Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lady Red]

Nope. She is up and out this morning. I thought maybe that as well and checked right away this morning. She is out causing trouble as usual.

Have a feeling you smiled as your typed out "trouble."
Glad she isn't giving any cause for concern.

Hey funk fan. If you're going to have a tune in your head that's better than most.

Definitely not a bad ear worm to be stuck with. If only I could rollerskate...somehow that seems appropriate to do whilst listening to that song.

Fat Bird. Each day now she seems steadier on her feet. There are a few moments of wobbliness when she first leaves the coop in the morning. I give her back a quick massage as I carry her to the food point by the ducks, set her down in front of the food with the rest and after that she seems close enough to normal to not riase concern unless you knew her well.
This is quite a difficult scramble for hens and humans alike unless you walk on the wing wall. I've watched Fat Bird negotiate the trickiest sections without problems.

Here she is with Moon and Hurry having a dig about.

Not sure if I have a soft spot for her simply due to her name or what...
Anyway, so glad she has you to tend her. And very glad she is becoming more steady.

It seems not. I think she may have been too late to roost. Maybe it was too dark in the coop the see enough to get up, or she could have been tossed off the roost in a roosting tussle after it was too dark to see and get back up.

Just get your birds some night vision goggles ? They seem to have everything else they need.

She’s Fat Bird! She’s a celebrity here on BYC. There should be a reality show about just her! Shad has a great lady there!

I've got to stop these terrible puns.

I had to have “The Talk” with Jaffar last night. He was eyeballing the barred rock pullets in the yard free ranging. I told him that they were too young just yet, and robbing the cradle, shouldn’t be the actions of a rooster as sophisticated as he is. I think he understood.
Emily is playing hard to get. (After all, she’s new to Jaffar) and probably thinks casual dating should come before the ..... “home run”?

It is certainly is! I really miss being right up against the mountains.

Here's a shot of Timp my dad sent me

Yep, that's about normal here. I've never understood why it happens. The more senior hens get an easier time of it.

So the roosters do not interfere then. Interesting. I would have expected them to defend any hatching lady. Propagation of the species and all.
