Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

What about wind? We've got plenty. The chickens want out right now. They're going to have to wait.

SO much wind. My car could drive over a snowdrift.

Is it a cockerel? He is very cute or she is very cute! (Looks like a cockerel though...)

Yes a cockerel - he was very pretty, but there were many of them so they had to go...

I know, but it is hard. I want it gone and gone now. I really want it gone before the chicks start hatching. 21 days is this Monday. Realistically I could expect chicks as early as Saturday morning.

Can you put up 2 strands of electric around your coops for the night time security? They usually don't come around during the daytime if people are about.

I love electric fencing for predator control.

Where do you take piano lessons? I used to live in Ontario, but moved to Alberta. In Ontario there is a place called Royal Conservatory of Music. I took piano lessons there. When I moved to Alberta, I took music lessons over Zoom.
What I mean is that they have a level of grading where when you start, you are at something below Level 1. They test you, then you move on to Level 1. The exams aren't mandatory until Level 7. So my piano teacher moved me from 5 to 6 without the exam. But I need to do the exam before Level 7. The exam is THIS FRIDAY...

Good luck!

And I look forward to some Music Chicken Tax (sans neige)

Your getting there! My chickens hate the wind, but hate being in more, they just try not to go broad-side to the wind and get knocked over (esp those Silkies - toooooo hilarious those wee ladies!).

Hmmm... Did I post Robin already? I will post him anyway. (he was my firsthatched chick, Robin Silkie- hatched. )

The wind over here gets nasty sometimes. I like taking my drone out for a spin, but this wind is too much for it. It's calm, and then it comes all of a sudden. Like Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

I really want Silkies. How smart are they?
The wind almost blew Agathae over once. She is a Cream Legbar and the smallest chicken we have. @BY Bob should get one to satisfy his colored egg needs. They lay guaranteed blue eggs.

I think Glynda is a legbar she does lay blue eggs

Well as smart as any chicken, but they need their topknot trimmed so they can see. And they can't fly at all - mine thought they could, and would launch themselves off 5' high roosts

Not w i have a 30" shelf everyone roosts on.
