    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    My Olive Egger and my Welsummer - my Twofer contribution. They are two of the four that DH calls the "brown chickens" because he can't remember their names.

    Glais has an amazingly bright green patch on his side that you can really see in that last picture.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Monday mugs. After getting their outside space, the chickens haven't gotten out much lately. Here they are back in their element. Abigail, my BR. And then, Emily, one of my two wackadoodle Easter Eggers. Anyone else have a beautiful chicken that's just crazy? Last is my favorite, my SS Louisa...

    I have also found that keeping it tightly covered helps seal the juices in and keeps it moist. I only uncover for the last 39 minutes if I want it to brown more, but that's never been necessary actually.

    Yes! I always try to buy hard copies of any reference book! It's so hard to go back and find bookmarks in my Kindle

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I think we need a picture of that! I'm not sure how my birds sleep because when I open their big door with a lantern in hand they all jerk and stare at me with guilty looks. And then maybe the Big Boss Bresse will clear the roost bars in both directions just because she can and everyone is in an...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I haven't read the books but did watch the show, Shetland. A lot of the attraction for me was the shots of the beautiful scenery. It is a place I'd love to go, but DH doesn't want to go visit a place where people are constantly washing up dead. (Kidding - maybe some day.)

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I really really want a Columbian colored chicken or Light Sussex. I've been hesitant to get a Columbian Wyandotte, or any other Wyandotte, because I regularly read that they can be mean. I've got a enough issues with the Bossy Bresse. It's good to read that your Wyandotte was sweet.

    This! It sounded to me like she was muttering, but you immediately know what's going on when you hear it!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Today I was sitting out in the new chicken yard with the big girls and we heard a hawk. I scanned the sky and didn't see it, then I looked at them. A couple of them had frozen, and then Jane (Orpington) did the warning call. The first and only time I have heard one of my girls do it was in the...

    BYC Member Interview - TX Chick Noob

    There's a Texas thread? How did I not know this? It was a great interview! I love that you keep adding chickens, and I love that you appreciate their personalities.
