Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

I have 15 chickens 10 ducks and 6
5 month old turkeys. I love them all and have tons of videos of them.
I like showing them off. Im proud of my flocking friends.
I'm happy you enjoyed the video.

So wonderful! I can’t wait for more! (You’ll find I like to post videos, too.)

Cluckle Hut Update

It is essentially done. I need to sand the bottom hinged board as I installed it upside down and there is glue on it that is preventing the top door and the hinged board from meeting smoothly. Aside from that it is ready for chickens!

Here is the completed nest box. View attachment 2783579

Here is the opened door and hinged board.

Here is the front porch and door. This door is temporary until the new automated door arrives. I have the hinged board up in this one.

I could not help myself. I put fresh straw into the nest box for Phyllis and the babies.

Here is a short video about my turkeys being put outside. This was 3 months ago. There are some chickens in the background. It's amazing how much they have changed.

I love your gentle, calm way with your birds. They seem very relaxed around you.

Oh my gosh, I absolutely love this video. I did not know turkeys make such sweet sounds! And Chicken Lady is precious!

Thank you.
I put that video up on the turkey thread yesterday and didn't get one comment or reaction so I took it down.. I guess it's what I deserve for not falling in line but I don't care anymore. I found a much better place to chat and show off my turkeys and chickens.

Is it really hard to raise chickens in such a harsh environment like California. I fill sorry for all the cows I see munching on all the brown grass..
