Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yes, in the house. How else are they going to watch Animal Planet? Having a TV in the coop is just not a good idea! Not practical.

I do not understand this! But then people used to expose unwanted babies... I do not understand people.

I think for the most part, we have become a throw-away society, with just about everything being disposable.

What an impressive flyer!

So, you really do have a "Donk"!

I liked that movie "Crocodile Dundee 2" He had a "Donk" too!

After all that has happened, I could not say no or run her out of the house. At least I knew she was safe.

Next up a nest in the dining room for them to lay in!

That @Shadrach is a bad influence!

Head torches...I love them. My daughter bought me a new one a couple of years ago. It's a Petzl and it's been excellent.

Do tell. I love my headlamp, but I had to buy a second one since the first one crapped out after a few months. I’d like a good quality one. I seriously use mine almost every single day.

This Donk, daughter of Dink, granddaughter of Cheepy and mother of Knock. She's a pro tree hugger. I took her mother (Dink) out of a tree at dusk for a bit over five years. She would go into the coop if it was raining, snowing or very high winds and strangely, a couple of nights before she planned to sit.
You can divert Donk and she will go in. But, if you don't shut her in she has this habit of slipping back out while your getting the others to roost. I have never managed to catch or handle Donk during the day and she holds the record for longest and highest flight. She has launched herself from the edge of the sheep field bank and flown right over the main house and down to the donkey field, some 250 metres.

Wow!

Sigh... the indoor video makes me miss Margo and Bagheera. They were from my original al four and I lost BOTH last year. They were great cuddlers and liked to sneak into the house. I’ll try to find pics or video, if that’s cool with this great group!

It's cool with me. I'd like to see that.
