Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Shadrach]

Roost time with Tribe 3 is a pain in the arse atm.
Knock hates Myth and attacks her at the slightest provocation. Knock also knows the kids should go up a tree but has never been much of a tree climber herself. She tried to send the kids up tonight.
During the day she still spends time with the kids but when it comes to roosting she doesn't want them in with her, or at least expects them to go into the coop last.
What isn't helping is Donk loiters outside until the last minute hoping for a bedtime treat and of course, the kids won't now go in before her.
Anyway...
Knock and kids.

Two females and one male is my current thinking.

Roosting time can be so frustrating. I'm really feeling that now. Your pain is real. There are so many things "I Wish" they would do right now. Time and patience.

Tonight's Roosting

I was stuck at my desk today and did not get to go out before they started roosting. By the time I got out there, Lilly, Sydney, Sansa, and Phyllis were all roosted already. Phyllis was on the main roost, the other 2 on the High Roost. Lilly in her usual spot.

So I stayed out of it.

Hattie came in and pecked Phyllis butt a few times and then wandered around confused because she still can't find her step since I moved it. Finally she found it and hopped up on the roost.

Last the little T Rex came in. She pecked Phyllis in the butt a few times and then roosted. She kept trying to reach Sansa and Sydney but couldn't. And Hattie stood up ro reach Aurora but could not. So everyone settled in.

Much calmer than previous. We are getting there. Closer every day.
