Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Kris slowly and quietly steps away from the soapbox... because everyone here has already heard her opinion on this at least once!

Yes. We have but I'm not certain we disagree.

Phyllis on the High Wire

I guess I just can't scare her off. Phyllis was back to visit me as I sat outside in between rain showers for about 10 minutes.

This time she reprised her high wire act in front of the Rose of Sharon bush.

Yesterday I entered Aurora in the fall photo contest. Today I thought I would enter one or two of Phyllis. Which does everyone like best?

I love them all - but I think if I have to pick it would be #2

Never mind: just needed a reset:
Here is a sign (required reading) View attachment 2407528

I need at least two of these signs, one for each gate leading into the areas I will be free ranging! I keep threatening to loose Chickie Hawk to deal with our trespasser/hiker/dog issues.

Ugliest coop contest? I win!!View attachment 2407627

Just you wait... lol!

Sorry. I've seen worse.

it won’t be as bad as the “stuff them under the deck coop” you rescued your girls from, I promise, but I basically just dragged an eyesore out from the forest edge and planted it front and center near the driveway! Between my island friend who has three trailers for his birds, my abode, and now this temporary housing I’m thinking I should change my business name from “Kristen’s Pastured Poultry” to “Kristen and Wayne’s Trailer Park Chickens”

I love "Trailer Park Chickens" that is awesome!

Lilly is Hurt Again

The rain let up and my adventuresome hens sprinted over to the deck to beg some snacks. I quickly responded and Sansa, Aurora, Sydney, and Phyllis started to enjoy some meal worms. I assumed that Hattie and Lilly were just being scaredie cats so I called them. Hattie came a running and flapping. No response from Lilly. I called again and Lilly emerged from the coop limping.

I ran to get my coat and by the time I had my coat, she was at the porch. Here she is taking a couple of steps.

I put some meal worms under the table for her and went back to finish my slice of pizza for lunch. I told Mrs BY Bob about it and that I would bring her in for a check up once I had eaten my pizza. Before I was done eating it started to pour again and the flock returned to the coop, including Lilly. She is under the coop right now and I am not going to force her out to check her leg. I will just wait until later and I will coax her out into the run. I hope I don't need to crate her up for a couple of days but it looks like it is really bothering her.

Yeah, she does look like she's in some pain...poor girl!

I bet she landed wrong jumping down from the roost. Hopefully she'll feel better with rest.
