Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

It can be difficult to tell who is the most senior hen. I watch them eat. The top hen here gets first dibs on the food. Some senior hens are more tolerant of transgressions than others. It's not so much the treats that give it away. If you been fair in the past those that expect a bit get a bit. Pullets for example and cockerels definitely don't expect to get treats while the seniors are there. It's the regular feed. This may not work very well for you if you have feed available all the time. Because I feed and and pick up once they've all eaten, I see enough feeding to work it out.

That's why I use the treats to tell. There is always feed available to them. Ironically, I did just watch Aurora push Lilly out of the wag over a handful of mealy worms I was hand feeding them. Of course, as you said, Lilly knew I would make sure she got some.

As good as can be expected. There is no guarantee she will respond this time, but I want to try.

Are you going for an implant anyway?

My house is beyond the point of no return. I feel like Alice feeding her head...or maybe you are too young for Jefferson Airplane...?

Love the reference. I'm going to go slip the vinyl onto the turntable. My wife will live coming home to that!

Can you write with that thing? Its pointy!

 

[BY Bob]

Indeed it would. She's also a very good artist but not, I don't think, a particularly nice person. She doesn't keep chickens.

That is something to hold against her!

 

[BY Bob]

Because you're a West Side Story fan perhaps.

Maybe. Could be red leather and a Michael Jackson video as well. Same end result.

I understand. We will all be pulling for her you can ccount on that.

I still listen to them. I've got Wrecking Ball by Grace Slick which isn't bad. The Baron Von Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun is worth listening to.
