Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Master Jaffar is a Bantam partridge Cochin GQ. Rooster

It's hard to imagine a rooster sleeping with a human. Just goes to show that they're not all furious crowing things with sharp claws.

Nurses in the back, are thinking ” how long is she gonna last on that table. Our last one was 20 minutes “. Evil radiologists!

Yea I didnt realize there was a nurse to the right of me not to far and I got really bad gas LOL. "let er rip"

@bgmathteach in regards to the tractor for our Guineas

Thank you. I'll take any modifications under advisement for when I build my next broody hut!!!

I am going to make a door either on the end or side so it will be easier to get them back inside. The top is great but I'll use longer roofing and an extra piece for a little overhang on all sides. I do love being able to quickly move it when the weather changes suddenly or they need a fresh patch of grass. I'll also permanently attach the corner blocks on the handle end. Goldie's coop will be nicer but I am pleased with this one for the guinea fowl.

I'm guessing you have to walk backwards when pulling it, yes?

Yes or you can push it forwards. For tires and axle i went to tractor supply. 2.5 x 8 inch solid wheels. These come with bearings installed. A 5/8 all thread rod as an axle is a perfect fit to these tires. I used a 3/4 wood bit for boring the holes in the frame for the axles. These may not be the cheapest option but was readily available and I have limited patience when I want to finish a project.

Not until 05:15 then the spurs come out and the crowing starts. (I’m hungry, and I want my meally worms right now!)

I'd like to respond here but I feel I'm just short of enough information. Can you elaborate?

If you look at this picture, Foxy's head has a bald area. I believe this is due to other hens grabbing the head feather when mounting on her.

@RoyalChick 's Babs has exactly the same thing going on due to Bernie's dominance behavior.

I believe it is nothing serious at the moment.

Does he actually sleep in your house?
I hate waking up early.
