Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

My little Ayam Cemani, in different lights. My new project is to try taming down the chicks that don't come to me on their own.

And, I received angry lazer peeps from the chicks when closing up...I do not control the weather.

Welcome to BYC and especially to Fluffy Butt Acres chat thread.

We would love to see some of your chickens if you have any pictures of them.

She sounds like she is laughing! The first time I heard her doing that egg song it freaked me out! I thought someone was killing her!

Inset YouTube Richie Cavinagh spelled wrong I’m sure, but the song is “Chicken Talk “

She sounds like Nellie...before she lays an egg...

Thanks now that song is stuck on my head! Marginally better then ‘catch a falling star’…. My mum has this Alexa thing which she has on all day playing all sorts of music - lots of 50s and Newfoundland music.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket…..

Me and my shadow……

I have enough in my pocket! (Just saying)

Birds are in bed, the jacuzzi is warming up……. Life is good!

Welcome to BYC and this thread! How many chickens do you have? Are you into the big fluffy ones or the small comical ones?

That's funny. I said she's laughing when I was sharing the video with DH. She is adorable.

Buckeye Popcorn (bottom hen at the time) was somewhat of a terror to the Buff Orps when they were littlle but quickly got them in line and was actually quite restrained. I have my doubts about Diane, but of course the holes in my hands have me biased. Maybe she’ll be their best friend

I mean this gently but... Diane sounds psychotic like a brain or injury pain?! We had a problem of a large bully hen attacking a small Silkie any chance she got. Before learning about the CBD we rehomed her cuz she was ok w/ people... just not other hens. Diane is beyond average aggression if she is causing injury. I'd wear goggles myself just in case she decided to go for the eyes. Chickens can jump high & fast to attack. I've even seen two normally gentle Silkies jump 4 ft in the air at each other when in a broody mood!

Two normally sweet Silkies who jumped in the air at each other seen here toodling around in better moods 2013 - 2014
