Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Candlemas Day
(aka Groundhog Day)

"If Candlemas Day be fair and bright. Winter will take another flight; If Candlemas Day be foul and rain, Winter is gone and won't come again."

With Clyde the Brave as you shadow host

He is cute. And I didn’t know that Candlemas was where Groundhog Day came from!

Our snow is gone. The yard is their realm again.

And we've gotten a couple inches in the past few hours... Just looking at this picture I can hear them in there complaining, "come on, let us out!!"

So idyllic - meanwhile meteorological talk is, we are in for at least another month of ‘fowl’ weather.

No matter what the groundhog rooster predicts!

Snow due here later today and for the next few days.
Weather tax: Tassels from the summer to remind me what a red comb looks like.

Where on the body is the growth? head? foot? toe?

Right shoulder

My rooster, he sure is loud in the morning. I bet all the ladies hate hearing his obnoxious crowing every morning. He doesn’t understand the words “shut up!”
My hen Blue, just loves him so much. Deep into the night, those two birds almost become one

Depends upon the individual birds. There are some silkies that would rule the flock.

Mine sure did! Queen Samara and second-in-command Morinth. The only upset was when Samara went broody. They cooperated with Liara, who was a great "spotter."
