Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

I have too, gently, on a feather sticking positively sideways out from a thigh, but found nope, it's definitely attached, and they didn't like me touching it!

Hey, it was gentle, Alex! And only once or twice in my time with chickens, and I learned!

Pulling on your chicken’s feathers is no way to make friends!

@ChicoryBlue I hope the rubber bits work out well! And Hazel is gorgeous!

Here was the bedtime situation, Kasumi is a nestbox sleeper. Shep told me off for opening the box and taking a picture.View attachment 3689501
My sister in law said she's bringing veggie scraps just for them! Even chickens get Thanksgiving!

Oh womp womp, that’s a shame about the nest box sleeping. At least the pine needles were free!

It's more gentle than running a brush through snarled hair. And I talk to then all the time....when I'm bringing treats, opening the coop, collecting eggs, closing the coop, sitting with them, cleaning up Twirp and Whiskey, checking on them, doing head count, telling Cardhu (who's taken it into her head to be skittish around me and ran out as soon as I arrived to close the coop this evening) that I'm not going any where until she's inside and I can close the coop (she came in finally), refilling water, trimming shrubs and trees near the coop. I talk to Castor and Sherlock just as much.

I thought it was loose, I was not trying to pluck it!

Okay, you paid the grass tax, but you forgot to pay the gate tax! So “open the picture library!”

Dang, these tax collectors have been strict lately… and I swear this one was just complaining to his church about taxes… maybe I’ve gone crazy.

Haha, I think it’s awesome that we’ve all tugged on feathers. Whenever one of mine has a feather sticking up, I try to grab it, even if I know it’s hopeless! It is just so annoying, all perfect feathers, and then you have that ONE feather sticking up.

You say that now!

You are not the one who is crazy!
Lunatics unite!

Skiddish, you are 100 times the chickens size. They get frightened by that. (And feathers being pulled)
