Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

By tomorrow they will be hopping in and out without a second thought!

It seems they became stronger and more sure of themselves between each video. Maybe even a little bigger?

Boarded Up

I boarded off the end of the porch to keep things under control for a couple of days. The black chick is lightning fast. I had trouble catching it tonight.

I think this will let the big ladies out and keep the chicks in until they are a little older. I will feel better that they are safe. I watched the black one fall off the porch trying to get down when it missed the ramp. I also watched Phyllis nearly step on them. I'd like to provide a little separation for everyone for a bit.

I know the third chick definitely did. But yes I agree. They seem way more sure of themselves.

Why did Sansa peck Sydney on the head at the waterer?!

Pecking order reminder I think. I was surprised by that as well.

I hope so.

Ok a little late here but catching up... things went sideways on the farm again and I missed the hatch but while I’m getting all caught up I have to comment on this one:

Shame on you Bob, allowing your chickens to smoke!

We have a smoking sheep here, thanks to my mum. He cozy's up to smokers and curls his lip at them like they do at ewes coming into heat lesson: don’t let smokers bottle feed lambs!

I'm ready to start smoking again!

No! There is not enough stress to even consider it Bob... just no!

This news has created a lot of excited flutter at the Chicken Palace

Cousins!

They will learn at an incredible rate. The more exposure they have to the other hens and their environment, the better adjusted they will become. They learn very fast to avoid the grumpier adults. As you've noticed, they're very quick. Chicks here are out with their mums, roaming around the land at two to three days old.

Hey Kris! I was thinking about you before, wondering how you are going.

I thought the porch was rather a long way! They went on such a huge adventure!

I'm relieved they got back in ok and that you were there to lend a hand.

I'm so glad Sansa was careful of the chicks. I was worried when I saw her.

Aurora came by for a minute to visit. It made me very nervous but all was good. The Aunties seem to be respecting the chickies so far.
