Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Was Margo still alive when Dorothy arrived?

Yes. Sometimes I wonder, though, if Dorothy reminds Bridge of Margo. Different feathering, but similar voices.

I hope all these posts aren’t too obnoxious. Just two babies to go! This is Ester. She’s a Barred Rock, but her feathers look more like a Cuckoo Marans. She doesn’t let me get too close, except for when she’s compelled to squat. She’s probably the most nervous of the bunch. The babies are a little more wild than the ones I hand raise, which is probably a good thing.

Not at all obnoxious and you've got some lovely looking hens.

Finally, meet Minnie, my Buckeye pullet. It’s fun seeing the personality similarities within one breed. She is super talkative, friendly, curious (and muscular) and is the only other bird that chases the dog. Coincidence? Also, she survived a predator attack. We think it was a fox, but she managed to survive seemingly unharmed. She has the glossiest feathers I’ve ever seen. For awhile there, I thought she might be a cockerel she was so pretty!

All of your birds look healthy and happy. Beautiful girls, and I'm so glad you shared them. We love pictures and stories of chickens here!

That’s it for the chickens, but it’s only fair I show Lexi, since she helps me protect the flock during free range time.

Here is Cashew, a.k.a. “Big Mama.” She has a special place in my heart for being such an excellent mother. She raised (store bought) chicks last year. You can see by her head and pale face, she’s not quite done with molt yet. She’s a sweetheart and even brought the chicks to my lap. I’ll look for a pic of her bringing the chicks to me.View attachment 2016227

What a pretty little hen!

Aw, she's helpful *and* beautiful! Thanks for all the chicken introductions and your guardian intro as well! So fun to read.
