Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

“No he won’t! He’s not much, but he’s our rooster. And yes he’s all talk and no squawk!”

I've realized I butted on to this thread without so much as a by-your-leave or an introduction. Rude of me. Thought I'd introduce my tiny flock of mutt-chickens.

What a lovely flock. Very pretty but also so calm and well behaved. No pecking, no yelling! I feel they may need to do instructional videos for some of our other flocks!
Thank you for sharing them with us.

Tony, why did you do it? Why? Now you’re stuck in jail and I’m out of bail money !

Tony: I've been too fidgety. My brain works this way. Look! I don't know why I did this!
Also, I have avraj speling.

LOL Probably because there's only 4. I've not noticed any pecking order. Everyone seems to get along.

It was time for their midday bread snack. Actually I was late and Bubba let me know it by crowing at the back door. I took out the camera and got some pictures and video's of everyone. Here are the video's

Branch spotted the hawks that are nesting on the other side of my house. If they start flying towards the yard he has a different growl that sends the whole flock running for cover. As far as aerial predators go, he seems to be the one who spots them first.

Come back Chiquita, you missed a worm. One of the chicks ran back to eat it when I stopped filming.

Both momma's know the best place to rest is under the watchful eye's of uncle Dirt.

Houston, we may have a problem.

I told you all I noticed Goose had started plucking out her feathers on her chest. If she does not lay in the porch box today this will make 3 days without an egg from her. It seems I once again need to go on a find the Easter egg hunt and try and track down her nest. I'm secretly hoping she has just taken a 2 day break in-between eggs. Her brood patch though is halfway clean now so I seriously doubt it. I think the brat is trying to become my first official broody girl of the year. If she is thinking about going broody I have to track down that nest. She has not even been laying a month yet and while I would love Goose chicks eventually her eggs are still small.

Perhaps she has some co-conspirators? Been tucking other’s eggs up under her wing and spiriting them off while you’re not looking? at this rate you’re not going to be pulling those incubators out of the closet anytime soon!
