Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

I don’t know about that.... perhaps if there were eggs to hatch then yes, definitely!

Physically sitting, not nesting sitting.

I’ve got Pullman’s ‘Dark Materials’ trilogy, I re-read them fairly recently. It was recommended to me when I was living in the UK.

It took me a week to read "Johnathan Livingston Seagull".

Here are two of the broodies in banishment... and there is Cutie the white one.. she managed the same thing as yesterday... I found her in the nest box again after putting her out this morning.. have NO idea!! But I put her back out in the yard and she hasn’t done it again... I was watching her with camera ready for a good forty five minutes but nothing! Not sure if banishment is working.. it’s the perfect setup so long as it doesn’t rain... I can keep them out here all day... they were out all day yesterday but as soon as I put them up for the night they all went straight back to their nests!! ....View attachment 2134647View attachment 2134648

Hey look, more fluffy butts!

I agree. I particularly like when they all sit around together in the sun and have a good natter. The Princesses do that when the sun is out and it is one of my favorite things to be around them then.

Don't you worry. Phyllis and I will figure this out. It was shocking but she is a good girl. We will reach an agreement. I certainly will be more vigilant. That will be a start.

Ivy has given up hopping the fence. I think she just wanted to know a little more about the world but nowadays she content to remain in the yard.

I've posted pictures of two or more chickens in the house nest box before.
It's a big box!
Doesn't look too bad from this angle.

Is that the one you call Fat Girl? She's a beauty!

I haven’t read that. Any relation to Jon Pigeon? (A very rude pigeon on Twitter).

You might like it Lozzy, it's about a young seagull's view of himself.

This is one of my favourite pictures of Lucy and Penny. After they had finished foraging, they just came and hung out with me. Chickie is just in the photo under the slide, on the left, but she wasn’t sitting. Then they all had a preening session.

I do believe that is indeed Fat Bird.
