Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I told my Beetov-Hen that her comb flap was beautiful, and she could use it as a sun shield. Just keep her open eye away from the sunshine.

That’s pretty warm and dry!

18C (64f) here - brrr that’s below seasonal temp BTW

But it’s a good temp for horses and chooks

Fluffy butts…

OH, you sweet doll face!

Say Hi to Dana!

The kiddos were keen to have an adventure…..

And Laverne leads the way with Betty and Butterscotch - such silly girls

But at least they are having fun.

Beautiful and smart as a sixth grader. She was always curious to what I was doing (she’s a good mechanic, helped me R&R my Lexus transmission) Hard for her to do without hands.

How long did you have her ~ so pretty Light Brown Leghorns both roos & hens are beautiful! They look so much like Welsummers as well ~ only difference at a glance seems to be white ears/white eggs for Legs and red ears/terra cotta brown speckled eggs for Wellies. I always wanted these breeds plus maybe about 400 other breeds too .

Niamh is Feeling Friskie Today

Now that the Phyllistines are almost the same size I think Niamh may be taking over leadership. She surely was feeling her oats today.

She started out teaching Éowyn who was boss.

From there she was clearly feeling invincible as she approached Aurora grazing at the fence line with her head held high in attack pose. Aurora looked up and saw her like that. She raised her head up and froze Niamh with a stare that lasted several minutes.

No one moved.

Then Niamh backed away. Here is a photo from after Niamh's neck had lowered a little. I was so shocked I forgot to film it.

I hope she doesn't do that with the fence down. Phyllis tried it the first time she saw Aurora and did not fair well at all.

No one will un-seat the Queen of FBA, no one!!

I had Beetov-Hen and her sister Hen-Rietta for six years. Sis outlived her by a year and a half. Such lovely animals
