Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

So I had the run open from about 10 AM till about 3:30 PM. I finally closed the gate at 3:30, since they weren’t coming out. I don’t know what’s going on with them. There’s been a little bit a breeze on and off and I can hear a chainsaw in the distance. I’m not sure what they’re afraid of today. I will open the gate again in a little bit and see if they come out.

Since daylight savings is tonight, they’re not gonna get to free range this coming week during the weekdays, so I really wanted them to be out a lot this weekend. Oh, well.

Everyone who comes over is charmed by Phyllis but they all say that Sydney is the best looking of my hens. That red comb and wattles with those wonderful black white stripes is the pinnacle of what people think chicken should look like.

Interesting! Sydney over Sansa! Don’t get me wrong, I love Barred Rocks, and they might even be my favorite breed. But the feathers on Golden Laced Wyandottes are spectacular! You could be right about the comb coming into play. I prefer the look of a single comb.

Chickens don’t believe in daylight savings time (actually I don’t either) sadly, facts are facts

There’s a song I’ve liked from the 80s but I’ve only recently seen the film clip. It’s got the backing singers dressed up as Barred Rocks! Or are they Silver-laced Wyandottes?

Barred Rocks for sure! Love it!

Neither do I.

Not Wyandottes. They have a pea comb.

The legs are barred. The rest.....breed: Wacky Bird.

(Somebody isn’t going to like this post)
I found a way to make my chooks behave. If one gets out of line, I bring her inside, and play one, (the same song) (by ENYA) continuously, until she submits to authority!

Absolutely!

Oops I just realized I wrote "can't" I meant can! Lol

The Cluckle Hut is Painted

A color was chosen and painting undertaken. The outside was completed today. Inside the run will be another day. The roof of the nest box will be white like the Big Coop.

The inspectors kept coming by to make sure Mrs BY Bob was performing up to their standards.
