Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

How lovely. My in~laws used to get drongos bathing in their pool.

Are drongos related to drop bears?

I'm so glad I have something happy to post.
My sweet girl Chickadee is a mama hen again

Nope. Spangled Drongo. Distinctive forked tail, red eyes & iridescent black feathering.

Very pretty. They don’t look like they would kill you either.

They're not overly social but they are real clowns & terrific mimics. We had one round that would go off like a car alarm every morning around 6!

I am still so amazed at your felting skill. You are so talented - you really should set up an Etsy store - I guarantee we all want some felted chickens!

I let you guys know if I set one up.

I feel super privileged. I own an ACM original.

Oh yes - I was just kidding - I couldn't figure out why they decided to nest there and I was speculating that maybe they wanted to move in with the Princesses.
I hope they survive the fox. I a also worried that there isn't much to eat in my swimming pool but if I put out feed it will attract the fox. This is so stressful!
How long do duck eggs take to hatch?

I'd really like to know that answer. Maybe about the same amount of time for chickens, I'd think a little longer.

I was woken up at 4am with the rain.
