Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Nope. Put her on, shut the roof, then I hear this ‘thud’ as she jumps down. I tried again and she panicked, so I left her. I’ve got a friend who makes her roosts out of branches as they’re round and more claw-friendly.

She may decide to go up there by herself. Maybe put a couple of meal worms up there to encourage her?

I love this photo! On her way to a sex pistols gig.

For some reason seeing that photo made "Do the hokey pockey" run through my head

Good call! You put your left ear in, you put your left ear out...

Pretty girl! She looks like my Lucy.

All the chookies I've ever seen are very pretty

They have specific likes. She will eventually go up on her own. They do like branches so that might help. I like how you mounted it. It is in their nature to roost for their own safety so they should recognize the opportunity at some point.

Mr. Bunny

Looks like Mr. Bunny is all grown now. He still likes hanging around the ladies. They are much more tolerant of him now.

Look how well Mr. Bunny blends in now! I almost didn't see him there!

More Sounds of the Season

It is so quiet this morning you can hear the interstate highway a few miles away. Listen to the rustle of those leaves. Fall is here.

Hey everyone, I had the idea that we should find our funniest photos of our chooks and share them. I’d like to offer up one of my favourite pictures of Chickie, who decided that as she is a bird, she should be in a tree. She got in there by herself, turned around and hopped out again. I tried getting a video but only got a few seconds. It’s also a fluffy butt photo!

This one has struck me as a goofy moment. Back when Maleficent was broody she decided to take on both #1 and #2 in the pecking order for some reason. She swelled up like a turkey and would not let them by. They could have easily just walked around her instead here the 3 of them were, beak to beak, no one willing to blink.

It always reminds me of Gandalf vs the Balrog. "You shall not pass!" Except anyone could have simply walked around.

Aww he's very cute and so good at camouflage! Thank you for the arrow or I'd not have seen him.
