Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ribh]

And you still claim to be unsure if you like them? They seem to have decided that you are OK!

Scared the living daylights out of me! Revenge of the Vorwerks!

In case anyone is wondering how the "Taming the Blueberry" is going. I think this picture says it all. My new little buddy, in under 2 days she's went from wild child to attention hog.

That's fantastic! Well done to you both.
She's such a pretty hen too.

Cute gazebo we made for the chickens last weekend. They seem to love it!

I love this! It is very picturesque. I'd like to make one for my girls.

Belle will still do it to me when the opportunity presents itself, if not shoulder then my knee. Won’t let me pat her of course but I take what I can get she’s always going to be my little baby out of the 2 girls.
(I always just hope her feet are clean and no cecal or poop is deposited on me in her perching time so far I have been fortunate )

It's just the little things we ask for.

Yes, although I wish I could have more than 2 (it is in my far future plans, bigger coop, add a few more) I can inspect feet as I get the ‘look’ before the flap up
First time she did itView attachment 2759139
Last time I caught it camera, she grew a lot but still gets up there View attachment 2759140

2 days ago I sat on a chair outside and they came up to inspect what I was doing and up she hopped onto my knee, I love it. Snow would almost put my back out if she tried it, my plump baby

Very sweet. I love it.

Thankfully my standard Wyandottes & BRs aren't interested.

I would welcome Hattie with open arms if she wanted to roost on me.

Sorry, I'll take a picture tomorrow. Maybe in the meantime does this make more sense? The litter box cover is attached so that it's top is against the wall of the run. It's a box on its side basically. The feeder sits on one of the sides, and the remaining sides act as a rain shelter.

Uh... I think I'm more confused now....

Helps a little. I'd still like a photo.

Me three!

it was pretty easy, we used cedar poles mostly with a few other branches on the roof.

Did Deana turn out to be ok?

Thanks for asking. She seems fine. Eating well. Running to me when I come outside. Soft crop and clean vent though I did clean off some crustiness on the fluffy butt.

How do you check the soles of their feet? I had a feel and they were soft and cool, no hot spots, but I couldn't figure out how to look at the base.

She is roosting on the perch tonight.

Deana tax

"Anything to eat in there?"

Do you know how much she weighs? Just curious
