Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

A Normal Coop Day

Did you all know that I have other chickens from the Polish? It is 18°F and breezy out today. So the big ladies are hanging out and having a coop day. The coop is being warmed by the sun so this is a good decision. Here they are Hanging with Mr Coop (er).

But I still don’t know how Bob fits inside of that coop, to visit with those ladies?

Sun? Are you not in the middle of this storm?

Nope. We just got a light coating of snow. What's happening there?

No rush! I am sure we would all love to hear about him.

Ok, so it’s not very long, but here it Is. At least, he tried his best.

So, about 3 years ago, we woke up. Normal day, nothing odd. We had breakfast, and so forth. Well, we were about to get on with our day, when we noticed Roosty outside. We locked the coop, so there was no way he could be outside. So, obviously, we went out to see what happened, only to find 3 big dogs in him. 3 hungry dogs. He literally fought all 3. He survived, no injuries. Sadly, that couldn’t be said for the chickens, as all of them, except 2, died. We even had a broody. Anyways, I’m glad he protected his flock. At least, he tried. Come around last year, this German shepherd- Labrador mix, or whatever it was, broke in our backyard. Roosty, was still alive, and he went into “danger mode”. He sounded the “alarm”. Good thing the chickens were locked up. That dog almost killed our goat . Anyways, I realize this story was more in dog attack as then him. An extra bonus story: There was a little mouse in “his” coop, and he killed it . That’s good, it’s just pretty ironic how he thought it was a big danger. Technically, it could have been, we dint know if it had a disease or not. But I’m glad he killed the mouse

Roosty, Black Copper Maran. Or a Copper Maran of some sort.

What an incredible creature

I love hero rooster stories. Sounds like he was a great one.

Bad dog owners stink. There are way too many tragic stories of dogs run amuck.

There is just a little bit of fresh stuff on top of everything that was already here.

We don't have snow but it's been grey and damp, now winter sunshine is coming through

Here’s the closest I get to having a “Roostie”. this one is named “Rusty Roostie” the guy who gave it to me, named it that! It’s the only rooster, I’m allowed to have in church.

Maybe I’m going to the wrong church?
Maybe I should find a more chicken friendly church?
