Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Remember my Beetovhen?
She cornered a 5 foot snake in the coop, and Bok bok’d in alarm until I went to see what was happening. Neither her nor the snake moved a muscle until I arrived to break up the party.
I relocated the snake a mile away

.....I'd love some dark brown egg layers.

Chocolate layers, olive, avocado, mint, blue, terra cotta, bright white, pink, cream, light brown, beige, mauve, etc etc etc. I wanted them all at one time. Just not enough time to experience them all in our restricted area code! But we've been happily blessed w/ the Silkie eggs the last couple years & always had eggs thru winter. Silkies are a very underrated breed & so glad we have them in our twilight years of chickeneering.

It’s true, I underrate your Silkies all the time. Please understand that this is a chicken club, and not a janitors closet.

I went out and snapped a few pictures.

I love this, silkie girls hard at work. That is Patsy and the black one is Lori. Martina the other partridge with the beard has already laid so that is 3 girls hard at work.

Today's haul so far, Lori has yet to lay she is just making herself comfortable.

Mrs. E is laying, she laid her first egg yesterday and here is todays. I am pleasantly surprised by the size. I was thinking it would be smaller. I know it is Mrs. E's egg because I caught her in the act yesterday and today.

Mrs. E herself, my not so bantam, bantam brahma. She is as big as my big girls. I know I say I want a big brahma, but, just how big are those "big" girls?

I wore crocs out today, Bosa was curious but seeing as how there was no shoe string, he did not peck my feet. So, it is a shoe string fetish he has.

His shadow looks like a cockatoo.View attachment 4061978View attachment 4061980View attachment 4061981View attachment 4061982View attachment 4061983View attachment 4061984View attachment 4061985View attachment 4061987
What is it with these silkie boys. They have all fallen head over heels for the too big for them cochin girls.

Wow! Beautiful! I would love ALL of them

Nosy Posy the little Polkie.


An absolute cuddlebug, had to push their way past all the older silkies to get in on that snuggling. Hubby was calling them "cheekypoofs"

If Aurora didn't agree with you, she'd likely be demanding taxes....or bribes to overlook...or both...

Does this mean they're getting named after brands of blush or makeup brushes?

He should pay tax, just in case

But I have to admit, they have the most beautiful feather dusters I’ve ever seen
