Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

Oh I am so glad Minnie is not the only one! If it isn't a one off thing I should be able to catch a recording and hopefully you can pick it out from the general noise that Maggie makes as she goes about her day.

Chickens are awesome! They're always doing something new

Well and she isn't even yet a hen - she is just on 13 weeks - but the crow combined with the donkey bray was really a bit much. Sine then all she has said is 'peep peep peep'.

Tackle gave a few crows one of the mornings she was incarcerated in the house. She hasn't given any since as far as I've heard. There is something to be learned there. I think that the hens here at least can crow at will. That is very interesting.

I’ve got chickens to feed and a yoga class to get ready for but, y’know...

Sydney was back on the nest this afternoon.

So I went and removed all the eggs, ceramic included, and I removed Sydney. She came to the house with the flock and had some mealy worms.

And then she went back to the empty nest to sit.

Why is she sitting on no eggs? It's just sad.

I was so worried they had driven you off. It is really good to see you again.

I guess it would take more than that to get rid of me ... and I would miss my friends here too much ❤

It makes me very happy for you to say that. I would really miss you.

So, I moved the itty bitty Brady Bunch out into the big coop.. in the “see no touch” section... I know it’s very early but I’m starting to wonder about Marcia ....View attachment 2314380View attachment 2314381View attachment 2314382View attachment 2314383

So, are thinking that Marcia is actually Greg?

I'm glad you understand the rules about not moving when a cat sits on you.

Well you can hardly blame her Bob. Last time she did that, fertile eggs magically appeared. Who is to say that it won't happen again?

I don't suppose you know anyone who is trying to hatch using an incubator? You could offer Sydney's services, kind of like a nanny.

I went to lock up the girls last night but Alice and Edwina were roosting outside on the dead Grevillea.

Someone was repelling all boarders.
