Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

I can do that.
We are 7 years into the chicken experience and until this summer only Mal had ever gone under it. I thought if it was cooler they could hang out there but if they are going to lay, you are right.

Maybe only partially block it off to arms reach? That way they can still get under but you can still reach eggs.

Gorgeous fluffy butt! All my girls got a butt bath yesterday; hubby held them whilst I squirted their rear ends with warm water, rubbed in some puppy and kitten shampoo and rinsed it all out. That way I removed the risk of them being fly-blown, without having to fully immerse them.

Good idea Lozzy. I must do fluffy butt inspection soon. Fluffy Butts must be presentable by Friday!

Nest Building

She is serious about this.

I fancy I'm in with a shout here on my prediction she would be next to go broody.

Up to you, Shad. I know you've got one. If you'd like to model it for the rest of us, well, feel free...

I've got a few.

I'm pretty sure it is coolest by the house foundation where the sun never shines. I need to find these eggs.

That is not an aged hen then. No help there.

Lucky is gorgeous!

I just love her feathers. That Ned is a show off though. His antics steal the show from her calm beauty every time. It's tough living in your brother's shadow. I was zooming in on her too. She is also going to be a big girl.
