Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Blazinga]

My order might be coming a little closer into view. Katydid was chasing Shirina around today in a similar fashion to how Shirina chases Platina. I feel I'll get a better idea once they're in their Perma home and Plati is back.

Did anyone here try this? Does it actually work?

@featherhead007 - just checking you are OK. I know you were having a tough time of it recently and have been missing you here. No pressure, just know we like to hear from you when you feel up to catching us up.

Oh I forgot to mention, before my sister tested positive Saturday morning I rehomed Henrietta's 6 babies. I found the perfect home for them as they not only went to a Facebook friend, but a family member who has stalked my chickens for a while now. We need to discuss Drummie's behavior. He is a sweetheart, and that is going to get him in trouble. Every dang time someone has came to pickup chicks its the same routine with him. He walks right up to these strangers and becomes a total ham and insists on chest rubs. This has left several stunned at just how friendly a rooster can be. It also leads to the next inevitable question, "is he available?" Nope he is not going anywhere, although this has led just about everyone who has only came for pullets to take a cockerel son of his in hopes to get another Drumstick. This also worries me though as I wonder if this "I love everybody" attitude puts him in danger of being stolen. Sometimes I feel like I need to put him under lock and key for his own good. I am happy to say though that all but one person has stayed in contact with me after purchasing chicks and everyone who has taken a Drumstick son has gotten back to me on how lovable those boys are becoming. It does make me proud that Drummie is passing on his temperament to his sons and creating more rooster loving people. We need more of them in this world.

Maybe you should write an article on rooster taming

You see this bird “Emily”? I can’t go outdoors anymore, without her pecking me on my bumm. She will run across the entire yard, just to peck my bumm No, I don’t keep corn or meally worms in my pocket. (So this situation, I do not understand)

Attach a metal seat let her peck it a time or 2. She'll stop.

He sounds adorable. That's the first time I've heard of a rooster with such a loving nature except for Jaffar, who sounds an amazing character

Travel Update

Surgery is Thursday. His father is a nurse and will come down for the surgery.

I will be headed home today to see my ladies.

I'm betting they will be so excited when you show up

@featherhead007

I'm worried too. I hope you are okay

Sleepy Legertha

Watch as Legertha fights off sleep as Sylvie grooms. Then I startle them by talking through the camera. Sylvie's headdress is pretty silly right now.

So sweet!
