Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

That has to be so frightening. I can only imagine how confused the chooks are. Will you start using the light now so they know it's day time?

No, Yesterday was better. It was darker than normal like an overcast day, but not as dark as the day before and not so orange.

Well, that's more than I can say for some of the words in this post.

I’m the worlds worst thumb typist and catch up on my phone (tiny print) in the early morning before work, so... yeah. LOL.

It's terrible what's going on there.

Yes, it’s pretty surreal. On another note, wow, that post of mine had some typos and extra, random words thrown in!

I was just outside when this lot first kicked off. Hurry and Tap had a scrap, starting in the nest box and ending up outside. Of course I didn't have my camera in my pocket.
Tap got driven off by Hurry and Moon who is Tap's sister carefullly wedged herself in beside Hurry without any fuss.
Meanwhile, Tap had gone and got Treacle and they came in together.
The pictures say the rest, but Tap launched herself at Moon.
in the second picture I think Treacle is looking up and thinking, 'this isn't going to end well.'

Looks like all three are in there? Tap looks like a clucking beach ball! Broody much?

Lovely! I don’t recall hearing much about Punch before?

Both young ladies are back up roosting on the top of the window. Sigh!

Silly girls!

I had to read this to my girl just so I could let her hear how COOL their names are! I just absolutely love your chickens names ❤

Same here! I hope to get better at naming mine over time.

Nice clean butts! Sooo glad it’s Friday! (says the person who had a board meeting until almost 11:00 last night and has s 7:45 meeting this morning.)

 

[micstrachan]

Such clean fluffy butts!

I noticed that, too! My first year of chickens, I had all clean butts. Now almost noone does, even though I think I’ve gotten the excess fat situation under control. Why is that?
