Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

You're not kidding. Aurora was appalled by its unkempt state. Even when molting hers is not that messy!

@Marie2020
We all grieve Tina. She had been very unwell on Sunday, and passed Monday morning. Marie had just been wondering about her future with the girls, whether or not to take more chickens, or maybe let them at a wonderful place for rescues she has discovered.
So she was very worried about Princess and everyone on FBA tried to reassure her.

A sad long story, involving again a dog attack.

Fly high, Granite and Quartz. You certainly both made the most of your short lives.
Some good news : Twirp has been found. After spending some time in the house with Whiskey as a companion , she chose to be with the chickens.
Twirp is hanging out with her people. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27293437

Thanks!

Magnificent!
Does she really never get stuff stuck to her beard when she forages in the leaves?

I don't know. There is a lot of censorship on BeakBook regarding any comment that gets a laugh at Queen Aurora.
@BY Bob does Aurora have a deal with Philomena?

Mugs Monday: Becky!
Who is super chatty, and single-handedly keeps me in eggs. She’s second to last in the adult’s pecking order, and wishes ill upon the pullets. She charges them constantly, although luckily won’t pursue for further than 4-5 feet. She is also the first of the flock to go boneless in a beam of sunlight View attachment 3683031

Hi Becky

 

[Ponypoor]

Thanks!

First Egg

While I can’t say for certain the two small eggs I have been getting are Muffy’s, I can say that today’s egg is from her, so I am making today’s egg her first.

Baby blue in colour

Hurray! That’s exciting, officially lol.
I’ve heard blue eggs are difficult to photograph… I assume the photos don’t look true to color?

Yes blue is a terrible colour to photograph truly.

So one down and 5 to go (not including the Hoover chicks), I think Butterscotch will be next. And then Babe and Cash (two of the Hoovers) have been squatting so likely then in a couple weeks

It would be fine with me, if you were to send me some eggs. Any color would be fine. I’m fresh out of my chooks eggs. And yes the union strike continues.
