Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

And found a black Roo….
Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

To ponder girl or boy, to wait for an egg or a crow, it’s all we can do with our babies, and wait for them all to grow.
Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

The chicks enjoyed their first day out cuteness overload there
Post in thread 'Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock'

Ummmm, it looks more like she is saying:

'enjoy the day lounging.....and exposing your belly so the hooman will think they can rub it - then ATTACK!'



oh, yeah, a chipmunk snack or two might be nice after my mid-afternoon siesta. I guess you got that part right, hooman.
