Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

Who would like to see what evil looks like?
I don't mean some grand design, magnificent biblical type evil. I mean petty, spitefull, pathetic evil.

As some of you know, not all is well in the apparent paradise in Catalonia. Covid hasn't helped. Some people who were already on the edge do not have the mental strengh to keep from tipping. The chickens have become an issue during the last year, as have all the animals. The noise, the mess, the monotany if you are not fundamentally fond of animals is wearing. The chickens in particular have become a flash point, mainly because nobody else can do a thing with them. The whole story is rather sad, especially for the chickens. I won't dwell on the details. One person in the main house hates me and therfore the chickens. There isn't much one can do about me. I'm not an easy target. The chickens on the other hand are.
After an unpleasant exchange with this particular person, I left to get some feed for the animals.
This is what I found when I came back.View attachment 2440126
This place has been for the entire time I've been here a favourite shelter spot for Tribe 2 and 3.
This is what it looked like before the Troll cut it down.

This is a picture of Knock with her kids making use of the shelter the hedge row gave when she last hatched.

I am so, so sorry. How spiteful! I'm sure we all wish we could be by your side just now & offer our support.

Do baby chicks play? Do adult chickens, for that matter?

That’s a great question, and I’m not sure of the answer. Maybe I’ll know once I finish the book!

Most of you have seen the picture of Fat Bird and Ruffles in this bush. It's a favourite spot for Tribe 1.
I was just in time to remove the shears from the person resonsible for the damage in the picture above befor they cut any more.

I do not understand some people. Why destroy so much beauty?

Gasp! I can’t imagine how you must feel. My heart is racing, face is turning red and I am sweating just taking this in. What is WRONG with people???

Tribe 1 were upset by the whole business and headed for the safety of my house where they huddled in the corner. They know evil when they feel it.

They know your house is a safe space. This is a wonderful photo, even if it is the result of some d***h*** being spiteful.

No, Alice is not heading out to the club. The feather's on her head are being pecked at so I'm trying to discourage that. Looking fetching is just an added bonus!

I just love this! She does look like she's heading out. I immediately checked for some piercings in weird places.

 

[BY Bob]

She is absolutely gorgeous!

They are so marvelous looking. I would love to have them in my flock.

Congratulations!!

As my heart stopped racing I remembered of course that nature will get its own back. The inevitable result of cutting it back that hard is that it will come back stronger and thicker in the spring. I feel better knowing that.

Just hateful. My humans can be so disappointing. I'm sorry for you and the flock Shad. They just made their lives more dangerous so that can get even over something. Or just have their way. Hateful person.
