Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Ya

She’s just plain annoying. 6 weeks broody now.

They are a broody bench...all of our 5 are taking turns laying or going broody. At least one Silkie egg a day & after that DH locks up the coop the rest of the day so broodies have to forage around the yard. But the little buggers see DH go outside & the broodies immediately dash for the coop hoping he'll open it. Sorry, broodies...wait till roost time!

Well, it does make a statement!

It most certainly does

Hmmm, she doesn't look impressed at all with the shower....maybe she should get a treat for tolerating it???

She's getting the best
She actually started to enjoy that shower when she felt the warm water and being rubbed. I think she might have been cold rain again

Nice flag! Does the waving flag help to keep wild birds away?

Wow, I like your years. So much more time than I get, only 12 months in my year here!

Do, please, tell your secret to stretching out the months - i could really, really use the 16-17% more time!!! (as long as I don't have to work @ work during the extra time, too!)

Crele:​

​

Crele is a subvariety of Barred found in many chicken breeds, and the Crele pattern occurs when either a Black-Breasted Red or a Partridge is crossed with a Barred. The resulting bird features eye-catching barring in red and black all over its body. Breeds with Crele varieties include Brahma, Old English Game (pictured here), Dutch Bantam, Orpington and Polish. The [URL='https://www.creamlegbarclub.com/']Golden Crele Legbar is the basis for all varieties of Legbar.​

I love your lessons ~ REALLY ~ but don't get mad at me if I forget. There are so many similar looking patterns I just pick the 1st one comes to mind when I'm posting. Silkies I'm pretty much up on & blue chickens but once patterns are introduced it's a whole new world of wonder & amazement!

Awwwwww!!!

I want to give the squirrel a nice spot for winter. I don't know how on earth it got over here. This side of the city never has them.

Overbreeding in other areas pushes them into new territory where there's food. Cute but pesky rodents!

Our solution

Wish my neighbor would move! When his roosters start crowing, it awakens my guys, and it’s annoying

Some people are great! Others not so much...
