Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

FBA Weekly Synopsis to October 5, 2024

Thanks to @Ponypoor for last week's synopsis which is available here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28046392

Why did the Chicken cross the road go to the Michigan State Capitol?
Our chicken news this week is dominated by an epic, 547 mile journey, made by our intrepid heroes @BY Bob and Versace to meet @SimpleJenn, and to start a new life (well Versace not Bob).
Like all great expeditions much preparation and luggage was involved

The sequel to this classic 'coming home' movie is already under development with a wonderful plot thanks to @RebeccaBoyd and some interesting new character dynamics (possibly inspired by HRH Aurora).

What a wonderful story, and I am very much looking forward to the sequel.

In other news:

Both @rural mouse and @Ponypoor have tailless chickens. So do I, but I think I posted Bernie's depleted look last week, and this week she is in a terrible state so I will not shame her!

And chicken-math has come home to roost for poor Kelly, who is inundated with beautiful cockerels that she has to find homes for.

As always I apologize if I missed anything important. This week I have been a bit distracted with a sick cat so may well have mis-posted.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone

This is an epic summary. Thanks so much for doing this!

Little darling CeeCee my EE! View attachment 3958949

She's beautiful!

 

[BY Bob]

I love the comparison of Nyx and Galadriel. She is an almost ethereal beauty.

We went to the shop picnic today and hubby won a grill! He's been talking about entering to win it for like two weeks, I'm so happy we ended up winning!

Ric Flair may be physically smaller than Versace, but he seems okay with his existence. He did NOT let him have Nyx though, she's his girl.

Bab is torn, does she want to be one of Rics girls? Or Versaces?

Wonderful on winning the grill. I'm excited to see how the pairings work out.

 

[BY Bob]

What a marvellous outcome for Versace!

It really was. He is a lucky little man.

 

[BY Bob]

He gave such a deep sigh right at the end. Or was it a poop?

It must have been a sigh.

 

[SimpleJenn]

A handsome lad!

I just love how the foil bubblewrap looks.

Versace will be loved, that’s for sure. I’m very happy for him.
(I’m sure that Bob and Mrs Bob loved him too)
