Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I think of it slightly differently. Chickens 'in the wild' live and die and get injured and get eaten. And that is what it is. However, once any one of us takes on responsibility for an animal we have some level of duty of care. Yours are semi-wild so you duty of care is very different from mine because I introduced chickens into my yard knowing that with all the foxes and raccoons they wouldn't last a minute on their own. So I build a coop and a run (aka Chicken Palace) so I can protect them. Does that make sense to anyone?

That makes perfect sense and I agree totally. That is how i view things. I have taken responsibility for them. They are domesticated. Their chance of survival on their own is now limited because of the role I have accepted. I am honor bound to do all I can to keep them safe now.

I would vote for the one on the left. It just looks way more intelligent for some reason.

Beautiful eggs! And you have nice, big nests. Our poor girls have puny nests because we didn’t know any better ehen we first built the coop.

Thank you!

We're should start a nominating committee. Vote Poultry!

Look at how beautiful my eggs are when dyed... way better than white eggs dyed! Notice how some of the same colored eggs are slightly different shades.. because the eggs were different colors...
