Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

Would you take more rescues Lozzy?

I would, if one/some materialised and needed a home, but I won't go and buy any more ex-battery hens (unless the place was being shut down and the options were farm out or death). The place I got Lucy, Emily, Penny and Chickie from has been shut down due to animal cruelty.

Looking at this it looks as if Sansa is looking out for the others. Great clip.
The tribes here explode out their coops in the morning.

Mine usually explode out as well. Aurora sure did. For some reason Hattie and Lilly took their time today.

You did a wonderful thing taking them in. They are very lucky.

Thank you! They do like their free-ranging. Charlie had a few choice words for me on Tuesday, voicing her disgust on not being let out, but she's pulled her head in.

I don’t see Elizabeth. Maybe she is in laying an egg.

So is there a "preffered" camera model? ie reliable, easy to setup and (drum roll please!) Chicken proof ? I had problems with the Roo's breaking the auto fill water cups. I see how usefull they are at allowing one to observe "true" flock dynamics . Thanks

That's amazing. Until now I didn't really know that hens stand up to lay an egg.

LOL - It's funny I had a hen get so excited about treats she laid one 'on the run' in the run

I believe that @RoyalChick and I are both using Arlo wireless battery powered security cameras, right RoyalChick?

Floor Sleeping

This was Sansa's choice tonight. No one was pecking her. She just got down and slept on the floor. She had been sleeping on the floor in the prefab as well.

I decided not to interfere.

What happens when you stand out in the rain and have fancy feathers.

Of course. Phyllis

And then, Aurora
