Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I do. They weren’t scared this morning or after work, however.

I'm starting to think random dog that is getting loose but not every day.

Most wildlife predators are more reliable. They have circuits they do somewhat regularly.

I hope to catch up tonight.
Last night was an over 10-hour day without a break followed by helping my daughter with a project. Tonight the chickens ran around for a bit after work. Ester is still not laying, is slowing down, and might not be eating much. I’m so bummed. Anyway, tomorrow is 7:30am to 6:30pm. Thursday is board meeting that goes until whenever. It’s hard to care for my flock when we have a ridiculous number of meetings.

Edited to add: Sorry about the pout! LOL!

Oh goodness! Looks like a rough molt!

Does anyone else with pre-laying pullets go down paranoid rabbit holes of reading about hackle feathers or is it just me...?

It’s just you. KIDDING!!! Yes, of course I do that!

Apologies if this is excessive. We're going to put an opening wall on this side.
