Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I just had a thought Bob. What do you think about putting a length of wood or lattice under the Cluckle Hut at that cantilevered end nearest the camera? Make it shorter than the length of the coop on both ends so the chooks can chase each other around it without getting trapped in a corner?

Like this:

...but without the deadly weapon.

Edit for clarity: make a short wall from the ground right up to the base of the Cluckle hut so they can't jump over.

Interesting idea but how would I collect someone from the other side of it if I needed to do so. I would have no access.

Betty is wondering why her new house is not the same shape as her old house. She keeps going to that corner and wondering why it's blocked off.

Phyllis is befuddled by Betty's confusion.

It could also be that Betty saw the other chickens there and wants to check out their area, could it not?

I appreciate the tagging. Hopefully BYC works out this current tagging issue. Has anyone let them know?

Has anyone gotten any alerts? If not I'm going to report it this morning.

I got the location right! (pats self on the back)

Excellent job! Sylvie and Legertha both tried roosting there.

I know some of you want to be tagged so you don't have to read through all the chit chat but can find out the main activities at FBA, what I am unclear on is why tagging is better than watching the thread?
I watch without e-mail and just scan the notifications bell and dive in when something is interesting - eg when @BY Bob posts.
Well, for FBA I actually follow everything, but that is what I do for a number of other threads and it works out fine.
Am I missing something? Feels like that might just be an easier approach.

Yep that's what I do as I follow what different people are posting on Bob's site. And I also go to the end and work backwards to see if anything posted for let's say Bob's new Chickie

Is it just me, or is a bunch of tax due for all the Italian food commentary? Here’s some tax just for me commenting on the commentary. Lol!

All that green!

What is it with Barred Rocks and the foot in the air in pictures? I have so many picture of Sydney doing that!

Must be a lovely spot for them.

I remember it being nice , but you don’t get any cutlery. You use your fingers to rip up the bready/pancakey thing under the food and scoop it up. It was an experience!

I have never heard of that before. I may need to take that opportunity if it ever comes up.

She’s got oral thrush and it was suggested that probiotics would help it clear up sooner.

Every part of an organisms digestive system has its own flora/fauna and enzyme to aid in digestion. I sure hope this wee little lady feels better soon you are a good Chickie mama.
