Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Physically sitting, not nesting sitting.

Aaahhh, gotcha! Yes, cute then!

Here’s the little stinker! Who got back in her nest twice today... but apparently did not make the jump this time! I think she is jumping to the roof of the coop then jumping down in their yard... this time the net caught her!! Good thing the girl saw her.. I don’t know how long she was there but she was calling ... and it was not easy getting her out... I can’t make this stuff up! CHICKENS BE CRAZY!

Hope you are feeling more positive now Bob; sounds like Mrs BYBob is a wise lady.

I am currently on p986 of 1114 - I am catching up with you all! Just read about poor Elphie

I had two calls with the CDC last week that made me feel better about what I was doing. Still going 10 to 12 hours a day. I am on top of things right now but there are 2 projects floating around that if they land to soon they could swamp me.

Mrs BY Bob has wisdom beyond her years and keeps me aligned. I could not do what I do without her.

It was hard to tell Elphie's story but she deserved to have it told and I'm really good I did it now in hindsight.

Love this Bob.

I still have the book of Aesops's Fables my mum read to me 30 odd years ago and remember this one well. I'm going to peruse it for a chicken tale to share with you all...

That would be great! Please do.

I love fantasy too @Ribh - what are some of your favourites? I've read a fair bit of Tolkein, also really enjoyed Pullman's 'His Dark Materials', The Chronicles of King Ro;en's Kin bu Rowena Cory Daniells and have recently been getting into Anne McCaffrey's The Dragon Riders of Pern series.
My all time favourite fantasy writer is fellow Brit, Joe Abercrombie who write gritty, grimdark fantasy, full of morally ambiguous flawed characters.

I love Anne McCaffrey. I read all the Pern books. I also recommend The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I read that around the same time as the Pern books.

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

That picture of them on the swing is so precious. That is frame worthy. You should hang that up on a wall.

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.

Fat bird occupies a box for sure!

Oh no! I'm glad she didn't hurt herself trying to get out of that situation!!!
