Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Shadrach]

I'm going to tell Bob off now.
I've watched many of your videos Bob and I think they are wonderful. They have rather given you away on the indulgence front though.
This is what I feed, as an example, 20 chickens for late night treat. They may get to share a walnut between three, or four during the day.
It contains; Tuna, rice, chopped peanuts, tomato, chopped mixed leaf salad, sunflower seeds, a small piece of mixed grain bread chopped, a few oats.

I bet they love that, Shad!

It gets them out of the trees.

Free Ranging is Over

I noted over on @Ribh thread that it was supposed to snow today. Well, free ranging is now over.

Looks like a regular chicken feast. I bet they love it.

Mine are definately spoiled. Any hen is lucky to live at Fluffy Butt Acres. I make no apologies.

Something is Wrong with Hattie

Listen to her voice in this video. She normally has a high squeaky voice. She is eating, drinking, and only sounds like this when talking.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Is she just talking? I know chooks have a lot of different vocalisations, have you heard her do this before when being “chatty”?

 

[Ribh]

Some of mine sometimes sound deep & throaty like this. It's rather a cute sound.

You can tell how Daisy, the greatest hen ever, changed my focus towards chickens.

Hmmm...not from this story. Guess I do need to read this thread from the beginning.

What Elphie would teach Daisy over the next few months and the way in which they were fascinated with us would make us chicken people forever.

Sounds like Elphie is the one who changed your focus on chickens. But, why is it tragic? Sounds like she had a great life. What happened to her?
