Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Man, that truck is blocking that sign.
I think @featherhead007 can read it. He should know what it says.

Anyone want a very obnoxious little redheaded hen, who talks to you, cries and whines when she doesn’t get what she wants. Would always be in your face, and needs constant attention (and canned corn ) but little as she is, holds her ground against the bullies. She’s more chook than I can handle sometimes. She’s not a lap chicken but she’ll stand next to you and beg for treats. Sadly she’s got a smaller fluffy tail than most fluffy butts I have seen.

I’m kidding of course. I could never let my sweet Dakota go!

Gosh, this is scary, she sounds just like me. Except I wouldn't sit on your lap.
I'll have as many treats as you give me and still want more

That's better

Belated Caturday. Except he's too busy eating too pose.

But, he helped you - maybe not the way you wanted - but repurposing AND getting you what you needed was really nice - especially since he really didn't want Willow to hatch eggs in the first place. While you may not think it is perfect - at least TRY to be thankful he is helping - even if it isn't really what you wanted. Next time, instead of helping, he may shut down or just say .no' because you are 'ungrateful'. I know it is hard sometimes, but try to see it from his point of view - and accept that he isn't really into your chickens, nor wanting more. YET - he is making sure Willow has what she needs to hatch chicks.

For good or bad - the world runs on compromise.....he made a big step towards your wishes - can you make a little step towards him and say 'thank you'?

Nope - they are light blue on the inside. Green eggs have both blue and brown pigment - but the brown is on the outside only - the blue is mixed throughout the shell.

So green eggs and ham are...oops, green egg shells are blue on the inside & green on the outside.

That is so amazing

Prior to her trim, she didn't have Einstein or Christopher Lloyd hair

Ya I pretty much did a hack job! With a fancy tilt to the left but I noticed this morning she was out and about more. And running around more.

She is 8 weeks old now (along with Rico and Tippy).

ok well I am not going to do anything with them any time soon anyways, so I will just sit back and enjoy their antics

I am not opposed to a little rendezvous to swap eggs. Could be fun. First we need Phyllis to go broody though. She showing absolutely no interest in doing so. I worried I may have broke her with the lone chick that did not survive last year. She may no longer have any interest in being a mum.

I was wondering about Henny Penny also last year, then all of a sudden about August, she was hogging the preferred nest boxes causing mayhem! I plucked her up and put her in the crate where she stayed for a few weeks wanting babies

What really surprised me this year is Marty, she was looking like she would go broody then decided nope no way, when I showed up with the chicks! Where as Henny was interested in the chicks, Marty actively hunted them down hahahahaha.

Well if you do want to do a rendezvous let me know

Thanks, I will keep an eye on her. She is definitely more pink than the others, but they are all different breeds.

Like me I guess we need to sit back, enjoy their antics and keep our fingers crossed
