Fluffy butt Friday

Since it is Friday, and I have happy healthy hens, I have a fluffy butt Friday photo to share. Showing off the girl’s fluffy tails is such a big thing with chicken keepers because chickens that don’t have poofy bums are having health issues. To see a line of clean derrieres is an outward sign that they all might be healthy, which is a great feeling for a carer. I say “might” because they still need their health checks, to part the feathers and look for blocked passages and pests, but a butt that is outwardly dirty is a sign that needs immediate attention. So here is to more fluffy butt photos!
