Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Thanks for covering my chicken tax! Data reset is on the 26th we went a little overboard watching a cartoon series called “Trollhunters”

My youngest loves "Trollhunters". They introduced me to it. Blinky is voiced by Kelsie Grammer ❤

Will you be watching "3 Below" afterwards? We haven't finished yet.

Not a very good quality picture because of all the glare but I love Diana’s outline and the brilliant red of her comb.
this is about an hour after she was eating the mouse this morning and felt the need for a second breakfast!

I think it's a lovely photo RC, including the lens flare. It adds atmosphere.
It is beautifully composed. You could submit it to photo of the week.

I did. I never win things, but why not?! She is pretty and people can enjoy her for a few clicks. Thanks for suggesting.

Well, it was another semi late return to the trailer tonight... curse those sheep needing fed and my mother’s strange affection for them! However, I’m happy to report that at 5:10pm, as it was nearly full dark out, I had a full 40 chickens in the trailer coop! Sure there were about 10 roosted inappropriately on the sink, stove, and counter, but they were all in the trailer where they belonged! And none on the range hood today, I still don’t know how she managed to get up there and perch on the slanted metal, she must be part fur chicken (cat). I relocated the randomly roosted birds, tied everything up for the night and went to close the rest in.

By now it is full dark. I moved Roostie and the hospital tractor/temporary snow fence run earlier today, and true to form Tailless jumped the fence (she has decided that she belongs with the meat birds 3x her size, and I have given up arguing the point with her). Also situation fairly normal, she couldn’t find her way back in! I didn’t see her on my approach to the run, but after closing them in and as I turned to go check the back door to the coop area, because she often sleeps under/in a pile of larger birds obscuring her from sight, I heard the frantic cooing as she ran along the fenceline looking to get in. At least she had the sense to run towards the headlamp, and she didn’t even protest too much as I picked her up and put her back in with her flock.

Now all I need is for the Cows to wander off so I can feed and release the chickens in a normal fashion tomorrow morning. I’m not holding my breath on that one though! All in all, it was a good night with peaceful roosting and I even got 6 eggs, from my 78 female chickens!

I'm so glad. They learned very quickly! Well done!

Yes, that is some weather, Bob! It hailed here recently and the babies had no idea what to do. All ten adults ran straight to the run gate, but the babies panicked until I rescued them. I carried two with the third following close behind. I’m glad yours all knew what to do!

I feel like I get the same video every year of the first snow. Off to the coop they go. Lilly is old hat at it now. She stood on the porch for a while watching it snow.

Did you see Phyllis get blown over in the one video? She is partially obscured by the pinwheel. You can see her wing flap out as the wind tries to knock her over.

I want to visit a chicken salon where I sit still with a happy heart for at least 30 minutes while a chicken adjusts my hair

"I gave you a 2 touch then I rested, pooped, drank some waters. Then I gave you a foldover and a tuckunder. That'll be one handful of meal worms plz."

Thank you so much chicken hairdresser. I've never felt more beautiful.

I love it. Chicken salons would be fabulous.

I was perplexed the first time she did it. "Is she pecking my hair"! The second time I was ready with the phone. It was very sweet.

It was her first day of having stitches. She was very cranky.

Sounds like she is back to her old self though.
