Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Rough Day at Work

Everyone, odds are very long that any ask aurora will be posted today. I am dealing with a crisis at work that is into its 3rd day.

Sending good work vibes

Let them have a Turkey drumstick… running around like the little velociraptors they are

I actually did give them a turkey leg. I saw it more like us eating a chimpanzee...close, but not quite the same. LOL.

It’s very late, but I have to talk with Jaffar about everything that will happen soon. He doesn’t seem to mind, and he is very interested in what I am saying to him. (And his waddles are being rubbed)

I need help with a moral dilemma. Do you feed your chickens, well...chicken? I gave them some rice that had tiny amounts of chicken in it the other day... but it was largely rice. But tonight I cooked a large chicken and there is a significant amount of skin and fat and other waste.

I'm like...we can't put it in with the veggie scraps! My husband, much more practical than I, pointed out that eating your own species is a human taboo and that to animals, meat is meat.

I'm I wrong to be kinda weirded out?

I am a bit weirded out by it, and since getting chickens find I eat less chicken myself, but the chickens don’t care!
So yes, give them the chicken and maybe don’t watch because they are enthusiastic little cannibals!

Please Kelly, understand this and don’t take it the wrong way…

Hey what did I do?!
How is Hen-Rietta's foot BTW? meant to ask yesterday...

You should still try - he had 10 days to comply. It is too bad - that one looks pretty happy/healthy.

I know I was up all night, but not sure I have room in my truck for 6 chickens! I will see after I eat breakfast what I can find out... these things take planning, I don't think I can fit them in the box of the truck under my tonneau cover either...

I would have to come home through Canada - up over the dreaded lakes with risk of snow storms.

Hmmmm - chicken math at work...

Well now that is a dilemma! I can tell you this: My gang loves roast chicken, mash potatoes, and gravy with all the veggies.

In fact one day I was mobbed by them and they managed to get my lunch

Why? what will be happening. Good morning Jaffar!

Alex - you need a goat to help mow your lawn!

No SHRA - the rest of us were stumped!
I am off out to have a serious nutrition conversation with my Princesses. Yours eat broccoli? Amazing!

Our chickens are like picky children

Dear Aurora,
I know your scribe is busy on other duties, but maybe you could give this your attention when you get a chance. My hooman explained that the scribe was unavailable because of a thing called ‘werk’. I wasn’t really listening, but she explained it was something to do with being able to keep you all supplied with meal worms, so it sounded important.
Anyway, the topic I want to raise with you is very important to me and I believe also to the chicken world in general.
Before I explain more, let me remind you about myself. I am a small chicken and definitely not the leader of the pack. I am fine with that and I spend most of my time on my two main passions which are cultivating my beard and whiskers, and EATING. I should say I also enjoy flying but that is not really a hobby, it is just who I am (and no, I don’t expect I will grow out of it as RC hopes).
It is about my second passion that I am writing and a dilemma I have concerning BROCCOLI.
My hooman says it is good for me ‘that’ll put hair on your chest feathers on your beard’. In general I trust her menu recommendations - I particularly like the dried up cat food (made from venison she says), and the sunflower seeds she hides under her jacket are simply the best things on earth - but in this case I am not so sure. Bernadette, who is the boss hen here, says not to touch it.
I mean I quite like how it looks and smells. I even think I remember it from childhood. But if Bernie says no, does that mean I can’t even try it?
This is really messing with my head. I mean food is my thing. What am I to do here?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Yours, perpetually in search of a snack,
Eli

Bolt needs to say something! Aroura, don't kill Bolt! Haha, Eli is so cute! I need to steal her!!


Eli, nice to meet you! My annoying human talk about you all the time. I love broccoli. It is awesome. I say go for it, but when Aurora answers, she will tell you. This is just my opinion. Have a good day, Eli.

I sent the News person an email asking about them.... you are an enabler
