Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Happy hen lover]

Thst is a very nice coop! Well done

Thank you Bob planned out redrawn 3 times! But perfect for our 5 girls. Cost 300.00 , plus wire and water system for winter.

Another Chilly Day

We had 2 deck visitors today.

While the others were stuck st the coop. Too scared to come all the way.

Later everyone decided to use the same square yard for free ranging. That's 6 hens in 1 square yard of grass at the same time!

Sounds like the mystery is solved. I'm glad it was that simple.

Yes, and thank you for your previous kind, calming words!

Who emptied their freshly filled feeder, surely not these guys. They were framed!

Karen is still living up to her name. I should refill the feeder at once!

Well, is that their feeder, or the dustbath bowl, or a special scratching bowl they are in? I can't tell!
Note - even today at 7 months our chickens love scratching on something that has an interesting feel, or a different sound, or something - maybe it's the slippery-ness but they LOVE scratching or moving things around on these types of things! Even just scratching on nothing was satisfying or interesting - a clear tarp, my barn boots, a plastic bin lid...

Everything except a pool cover!

That is funny. I guess they prefer each other to getting cold feet. That is a good thing!

I am starting to worry that this may never go away.

I may have to go and get some killer corn. What is the most effective? Purple?

Killer corn...

This is going last a while.
