Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

It is a cold clear night as the wind howls and the moon rises.

Very evocative and poetic ByBob.

The most important thing is to help Roostie and keep all of you from any further injuries. Photos are just a bonus. And you could always do before and after shots with a "spoiler" for gross foot contents .

Edit:
" I will be sure to use spoilers if I do get any footage. "

You should wear a hat with SHRA on it.

definitely our new thread motto...

I used the ‘rooster finger’ on Bok tonight @BY Bob while saying ‘poker poker poker’ she moved over and let the little ones get on the roost with her instead of fending them off with weak lunging pecks

Yesterday was irrigation day here—the first in some time due to a scheduled pause over the holidays. The last few had also been at night. These chickens range from 5 to almost 10 months old, so the rush of water was an unwelcome surprise at first.

We made for higher ground

We were nervous and had to get a ride across the yard on the human

Nora panicked and forgot that a) she can’t really fly and b) that’s not a proper tree

But she promised me she meant to do that

Hazel was making no promises and had to be wheeled about

Oh goodness that is funny and adorable! Why do you flood the area? Just curious.

Oh goodness that is funny and adorable! Why do you flood the area? Just curious.

We are in the metropolitan Phoenix area, and it's very hot and dry here, so we're very lucky to have access to water at all. It's the only way things grow well. This neighborhood was once all orange groves, and so these homes still can access irrigation. It's well worth it, but something strange to get used to!

Chickens usually grow to love it, because it brings the bugs! It is a sort of feast day for foragers.
