Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I have spent many a long day out “Chickensitting” for lack of a better word.

Oh I like Chickensitting - it makes it sound way more productive than it felt as I napped in the chicken run.

The grey hen I've named Cloud. She's a Marans/Legbar/unknown cross.View attachment 2865952View attachment 2865953View attachment 2865954View attachment 2865955

Hi there Cloud. Congratulations on your new name.

I fell asleep several times in the barn/coop (kinda comfortable in there)

It’s not the egg that counts, but the spirit of The hen that laid it! (Yes you can quote me)

That is so profound.

I mentioned on this thread somewhere that once I had left Spain and the tribes behind what I would like is to look after Ex Batts. After the years I've spent trying to take care of chickens, I've got to the point where I can accept they will die, probably very quickly, and although I will come to love them, I now have the strength to let them go.
I've never owned my own chickens, I've never bought or sold a live creature.
These poor Ex Batts need help and helping them helps me in some strange way.
I don't think I can ever explain it well.

I totally get it.

That is absolutely correct! Lots of watery equals water poos.

I think I learned that from you Bob!

In the case that anyone wanted to be Phyllis for Halloween.

That is so profound.

I have my moments!

My Beautiful Beethov-Hen is in trouble. She’s got an egg inside and wants it out. I’m here with her now, massaging her fluffy everything. She tried to lay in the coop, but couldn’t. What ever it takes, I’m not losing my best hen!!

I’m doing my best chicken daddy that I can right now. I’m keeping her close.
