Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

If you don't have fake eggs, put 1 or 2 of the eggs they've laid into a couple of the nest boxes and leave them for 24 hours. At this time of year, they might freeze but for just a day should be ok. Instinct says to lay eggs in safe places and where one lays another will follow as its likely a safe place.

Golf balls also work!

And of course someone post a hen who stole light bulbs and broodied them

Bear!
This was a project I was on a few years ago - I would go for a run down that road daily, and most days the guys would say 'did you see the bear in the ditch?'.... I never did and wouldn't believe them - until I saw it myself haha!

My camera in my truck - like my cracked windshield?!

Thank you. Blueberry is one of my dad's 2 personal hens as he puts it. She and Squirrel are not allowed to go anywhere. We can now say he has 3 personal hens. I planned the minute Ducky hatched to keep her if she was a pullet in October due to her blue coloring. Thankfully she is indeed a girl and is going to look just like her momma Blueberry. So much so that dad has taken notice of her in the last week and dared me to get rid of her she was his.

I love that you all have your favorites.

Hi kiddo!

Kelly, make no mistake. If this bird wants to be left alone, I leave her alone. She will bite to show me her lack of approval!

Crap, it is dark and thinking of Chiquita made me remember I did not open back up the coop. Lets go round up some angry chickens out of the horses stalls and put them where they belong.

Night comes early these days.

I think the egg smuggling thing is real. Several news outlets covered the story - here is the NPR link
