Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

I have. It's hysterical. Thanks for the hint.

Love that one. Here is the Covid version from early on in the pandemic.
Apologies in advance, I am not trying to upset anyone or start a big debate - I just think it is quite clever and well executed.

Roosting after dark....when he's sleepy

I can’t. You get too close, he’ll jump out.

The Results Are In

Forget about that silly ground hog who is never right. Pennsylvania Phyllis has made her prediction. What does she say? See Below.

Spoiler: Early Spring or Long Winter

Pennsylvania Phyllis emerged from her coop and does NOT see her shadow. Only 4 more weeks of winter.

I know this is a blast from the past but it is something I am quite interested in so I will share an article on it.

He's a bugger isn't he.

He's a bugger isn't he.

Yeah. He was VERY a scared of us in the beginning. He’s allowing us to get closer to him, but still not pick him up

It takes time for sure. Patience and not threatening him to build trust.

I can do alto and a bit of soprano if I stretch it.

Contralto here. Karen Carpenter was one of my faves. Wish I had her pipes.

A while back when I was without power for 5 days I mentioned how the live wire had turned the dirt to glass.
@BY Bob I think you said you were interested in seeing it. Of course I forgot but was in that area just now ‘cos another branch came down so I took some pics.
A bit difficult to show properly but I took some shots of the whole scorched area and some close-ups of the edges of the hole that the wire punched through the dirt and then I broke off some of the glass bits. Here goes (sorry if boring and not chicken related):

Wow@RoyalChick That is pretty cool - scary, but also very cool.

My two broody silkies are lovingly sharing that golf ball still haha. Wonder what the chick will look like?

Where are you located to get snow through mid March? I too am guaranteed snow, through mid April, and have seen snow on the ground in May, and wet snow in June

Montana. 9 months of winter, 5 months of road construction, possibility of snow every month of the year, 2018 actually saw snow somewhere in the state all 12 months. Have seen snow on July 4, and the fist weekend of August. We get the stuff sliding down the Rockies from the arctic circle and the stuff swinging up from Utah....and everywhere inbetween. got up this morming to -9F (@-20C)....and Jessica is still glued to her eggs, although showing signs of wanting to get off for a short time. I have some small bales (Wal-Mart harvest decor clearance) that I'm going to add to nest boxes. Was holding for broody time.....
GIRL, IT'S TOO DANG COLD FOR THIS YET!!!
