Where are those fluffy bums?

[nellie-m]

Not exactly what you expect to see in a "Fruit & Vegetable Showcase" but there is a fluffy bum class - with only three entries so far! That surprises me! I thought there were proud chicken owners and hundreds and hundreds of chooks here, come on ladies, don't be shy....



It's not everyday you get the chance to win a Fluffy Bum Contest!

All my ladies are moulting still, so look more like battery hens than fluffy bums!

[nellie-m]

All of them, oh dear, but at least they'll be through by the time it gets cold...only a few of mine are moulting yet (I actually took the pics yesterday, lovely day it was) - it always amazes me how many of them wait until it's really really nippy and then get rid of their plumage, underwear and all, and look like potatoes with a few feathers stuck in.
Maybe you should enter yours in the "three potatoes" class ;-)

Mine won't stand still for long enough. Though to be honest, I'm not sure I would really with someone waving a camera in my nether regions... Maybe I need to position myself in the kitchen with a zoom lens and see what I can get from there?

I have put my bum up there, well not mine personally you understand...

Yep, all 12 of them, plus the 6 girl ducks... feathers galore!!

Great - I can't view it yet for some reason but I saw that lovely plate of eggs, very nice!

Perkin, congratulations on the fantastic view from your kitchen window, and well done!

I wanted to take a few piccies of a couple of my gals- but they're eating so many veg that they look in need of Imodium!!!( not a pretty sight!)
