Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

My apologies to everyone. My house is full of family right now. It is hard for me to find slone time to post much on the tribe.

Sansa's anitbiotic is up. Unfortunately I am seeing no change outside of the weight gain. Her feathers are as ratty as before. She will return to the vet in 2 weeks for more labs. Having handled her more in the last month than ever before in her entire life she still doesn't run from me on site as I was concerned. On cold nights her feet are very cold when I take her from the roost. She has no feathers to tuck around them. I think this might be the biggest concern moving forward as we enter the depth of winter. She seems to have enough fluff to keep her body warm down to below freezing as I have observed no shivering so far but her feet might be a problem.

No one is roosting with Phyllis, she still roosts alone. Roosting in the main coop seems calm. Aurora is still running this lot. I believe that Hattie has accepted her position for now. Hattie is still the most frightened (or cautious) of them all. She really does not like to leave the complex.

Thanks for the update Bob

Sometimes there's very little discussion about fluffy butt acres on the fluffy butt acres thread. I'm not sure I have the time or patience to keep reading all the posts in the hope I'll see something of your tribe, so I may reach out with a PM for an update every now and then.

Winter Arrives

It finally happened yesterday. This is what the chickens awoke to.

Sydney and Aurora responded by exploring the Cluckle Hut.

Phyllis responded to their intrusion by roosting in the main coop while Hattie laid down under the main coop while hanging out with Lilly and Sansa.

I love how they have so many different spaces now.

Dollar tree!! Get a cheap one for that. (Or promise Mrs. BY Bob that you'll replace with a nice one of her choosing

Nailing an empty cat food can to the broom handle works just as well.

But then the rest of us won’t see them.

Maybe I simply need to skim through and identify Bob's posts instead of reading everything.

Happy Christmas from the Greatest Hen Ever

Wonderful. She doesn't look fazed by the snow at all. Was it always this way with her?

I don't know, I think it's awesome how everyone supports everyone!

I skim through for anything of interest, esp Bob's entries

I finally got around to starting my chicken scrapbook! I was experimenting with my Cricut Joy machine that I got for my birthday. I think it turned out pretty well, except that it looks like "Our eadies".

I miss scrapbooking! You'll have to share some photos of how your chicken scrapbook turns out!
