Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Shanai has been regularly challenging Diane, but I haven’t seen any encounters in over a week. At that time they were beak to beak in a stare down after a scuffle, and Hazel suddenly ran at Shanai from behind, at ramming speed with a great leap at the end, and Shanai did not see her coming. That maybe put a stop to it, haven’t seen any since…maybe for the time being…

One of the best shots when I let them do their own photo shoot

I was trying to figure out what on earth it was!!!

Should go in the comments contest for sure!!!

Bananas only fruit once. But if you have good pace to grow them, they send up offshoots, which the 'new' sprouts will then fruit in due time.

Tax:

I know - right?!

I need to find out what the lady who had Sir Shorley has decided about the d’Ucccles she was looking at

Here we go again. The farmers are spraying chemicals on the almond orchard across the highway. They started at 04:00 this morning. I let the chooks out early so they get a fighting chance away from the dust and insecticides. They can hide under the house if needed.

Bananas - and they can put out lots of little banana plants called suckers or pups.

I cut off 4 pups from my banana plants when I dug them up to pot and bring inside.

Most banana plants don’t produce edible fruit, but do produce lovely flowers and then the banana pods full of seeds.

Consumer bananas were developed to not have seeds.


Fluffy Butt Friday

Some running and wandering baby butts

That is an 'Angry Bird' look if I ever saw one! @Ponypoor , protect those eyes, I think she could peck them right through the computer with that look!!!

They’re hard at work on the photo shoot! You’re seeing peak concentration!

I had a dream I was hanging with the girls. Counted them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

...

5?!

Aliss was there walking around like nothing happened, but she was covered in dirt like she had just crawled out of her grave. I was happy but confused I'll choose to believe she was visiting me in a dream to spend a little time together

Now for some names

View attachment 4214041Jax, the pretty boy. I'm guessing from his wing tips he's got a bit of Bielefelder in him, but truly don't know.

View attachment 4214042Koonj my Thing granddaughter. Named after the Demoiselle Crane
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoiselle_crane

Called Koonj in India, and considered a creature of grace and elegance.

View attachment 4214043Matilda, my tree climber, after Roald Dahl's intrepid little lady.

Beautiful! Koonj is darker than Thing, as I recall. More slender? But they’re young still.

Beak concentration, rather!

Maybe she was dustbathing too
