Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

What? And Phyllis didn't order poolside service?

Of course she tried to. But she only has a gate guy who didn't understand her cocktail order. Her bucket boy is in Spain and she is still hiring for the cabana boy! Poor Phyllis. Life is tough.

Tackle is the one closest to my leg and the hen I recently stopped from sitting and hatching.
That little monster eying Tackle up is Mel. Mel is in effect Tribe 1's boss. Fat Bird doesn't get involved in the tribe politics these days but nobody bothers her including Mel.
Tackle is a very gentle hen and all but Moon are a bit on the rough side for her. I have to make sure Tackle gets her share and as in this case, keep Mel from bullying her.

Brown leghorn's name is Beetov-Hen. (because she's talented)

Oh, right! I remember her name now.

Hard to forget her, she's famous world wide. (makes me kinda proud)

Aww darn! Good help is so hard to find these days!

So, if Bob doesn’t mind I will give everyone a little Barney update over here... here he is eating some soggy Honey Nut Cheerios this morning, remains of our dollar store emergency “feed” (it was literally these or fruit loops! I also gave the boys a full package of soaked plain rice crackers that day, it was the best way I could get them hydrated). On a side note, I also got two full minutes of rooster butt video while he was eating by mistake...

and for his beak progres @Aussie-Chookmum :

And his weird Spurs (his Brothers are completely normal) I kind of like how not-stabby they are with the amount of lap time he’s been having lately!

And the black stuff in the second pic is poop and grass on his back toe, please excuse it. My mornings are just so glamorous here! Yes, I took it off for him when I noticed .

I did not know beaks grow back. Does beak grow at the same rate as claws?

Beaks don't really grow back. Some beak injuries will repair themselves but it depends on the type and placement.

I’ve been meaning to ask @featherhead007 ; does Jaffar sleep on a roost in your bedroom or does he have a little box with bedding in it?

 

[BY Bob]

It's an almost impossible task Bob. Me and another guy have been struggling with it on and off for months. If it's properly secure, they can't come and go at will.

I am understanding that more and more.

I saw a lovely speckled sussex hen with only her bottom beak in a chicken sale. I felt so sorry for her but I didn't buy her because I thought she was going to die. If I could turn back time, I'd take her home with me and feed her wet mash five times a day. Not very practical for when work asks me to travel.
