Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I LOVE liver and onions. I am surprised Jaffar didn’t want any.

He’s still mad at me!

He’s still mad at me!

(He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s gonna be spending the night with me tonight.) and he’s going to eat some liver, if he likes it or not! He’s molting too. All my chooks are looking scruffy lately

I laid the trimmings from the briskets back on top of the briskets and the ribs to help keep everything juicy

Jaffar ate lots of liver. He drank his water and then laying down, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. (Darn it, I wanted to watch a movie with him)

Next time I think of going to Las Vegas, I’ll just send @BY Bob the $500 bucks and he can go to Atlantic City instead!!

Or you can send it to me so I can go to the WinStar in Oklahoma! Haven’t been there for several years.

I love that shirt! And your relationship with your chickens is too cute!

Thanks!

I have that same shirt. My sister in law got it for me at tractor supply. I love it.

That’s where I got mine. The my had a few other cute ones I wanted too but they didn’t have them in a large enough size.


My husband doesn’t like having his pic posted online, but this was too cute not to share so I covered up his face. He went in to feed the girls a little scratch and they wouldn’t even let him sit down first.

Yesterday i got a small pumpkin for the ladies, put it in the oven, and forgot about it. Its perfectly roasted, smelled amazing, opps. Set it outside when i left for work and it was untouched when i got home. I peeled a bunch of skin away and sprinkled it with seeds and still wouldn't touch it. Oh well the possums will probably enjoy it.

Rosie has hurt her foot i think. She was holding it up and limp/hopping tonight i wrapped her up and made her soak it for a bit. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Going into their 13th week - update

Things have settled down here since the two boys went to their new home. We spent about 2 hours with them today and I really got to see them interact. Minor pullet scuffles of course but they seem like they are becoming a nice cohesive little flock of 11.

Oreo, the Roo, is living it up crowing loud and proud every morning and the girls gather around him whenever he lays down and they mostly keep him within eye sight when out during supervised free range time. They all seem happy with him (so far).

While we were outside today a hawk sounded off, it was in the distance and I never saw it. I have never seen my crew move so fast! They all bolted from every direction, hop-flying, and skidding sideways into the run and dashed inside the coop. They stayed there for a good 10 minutes before they slowly emerged again. Good instincts developing that I was thrilled to witness!

It's good to see them react appropriately to danger. It helps you to be able to trust them. I'm glad they did that for you.

I apologized to Diana for calling her a pig. @bgmathteach is right, that was very rude of me. However, there is no denying that for a chicken with such a skinny butt she is a very dedicated foodie.
Here she is in SloMo demonstrating her corn on cob technique.
Her second and fourth lunges are particularly impressive!

I was mesmerized by her magnificent comb.

I like this idea. I could have a really nice meal for $500.

My sister saw the video's of chickens carving pumpkins. Messaged me saying Monday she is dropping off a pumpkin. I plan on sending her a picture Friday of the ignored pumpkin so she can call them ungrateful brats.

Pumpkin update!
