Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

They were stray chickens in the neighborhood!!

Sorry, someone set them free! The found the right place to live for sure.

Thank you! I try my best.

Violet decided my shoulder was better last night. She sat on my shoulder for about 15 minutes singing a soft little trill in my ear.

If I could ship you some @Ribh I would, in a heartbeat!

She looks very happy up there. You look rather pleased about it too.

I know you would. Just the thought warms the cockles of my heart.

Table Stakes

Well maybe Ned did learn something from his mum. We were enjoying an afternoon snack of fruit and hummus when Sydney decided to join us by flying up on the table.

I love this one, I wish she hadn't moved so quickly.

So I decided a photo session was in order.

Just lost the tip of her beak or this would have been a great shot.

This just evokes her dinosaur heritage.

What happens when you flip your camera over while trying to shoot straight up, well these.

I was, quite!

I know! That is what I am terrified about.
One suggestion I got was to lock one of the cats in the Palace overnight. It is not a terrible idea except I haven't introduced the cats to the chickens yet so that feels like a big step, and of course the cat will be scared and will sit and yowl for me all night which I probably couldn't handle. So then maybe the cat and I stay in the coop at night - which sounds weird but might also not be a terrible idea. Maybe I move a comfy chair inside so I can nap. Wouldn't have to be all night maybe.
I am going to keep trying traps for a bit longer.

Gotta say, loving the idea of a chicken camp out! I'll probably do that one day 🏕
