    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Today is their first day in there. We have the fence coming out on the ground about 16-20 inches on all sides and it's pulled really tight. We'll use landscaping staples to tack it down if necessary. They're liking it though!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Not nearly as windy today here as it was yesterday. It's cooler though. Yesterday it was 75⁰F when I woke up at 7AM... Today it was 35⁰F. It's warming up though! The girls loooove their outside time and who am I to not let them have it? Magrat got down when I asked* *she didn't hear me the...

    Magrat wasn't laying her egg fast enough? Too much wind? Not enough mealworms? Who knows! 🤣

    By process of elimination I found out Magrat was the one who laid the soft shelled egg, so I'll keep an eye on her. She's keeping up with everybody today just fine! Here's what dad and I got done today.

    Esme is in the nest now so it wasn't hers... Hmm... In other news, some beastie walked thru the girls' outside water at some point!

    live chicken coop feed

    Not chickens but Cornell Lab's youtube channel has live bird cams! My favorites are the nestcams. They've got red tailed hawk, osprey, barred owl, great horned owl, kestrel, and royal albatross nestcams going right now! Sometimes it's nice to just sit and do nothing really productive, just have...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Good morning! We got another soft-shelled egg this morning. I didn't get a picture. It was in the nest with Sybil's egg so it's just going to be a process of seeing who lays when today to figure out whose it was. I'm guessing Esme since she also usually lays early in the morning, and she was...

    6/28/2025 - Michigan Chickenstock

    I really, really hope I can go! Transportation is just such an issue especially with my extended family being here for the summer. They only get a rental car sometimes and my aunt is always using our only car to go shopping just about every day when she's here and she doesn't tell anyone when...

    Dang it... I'm interested in what it is! I love raptors 😆 Do you have the Merlin app? I love it. You can do step-by-step ID or sound ID which is really cool. And you can log your sightings! Tax: Merlin does not recognize chicken sounds. No matter how loud they're screaming :idunno:gig

    Raptor tax! It's just a bit chilly this morning (38⁰F currently). Esme is doing her best flamingo impression, keeping her feet warm 😆

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Northern Harriers are fairly large and have owlish heads, and they usually glide low to the ground while hunting. Pretty easy to ID against small raptors like merlins which are about the size of a robin or a bit bigger. Cooper's hawks are larger than merlins but not as large as the harrier...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yesterday dad and I started on an expansion for the run These 4x4s are buried 2½-3ft in the ground. All we're going to do is attach snow fencing to the run and wrap it around, and then put some garden netting over the top, and add a little access door to their run so they can get out there...
