Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

And I've been trying to wait around for the perfect shot. I think I'll have to change my style.

Good luck. Mine are always messing up my pictures

Do you want to stay with the theme? Whoopi, Roseanne, Lucille.

Not so much individual names, although we may need help there you never know, but as a group. Since the idea is they will all be hanging together, we are thinking they will need a group name. Like "The Pierogi Posse".

We still need coop names as well.......

Sounds like my spouse

That there is funny! Well done!

I'm surprised they adventured as far as they did! All is well that ends well...but he definitely needs to be more observant and careful. We are not on a quiet, rural property, we are on a busy little thoroughfare.

They will go as far as they can. Just like a dog that gets out. Especially if there is something they wish to eat.

Really?!?! So awesome! Can you share details on them? Brand?

Would there be a rechargeable or battery zapper I wonder

Ear lobe colour?! Oh my, I’ve been studying Belle’s earlobes a bit the past week, I’m going to start checking them out for real! Didn’t even realise this was really a thing

I've written this before.

To guide my determined little scamps in I use an old tent window that's in the shape of a large wing. That and my cat has helped enormously.

Mine were headed for the road once and my cat jumped out in fount of them turning back up my steps away from the road. He led them through 2 gates and up to my back garden steps.

Could he have been a shepherd in his last life, I wonder

What an amazing cat. That's great. Do they run from it or just walk away from the cat? I'm trying to picture this hearding behavior.

Hmmmm I'm looking at Sansa.

Careful, you may be wrong. This needs investigating

ALEX where are you

I’m thinking of buying one of these with the little tax money I’m getting, opinions? My feeder is outside the coop most times, thought it would help when it rains (so I don’t have to shift it into the cubby where they kick shavings into it, because the feed wouldn’t get damp) and maybe the wild birds may take 2 days to work it out (but will the girls work it out?) It is clear on that side in the pic to show how it works I believe, and yes, it is a proper seller this time an Aussie company so trying to support ‘local’

it seems a long way to have to stick their head in? My only apprehension...
Tell me your thoughts, chook brain trust

It does seem like a long way to stick their heads in to reach the feed. Other than that I've seen other set ups that seem similar so it probably works. I think it would be easy for a hen to be startled while using it.
