Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Roosting question

For the last two nights I have been going out at 7pm to shut the pop door now that they can safely be in the run all day. Last night was the first night I saw them all roosted for the night as I went in to do a head count to ensure all was well. I noticed Peanut my Ameraucana with an attitude was all by herself, tonight same thing two groups and her all by herself.

In your guy’s opinion is this flock justice for her being a bit of a bully?
Or do you think its because she looks different with her beard then all the other birds?

I know there is nothing I can do to change the flock dynamics just curious what your guys thoughts are.

Over the years I have had chickens who just wanted to roost on their own for a few nights. No idea why!

Sounds like Er-e Er-e Oooooooo!

Are we talking about roos here or donkeys

Google translate is NOT helpful on the rooster sound. Even writing the character it comes out as whoa-whoa-whoa (oh, oh, oh is the character translation) which isn't helpful if you're familiar with pinyin (the Chinese phonetics, including tone marks)

Next to last :

Hahahahaha. Love the video. I think French sounds the best.

(The Chinese one is wrong .... @rural mouse is totally right.)

The Deck!

The Rascals finally made it onto the deck today. This is the longest it has ever taken for new pullets to get up onto the deck. They came up with Phyllis. Here they are enjoying some meal worms.

You will note that after having eaten some meal worms Lady Featherington went to the edge of the deck and stood sentinel while the others ate.

Thirsty Thursday

Really thirsty!

They had water here in the barn, but I guess it was too much effort for them to come into the barn for a drink, and the weather was too glorious.

Like a good little chicken slave I brought the water to them outside

So sad. Nasty disease.

Indeed.

They are Moss Eggers as is Powder who is mostly white with some black spots and they all have feathered legs. They should lay either mossy green eggs or coco brown eggs. They are heavy on the Maran in the mix that was used to create them and will be fairly large hens someday.

I will look forward to watching them grow up.
