Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Hi friends,
Tonight is the babies’ first night sleeping outside. Sniff, sniff! It’s also the night I discovered our whole yard is infested with rats. Disgusting!

Such a sweet hen.

I love this photo, MJ! She was a wonderful hen!

How old is Tegan Lozzy? I should know but I don't.

We were told that the Faverolles were “about 12 months” in February, so that would make them about 19 months. Charlie will be 2 in November and Lucy will be about 4 1/2 next month.

I use a real bath towel. It's easier for them to grip compared to paper towels or newspaper. I then throw it away.

I keep chicken towels and wash them.

And she's only just started laying? Or was she on holiday?

First time up that high?

No, just surprising. She hasn't been up there in months. I'm always surprised when they change things up like that.

My coop!

I made the leap.

Tegan has started laying!!! Her eggs are small and white.

Woohoo! That is the best. Congrats!

River, Lucy and Tegan have laid today.

So fun, Bob. Looks like a beautiful place for a drive!

It was beautiful country. It will be even prettier in a few weeks when the leaves get going. The Alfa Club has a fall winery drive coming up next month that should be during peak leaf season. I am really looking forward to that now. If the weather is nice that car will be perfect for it.
