Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Gucci is my first.

My silkies do it, wonder if it’s the different feathers?

I'm so happy to hear this. It's not always easy to preserve wildlife and human cohabitation, but in this case I really couldn't see what damage the feral chickens were doing!

I love this picture, the expressions on their faces are very significant of their personnality. Can you remind me how old they are now ? Unlike @Ponypoor I'm not good with numbers !

I'm not bored, I loved reading this. He sounds much nicer than my adult rooster (that I also love , even when he's a pain). You know when they say some pets and owners grow similarities ? I think you two really found each other.

Perfect twofer!

Ok, maybe not smaller, but same size. This morning they had one of these moments when two chickens stay still very close for a few minutes, seems like one showing something to the other and asserting dominance. My rooster Théo does it with the hens, but sometimes the hens do it together too. You can see the size comparison.

Thanks Manue

Hahaha

I can count to 13 IF the chickens all stand still and don’t move around - otherwise I have to start afresh counting

I sure can i like that the back is all mesh I can lean over the couch and see what they are up to.
It has and electric plug opening on the front I used for the heat plate when they needed it.

Awl shucks, thank you It was a necessity is the mother of invention moment for sure.

Its a good time of year to get a deal on tents too also my daughter takes a small plastic stool in to sit with them which is super cool to be able to do.

They are not idiot government. They just know how to control people well.

So which one is the heritage BR? The one on the right? But I feel the one on the right has the more common look.

Yes, the one on the right. Honestly, for having bought 'heritage BRs', she is my worst example - lots of flaws to specks. But I love her and she is the one who went Broody, so I wanted a pic of her. The 'real/fake' is party an ongoing joke with @featherhead007 and @BY Bob . Although she was hatched on site by a production BR (the one on the left), she looks more like a cuckoo marans in colouring.

Um, you gave them a 'step ladder', then wondered why one used it to escape??? That roost there is a PERFECT chickie/chicken step ladder. Trust me, I know this all too well!
