Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I thought PJs were the chickening uniform

Yes, I think so, too! (obviously). I take it another step. For me, it’s also the dog walking uniform in the morning. Not sure what my neighbors think.

Surely the full chickening uniform is PJs and gumboots, with optional dressing gown?

I have coop clogs (with chickens on them naturally) rather than gumboots.

Alas, I am one of those fools who uses flip flops.

Same here! But I just broke my last pair of chicken flip flops yesterday. I need to keep my last pair of flip flops for wearing in public, so need a new pair of yard flip flops. I’m thinking crocs? Any other ideas? If would be nice to have a little cushion and arch support.

I do, too! But I prefer flip flops in summer. And you can no longer see the chickens on the rubber coop clogs.

No, PJs & thongs here. Dressing gown optional but only in winter.

The thongs got me for a moment. I had to look and see who wrote it. I was thinking, 'why would it matter what's under the Pj's'.

In non-chicken news… 22oz tomato, anyone? This is so exciting after the rats ravaged everything last year!

Today is my birthday and I got to spend it with my family and amazing friends.

Bob was kind enough to invite us down for a swim and a visit. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting his daughter, Mary and sweet Eve.

They surprised me with an ice cream cake and everything!

All the chooks came by to say hi and beg for treats. Phyllis is ok, she has switched nests but is still sitting. It was a lovely day all around!

Just got home a few hours ago and I thought I would share this new behavior my turkey Odin showed today.. ☺
.....
It's official my turkeys see me as a turkey. Im good with that. Well one does.. As long as they don't forget im the alpha. Odin be his name. Anyways I sat down on the ground to hang out with my turkeys and Odin comes up to me and starts softly pawing my hand witch was resting on the ground. I was like oh how cute he wants to be held. So I picked him up and put him on my lap and he sat right down. I'm just going on talking to everyone. The turkeys and Chicken Lady and my husband says you need to watch him he's up to something look at his tail feathers. I responded oh he's just puffing up because everyone is so close to me. Well a few minutes go by and Odin starts to drift off to sleep and I pick him up and place him on the ground next to me. He stands up and starts softly pawing my leg. So I put my hand down again to pick him up. Well I finally figured out what he was up too. I left my hand on the ground and he slowly stepped on my hand and slowly squated down and started trying to mate with my hand. My husband yelled and said watch out he's got some stuff going on back there and I pulled my hand back and seen the mess Odin deposited on the ground. Pour guy. So now I have to watch where I put my hands down and make sure I pay closer attention because this is not a good habit for Odin to start.

I always took you as a turkey!
