Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I was out in the yard with the chooks, when Coco came up to me and said “daddy, can I go to Canada?”
I’m not sure what that’s all about, but has Mr. P been on BeakBook lately?
Thinking to myself (why Canada and why now? ) something has surely ruffled Coco’s tail feathers!

I would fly her up there, but I am trying to save money for her college tuition.

Be careful. She might pull a Abigail on you, take the money, and fly herself up there.
In case you forgot, Abigail took my money and bought me a PineTime.

Passed a house on a bike ride today that has chickens of different breeds and various goats, so I always look to see what’s up. Noticed their chickens were hanging by the fence wall in their big run. Some days they’re in and some days out, today in. Then I spotted a lone one walking around outside. A pretty white leghorn, with that jaunty tail! Hmm, the run door is closed…how? Right then another white leghorn in the run took off straight up. And up, and up, and up! It was like watching a heron take off, such big wings! Up to the very top of this really high wood-framed fence wall, where it perched. No problem at all for those flyers! It was a joy to see them in action.

Awesome! That must have been amazing

My Azurs are not so much about flying as bing nosey…

Now the chicks they are all about flying - 6’ is no problem at all! In fact I was eying the top of the screen door in the barn with the open top where I allow the barn swallows to fly in, and wonder why they haven’t escaped through there yet.

Will fix that tomorrow now that I have tempted the fates!

How about googly eyes on Fluffy

My neighbour’s magnolia always blooms twice a year - mine never has.

This is the third bloom for mine this year. Crazy.

I just told Coco of my intentions to bet against Kelly, I have never seen a chicken laugh so hard! Even my chooks know of PonyPoor’s reputation.

That's like betting on if @Ribh Has a broody hen or not.

Oh, good, it wasn't MY eyes this time,

It was mine.

Today I finished up the roosting ledge and new nest boxes in HH-B, the Azurs checked it out and tried out the nest boxes.

Tomorrow morning I will get out here extra early and make sure the lay in the nest boxes and not on the loose hay on the floor. Hopefully after a couple days they will feel good about the nest boxes.
