    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    She has moved on from the birch tree stump to the grapevines. I plan to cut the stump down further this fall until it is down to ground level. I think for now I will leave the courtyard open but it is a good suggestion.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I've made a lot of mistakes raising chickens and made things harder on myself and then over the years. Looking back I really wish I could have found three girls in the chicks when we got these two but there just weren't three there. When I decided to correct my latest and the opportunity to...

    That's not in the run, it's in the courtyard between the 2 coops, where the birch tree stood.

    All we really can do is speculate. They are creatures with free will. We can only encourage. They decide.

    Is a plastic toothpick harder than a sunflower seed? It will be ground up pretty small before it exits.

    Craws are surprisingly tough. They hold rocks after all. I would think that it will simply be ground up and passed through. Many chickens survive having eaten metal screws as long as they are not galvanized.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The plan is that when I release Tilly and Joy from quarantine all three will be enclosed together in the big run and cluckle hut for a period of time. This will limit the roosting choices to what is in the run and Cluckle Hut. I am hoping this will bring them together with Niamh in charge...

    More Developments Post Nimue Nimue went to roost in the Cluckle Hut every night. Every night Niamh would try and convince her to sleep outside but would concede and join her on the roost. With Nimue gone now, Niamh is roosting outside every night. The old birch tree stump is her location of...

    I imagine Niamh will have all 3 of them in the house eventually. I have conceded as she consistently beats me through the door.

    They have all the energy, intelligence, and escapability of leghorns. Without the laying issues. I think that's why I like them so much.
