behind the wood pile.View attachment 4135131

The hung feeder has already been found as a bird whizzed away when I headed back inside.

Posy is a puzzler. Nothing's jumping out at me either, other than those reddish tips....which aren't what I would expect from the rusty shoulders roo look.

I have that name saved for one of my cochins here. I need to see them grow before I pick. And Petunia. I love the name Petunia
