Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Grandma The Chicken]

Grandma is enjoying the fire on this Saturday (no Caturday Saturday photo). This is the last time I'll play "Pink Panther" on the TV because she could not stop crying over the loud music. And the TV wasn't even that loud. Plus, I like "Pink Panther" music.
Now she has to cry about a nearby train while sipping her water.

They sure grow fast don't they?


That would be Truly's ginormous stall. It even has one of those Sweeter Heaters in it for when they get 'bigger' than the brooder plate will allow - I think ahead (plotting really...)


Good show Tina - you are a clever girl!


Educational TV is always the best. Just don't let Jaffar string you along for more rehab and TLC - he is a smart one that one - always one step ahead of you

He just wants his waddles rubbed (that’s all)

I think it was because of all the changes I made in the Hen House and the nest boxes were all over the place. Now I have all the roosts as a shelf all on one level, and the nest boxes are all closer to the ground. Marty is back in her bottom nest box that she likes

My two doesn't like changes either. They play havoc when their run is cleared out

Hope to catch you tomorrow.

Say hello to Bob for me please. I keep missing him lately

That's Purrcules, Purr for short.

That is an amazing name!

I didn’t think that two eggs a day was even possible

When leghorns gone wrong they go wrong quickly. Hopefully this is the end and she is having one last spurt.

I have not had time to check on her other than food and water. I might take her out for some sunshine after I finish the yard work.

I'm sure she would love that.

I’m out for the day now. I tried pushing that mower through a salad bar (with dressing) even after several hours of rest , I’m still out of breath!

Sorry to hear that.
Just let them grow and call it a biodiversity meadow and you are done.

Introducing the current residents of Fluffy Butt Acres































































































































As you can see from the front of the coop, we currently have 4 residents. Patsy, Lilly, Hattie & Jabber.































































































































































































Patsy & Lilly have been here the longest and we ar enot really certain what kind of birds they are but they are likely Black Sex Links. Hattie and Jabber have just joined the flock this summer as they were chicks we got back in April. Here are their individual photos.































































































































Patsy































































She is our alpha hen and is extremely friendly. While not a big fan of being picked up she comes right up to you and will talk and visit.































































































































































































Lilly is currently #2 in the pecking order and intends to stay there. She has become our little enforcer and she defends the flock from such terrors as squirrels, rabbits, doves, and most importantly, ducks.

















































































































II'm getting 25 chicks next week. Been quite a few ive





getting















25 chicks























































More to come on our newbies.

Dakota is a brat! She wasn’t in the coop when it was time to close up. She was happily scratching around in the tall grass, way across the yard. I brought her inside. She attacked me when I started having my tacos, she took (stole) three bites of meat and some cheese. I literally had to go eat in the bathroom because she wanted more.

I pray it is a infection that can be treated for your girls. From my understanding of bird flu, it hits hard and fast. I was reading from onset of symptoms to a dead bird was 2 or 3 days, most often 2. I agree with not calling a vet right now. I'll be honest last year when it was bad and I was hearing of the state coming in and culling entire flocks and neighboring flocks I was plotting. I was thinking of places I could move my flock to and hide them out. I also had in my mind before anyone was allowed to touch my birds, they first had to catch momma hen. Without the use of nets. If they could catch that hen then I was thinking I would not put up a fight.

Both of those work for me Bob.

Hi Lozzy have a great weekend!
