Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

hi, folks. Boy, those bucket misters sure are coming in handy today. It’s 92° in the sun and 84° down on the ground in the run.

It hit the low eighties here today for a spell. Not a chicken in sight. Most under their favorite cool bush.

He's getting there is Treacle. Both Tap and Moon spent most of the day with him.
That's Hurry heading into the house. Treacle tried it on with her and she's definitely Cillins hen. Interestingly Tap went for her even though she was trying to and did, get away from Treacle. Tap definitely thinks Treacle is her man. Treacle looked very surprised whe Tap launched herself at Hurry.

Such interesting dynamics!

Cashew is in full broody mode. I had to pull her out of the nest box panting. Three times. I dipped her legs in a cool bucket, and held her butt up to the fan mister. She’s not impressed. Now the coop door is closed and she sitting on an outside perch grooming her feathers.

When I approached, she became a screeching beach ball. Not the best day for this, considering the heat.

Poor Cashew. Broodiness is a pain when you can’t stick fertilised eggs under them.

Looks like a great coop! Poor Cashew.
