Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Bum cleaning detail stand by.

I have a few who need it. Hopefully tomorrow when I can tend to them early in the day and it’s sunny out!

I love my Princesses. They are so good!
This morning the nest box I thought needed fixing was the one they all chose to lay in. So that saved me one little job as it clearly didn’t need fixing after all!
Tonight I didn’t have to stand by the roost and snap my fingers - they all went up the ladder on their own.
And, Maggie figured if she went to bed first she would get her favorite spot which she did. And to cap it all Maggie also learned how to fly up to the roost directly so I may not need a second ladder (though I might make one anyway).
I think I can say the new coop is now home - so tomorrow I will let them out into the runs again and see if they find their way home in the evening.
Today was cold and windy and seemed to be full of endless chores so I didn’t get time to do pictures for the Chicken Palace tour. Maybe tomorrow.View attachment 2038643

We got our new girls!! And guess what Bob? We saw blue eggs! Didn’t have my phone on me though.

Same! I would have loved to be an avian vet!

I don’t think I could ever have been a vet; I would have been too sad having to put the animals down.

We ended up getting two salmon Faverolles and a red.

My wife says I spend more time on the chicken coop than the house!

I definitely do.
