Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Rooster Ribh!

Not the first time! Unlikely to be the last.

I'm headed to Winnipeg today and thought about swinging by @Kris5902 place to help with the house. She's in Canada. How far could it be?

Then after you’ve done that, you can swing by my place and help me with some gardening.

File This Under: It was Bound to Happen

Lilly wants to know what Aurora is up to when she comes in the house. Hattie is curious but not that curious!

It's a very rewarding job. I like when I get to be Rooster Bob. I feel useful to them.

Right down the road a piece.

I just get a buzz from being trusted to understand what they are asking & sort it out for them. The 1st lot are in the nesting boxes. I don't have that many laying just now so it won't be onerous.

That thin end of the wedge seems to be getting thicker.

"Are you spying on me Bucket Boy?"

I had to fez up. I was spying on her. She was about to lay her first egg. She's been all over the place looking for somewhere to do it. Obviously didn't find anywhere suitable.

I could, If I had the time to take it down. It is kind of like flying without a parachute at that point. No going back so to say. I did that with Jabberwocky and Hattie and they refused to roost in the Big Coop so catching them was required for 2 nights until they did. Maybe I will try it again. This is where the observation and art of the integration comes in.

Oh I see! I agree it's definitely best to let them decide for themselves than introduce stress, and if the prefab can encourage that outcome, it's all for the better.

My wife let her in the other day, closed the door, and walked away.

I came by and had to ask how long she had been in the house! My wife did not know! 5 or 10 minutes. "I forgot she was there. She's very quiet "



How many meal worms did she eat!
