Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I would think so, as long as she’s not too clumsy. Have to go check my broody beastie soon to see if those pips made it!

I sure hope they did.

I had not heard that. But isn’t it a bit early? I don’t normally get my flu shot until November!

It is very unusual for this to happened. It is the tail end of actual flu season. You can still expect another different strain late this year.

My 2fer isn’t working today. The funds in my wallet sure don’t match the prices on this sign!

Come on! I learned my good ones from @BY Bob !

Oh so the two of you are in collusion

Hmmm, no purple corn on that seat, either!

Again, she ate it all! If anyone doesn't believe that purple corn is preferred, these pictures are good proof. It's crazy. Aurora flicks the yellow corn out of my hand and onto the ground.

HAWK! All the ladies ran towards Jaffar and back in the coop. The hawk just flew over, circled and then left the area. (Red tail hawk) . Close call

How a broody chicken normally gets hand fed: gently, calmly…

Vs how Goldie eats from a hand while Broody, assuming she’s not trying to take actual chunks out of the hand and is settling for her third handful of pellets. The frenzy and biting has calmed down enough by this point that I could video with the non target hand. Apparently I can’t count and we have a total of three chicks one yellow one chipmunk and the other is still wet. Thankfully the rotting egg smell has left so I’m hoping it was just the two bad eggs I tossed last night.

I love that you had to remind her by poking her.

Hello Everyone! Apologies for the long absence. I got logged out and never found the time to log in until now. School is out, but I still have many projects for the summer, but I'll try to catch up.

You are all probably aware of the avian flu. For protection, my four have been staying in the "funplex".

And recently we had movie night. We watched chicken little.

I hope everyone is doing alright. I'll catch up soon.

Hooray! Blazinga is back!

I love seeing your ladies again!

I don't like hawks.
