Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I've always wanted to go. They have cats everywhere too! It seems like my kind of place.

Maybe I should go there someday and visit with My hen?

I wonder if the leghorns there lay fewer eggs in a year. They must go broody in order to make more leghorns. I truly wonder how close to true Italian leghorns they might be. Maybe I should retire and go study them.

My boys are normally quite, most of the time. But when you refuse to walk in the snow, and limit yourself to the horses stalls, they get bored. Ok, mostly Branch got bored and crowed his fool head off. I solved that by bringing him in for tv time. Honestly I think he is a spoiled brat who wanted nothing to do with the snow. I cannot blame him, snuggle time on his warmed towel watching tv is far more entertaining.

Another house chicken!

I have been working outside all afternoon today. All the chickens were helping me weed out the yard. Lots of fun for all, but I sure missed Beetov-Hen not being out there with us. (I really miss her) View attachment 2966148

That is a lovely shot.

She really liked me. She was the last hen to sit on my legs. She may have terrorized Sydney and Phyllis but she was always sweet to me.

I would shy away from any pre-made coop like these. I started with one just like it. Can you help me to understand your situation, how you plan to keep your chickens, etc. Will they be able to free range or will they live their lives in the coop? That can help me to understand what may work best for you.

Broody Hattie

I always thought that my Hattie would want to be a mum. Orpingtons are supposed to go broody yet Hattie never has. I always figured that she would look something like this as she sleeps tonight in the nest box.
