    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Heard squawking and saw Shehnai was balancing on a pullet yesterday. There’s been helping but haven’t seen himgo that far before. Maybe their hormones are starting up? They are 20 weeks old tomorrow. Working hard on excavating for the second coop further away, run still not finished but DH was...

    I thought he is a Speckled Sussex? He won't just be brown. They are pretty spectacular roos! From Meyer's:

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Correct on the second part, not on the first! The last couple of days have been pretty calm but everything just takes me a long time to do. I'm worried about getting it done before it's miserable weather (my fingers are terrible in the cold). The new Buckeyes do not have a finished covered run...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The big deal on rhododendrons is any honey produced from the flowers, that’s been a problem for humans. I haven’t read anything about the bees being affected. Haven’t seen any hens or chicks eat fresh or old dead leaves here. It’s not likely anyone would want to, as the toxin produces a burning...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Because they go to bed at roughly the same time, I'm also thinking that far apart is best. Hazel won't have to get close to Shehnai's roost to get to her own. Day before yesterday Shehnai came running back out after he saw Hazel come into view! Right now both coop/runs are not yet connected to...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Advice on dividing the run and coop placement please? I was thinking of dividing the run fairly evenly in terms of square footage, including each coop's run since they're different. Goal is to keep Hazel protected with visual blockers and with her BO buddies but inaccessible to Shehnai, but...

    The straight-line brain is characteristic here too. Opening the wire mesh door for two hens yesterday: each time she wanted to ultimately go to the right. She can see what she wants. That's the hinge side of the door however. Also, she is standing beak-to-wire. So she must take a few steps...

    ...yes! But it was a short session. Hopefully she’ll indulge later on after a few hours of safety in there. I can’t load any pictures :barnie:barnie ***************** Yesterday After Hazel made low vocal sounds from the big coop Shehnai realized she was in there and went nuts trying to figure...

    The Roovolution organization (?) are a couple that advocate for & educate about roosters. They have YouTube videos and podcasts and a Facebook community group. I’ve mentioned them a couple of times. Those points about eyes I posted came from them.

    Day Late Mugs Monday, the miracle bird Isabel's /Lizbel's eyes & face are striking in the difference between right and left, I realized a few weeks ago each side is different. She has much less or almost no blood flow to her right side at times. It sometimes looks better, here it is in-between...
