Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Shadrach]

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I find it interesting that my chickens like to cross the road in the shade of this tree.

Of course, depending on the time of day, the shadow it casts is in a different spot on the road… Here it is right now…

Most of the chickens were visiting across the easement at my neighbors house, and then crossed back over cautiously in the shadow of the tree to come home.

Except for Bridge. Bridge seemed to suddenly realize she was alone, and then called me. she doesn’t call as loudly as she used to, but here is me reacting to her call. Watch her behavior…

@Shadrach, what do you make of it?

I'll need to plug in another computer to have a listen. I'll check it out later.

Btw @micstrachan
You know those lovely pictures you post of your hens relaxing on your legs or lap and me saying it doesn't happen to me? Well, yesterday I was sitting on the roof of the duck house, it's low, and Fat Bird was up there on her own avoiding the unwanted attention for the cockerel Tyle and Tribe 3 who had wandered up there.
When Tyle arrived all full of himself Fat Bird jumped onto the roof and walked over and sat on my lap. This is the first time ever she's dome this. If I pick pick her up she'll stay on my lap but get on it by herself...no way.

BRs AND Wyandottes. You are very blessed.

Good luck. I am going with the garage option.

I need to edit the temperature, 25° here tonight. If it was 12°, they would be coming in for sure.

It is really bouncing around this winter. I've been lucky with no snow since I got the pullets. It actually snowed South of us yesterday but we managed to avoid it.

Fingers crossed that I can get these flocks integrated without any severe weather intervening and forcing things.

So sitting with you is better than dealing with Tyle. Another nugget about your place in her pecking order.

So you tell me.
