Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Ivy has given up hopping the fence. I think she just wanted to know a little more about the world but nowadays she content to remain in the yard.

I have been meaning to ask about her excursions. I'm glad to hear that she has settled in.

I am wondering if Phyllis utilized the woodpile to get out. Sansa has been up there before. This is why I want to watch her break out.

Oh no! I'm glad she didn't hurt herself trying to get out of that situation!!!

Thank you! She was fine... but it was good that we saw her.. she was pretty much staying still.. I had to kind of toss her to where I could get a hold of her from up top... I didn’t want to cut the net but of course I would have it need be...

This is one of my favourite pictures of Lucy and Penny. After they had finished foraging, they just came and hung out with me. Chickie is just in the photo under the slide, on the left, but she wasn’t sitting. Then they all had a preening session.

Three hungry chicks
An update on the Carolina wrens. They are growing fast and the parents came in every 5 minutes from about 6:15 this morning to now (just before 8pm). It is exhausting just watching them go back-and-forth - they really are very dedicated.

The chicks look quite feathered to me (and they are very noisy) so I am hoping to see them fly off soon!

Here’s the little stinker! Who got back in her nest twice today... but apparently did not make the jump this time! I think she is jumping to the roof of the coop then jumping down in their yard... this time the net caught her!! Good thing the girl saw her.. I don’t know how long she was there but she was calling ... and it was not easy getting her out... I can’t make this stuff up! CHICKENS BE CRAZY!

I have no words. That must have been crazy getting her down. You need video of that!
