Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Surprisingly there was not much drama this morning when I opened the door. I may as well leave the door open as long as it’s mild.

Oh and those pullets are going to drive me batty, poor Mr P is just pecked to pieces on his head I feel like I may need to lock him away in the Summer House with some of the older ladies for a few days to let his wounds heal. I so wish I still had some of that blue spray I had with the horses.

Any suggestions anyone to stop them pecking him?

A tiny motorcycle helmet?

@Lilion 's Sheba is not actually molting, you think? I was thinking she's just replacing feathers in those spots? When they lose feathers from injury, those will grow back only there? At least I thought so. Butters had a bare spot or two (tiny) from the brutal hawk attack (she was mostly bruised) and new feathers came in just there.

It's really hard to say. She looks pretty bedraggled all over, much like the other girls did when moulting, and she's stopped laying. She hasn't had a moult yet either. She's not one to let me catch her. I'm just glad she seems okay.

Mr. P is forgiven. He’s walking, not standing on one foot.

Problem with all our rain, is that we don’t get enough time to dry out. I can’t cut the lawn when it’s wet. It’s like chopping salad and my mower can’t handle it.

Maybe I shouldn’t have Jaffar in the house here, watching Foghorn Leghorn cartoons.
But I’m trying to distract him after he saw the picture of HRH Queen Aurora. He’s been preening and picking feathers ever since.

Get him a crown quick smart

I hear you! I tried to mow the grass but all the snow clogged up the outlet chute - made a huge mess!

Snowbird's fluffy butt from 2022 for tax. It amazes me how clean he stays!

That is an impressive bum

Not what I expected.

Exactly.
