    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    And here’s the commode frame in action. I tried to take off the seat and couldn’t. I’ve actually found it handy to place things on and sat on it too. Tonight Here’s everybody inside. I took out the nest box divider for more air circulation in this heat, better exhaust fan efficiency (two...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Which feeders do you mean? The little red one in the first post and your little blue one don't hang, there's no loop to attach to, unless you rig up something. The little ones with round holes that sit and don't hang - the one I got the very bottom separates from the holes by way of sliding...

    Oh yes! Note you can attach all kinds of perches on it too! And - the old commode seat frame is also doing perch duty in the pullet's little coop run! Aren't the chicks talking constantly too, or can't you hear them over Momma? Everybody is in constant communication. Sonar systems all go. Maybe...

    Two things about each feeder - both could use more substantial tab sliding closures. The red one has a twist-off tabbed base, at least the red one I have does. So you’d have to be sure it’s twisted completely on before hanging. Probably they figure it’s not likely to twist off siting on the...

    Tedi is the easiest- going Spud with these pullets, she doesn’t / never did hunt them and usually doesn’t drive them away, she just goes about her business. But she had to respond to that impunity, and she did, but it was quite minimal.

    The chicks don’t know any better and Pooh is learning too! The first thing boss pullet Shanai did when she met Tedi was jump up to chest bump with her, and win and dominate like she always did with everyone else she knew up to that point. She didn’t win.

    This chick feeder I added this year, the base seems to spill a lot of feed. Maybe because of the sloped holes, the upper feed container lets a lot of feed down and it spills over the lower edges with the lightest peck. Tons of feed and dust surround it. One similar to this I’ve had for years...

    So, seeing this looks just like a real Caravan, original tiny house, and with Tassels in charge, forgive me if this isn’t the proper respectful name, but Gypsies (Roma?) came to mind! Found one with tassels too!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    So is that Geronimo about to leap up to the cardboard top edge? Mama is doubling / merely a handy springboard…. Sorry for my incessant worrying, the first thing I think is that one will get caught out and end up between the cardboard and the cage wire, but probably will pop through they’re so...

    Solved Adding media to my gallery

    This might be fixed for me, too! I thought it was a Pixel 9 update/incompatibility issue, or possibly malware on my phone. Only affected uploads from my phone, been going on since about Aug 5.

    Beautiful! It’s not possible to post too many pictures of chicks! 😍 😍 😍 The eyeliner is not at all like it was in that previous picture. The distinct stand-alone head stripe against such faint / non-existent chipmunk is interesting. Her coloring seems right. She could be a Buckeye. Whatever...
