Molting has my favorite feathered friend looking like one grouchy Butterball
Poor Butterball. Molting season is rough, and my favorite feathered friend is making it known with one seriously grouchy glare. I managed to snag a few decent photos of her despite the attitude, but she's looking like a real life Butterball turkey right now, all puffed up and none too pleased about it. It's a cluck-tastic reminder that even our prettiest hens go through an ugly phase. The whole ordeal has me feeling nostalgic, too. I still miss Butterbaby something fierce. If you're dealing with your own flock's molt madness, check out our piece on "The Great Chick Identification Challenge: Hens or Roosters" for a lighter distraction.
A fowl farewell to Butterbaby, gone too soon from the coop
Oh, Butterbaby. That little feathered friend with the big personality, gone too soon from the coop, and it just doesn't feel right. Losing her suddenly yesterday leaves a hole that no amount of scratch grains can fill. For those of us who followed her cluck-tastic adventures here, seeing her final montage of photos is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. She was clearly a star, and ZypherofWind gave her the farewell she deserved. It's moments like these that remind us why we love our quirky, maddening, wonderful chickens so much. If you need a lighter palate cleanser, our "Cluck-tastic 24/7 Livestream" over at Peckington Square might offer some cheerful peeping to lift your spirits.
Our Quality Control Cluckers: Buttercup & Yankee Doodle Take Their Jobs Seriously!
Buttercup and Yankee Doodle might be young, but they've already mastered the fine art of fowl play, er, quality control. These two diligent cluckers take their jobs seriously, strutting around like they own the place (because, let's be honest, they probably do). It's egg-citing to see such dedication in our feathered friends, especially when they're this committed to keeping things in tip-top shape. Sure, they may ruffle a few feathers along the way, but that's just part of their charm. If you're new to the backyard poultry scene, you might want to check out our piece on "Chickens Got Her Good!" for a taste of the chaos these birds can bring.
