Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

I may have asked this before but I can't tremendously. Where does the name Tsuki come from? I just love the name (and obviously the hen)

My youngest tends to name the hens. They are quick to think of a name and have been learning Japanese for several years now.

Tsuki is Moon in Japanese and was named for her colour, like the full moon.

There are not going to be any pictures from me for a while. I'm surrounded by bits of computer linked together in an impossible mess.I need some bits which I have but are in the UK. I've also got a complete small form PC which I'm getting sent over as well as the bits. It's going to be a week at least I imagine.
A major computer fail is a disaster for me. I've had both PCs die in the last couple of weeks.
I don't have a land line, r a mobile. The pigeons here don't seen the slightest bit interested in flying anywhere useful and the park wardens start having heart attacks if I light bonefires and try to send smoke signals I could try writting letters to you all I suppose given how you all like a good read.....

You are certainly a Renaissance man Shad.

With all those different methods of communication under consideration, I'm sure you won't be out of contact with us for long. I expect you will be whipping those pigeons into shape in no time. I will start looking for mine next week.... 🕊

I am definitely looking for something to read so if you just want to mail some pages of your book........

I volunteer for proof reading and editing too!

Here is the meaty thing that I had showed yall before... it is broken apart... this was from a blue layer so it’s not from a specific hen... I am thinking it may be in the largest eggs...

Ugh. Bring a good book. That always involves a lot of waiting.

When I was called for jury duty there was a fellow there who was using the time to practice his bag pipes. True story!

When I die, I'm going to raise an army of the dead and eliminate all politicians from the face of the earth! I'll probably do all the lawyers etc while I'm at it.

So... you are studying Necromancy, planning on becoming a Lich and leading an undead army?

Sounds like a decent plan

Who's Laying? Mystery Solved!

I swear sometimes I forget I have cameras in the coop. I've been wondering who is laying the very few eggs I am getting. So today I finally turned on the coop cameras and armed them so they would record whenever someone entered the coop. I successfully identified who laid today. I also picked up some other interesting video along the way.

Our first egg laying occurred at 8:05 am this morning.

It took her 1 hour 15 minutes to lay her egg. On the way out she grabbed some of Hatties feathers and tried to add them to the nest.

Next up would be this young lady.

Isn't it odd how she is walking? I wonder why?

She started on the nest at 12:58 pm. At 1:27 I open the screen door on the deck. Check out Sydney's reaction.

After snacking on the deck with everyone else, Sydney returned to the nest and after 1 hour 25 minutes laid her egg.

Those were today's eggs, here are some other interesting videos.

Phyllis came into the coop to fix her head feathers.

Hattie knocking Phyllis off the roost. It takes 2 videos and you miss the fall.

Hattie has not been rooster for most of the summer but she is bad at it. You can see her use her step to get up on the roost and then she needs to get past Phyllis to get to her favorite spot. So Phyllis must get down.

Phyllis must move out of the way and get back up. So she showed Hattie how to get on the roost without a step.

I love it. Very pretty and it clearly suits her.

You could have tossed a gratuitous photo in there you know.

It could work. I mean really, it could.
