Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Oh yes indeed. Nothing wrong with the hot wires - it is just that I need to remember to turn it on each night. The fox patrolled the coop for some part of the night but never tried to break in (I assume because of the hot wire).
Last night's score was Rodents 0 : RC 2. Not exactly shock and awe but not bad. And for the first time I did not see any live mice partying all night on camera. That is potentially a big development but I am not counting my chickens (if you see what I mean) because they could all have stayed in hiding because of the patrolling fox. So I am repeating shock and awe tonight.
The chickens are still turning their beaks up at rare mouse-steak. so the run is beginning to look a bit gruesome with little mouse bodies hanging around.

The fox would like those mice lying about. S/he can smell them likely. Mice are a main staple for fox.

No he won't. Challenges do happen. I don't know the flock well enough to come to any worthwhile conclusion except Lilly is boss.

You are so unpredictable.

But I actually have an under-the-deck chicken run/pen, and it doesn't stink. 8 X 10 foot space with only 3 chickens might be why it doesn't stink, though. I was worried about it when I set it up, but I've been very pleasantly surprised at how well everything has worked. That's not say that I'm really going to try to stuff a cow in the basement, though!

It is an iPhone but not a very new one. 7 maybe?

I cannot help you. I have never owned one.

OH NO! Rocks-Anne is starting her molt. Getting black and white striped feathers, everywhere. (Couldn’t she wait till it warmed up some)? Molting hits her hard every time.

I hate it when they molt hard. ☹

I’d like to send a massive shout-out to the lovely @MaryJanet for gifting me a premium feather membership! ❤

I’m taking advantage of this and changing my tagline. Hubby uses Twitter and posted a picture of me with a tagline that I really liked. I had to go hunting for it but when I found it, I realised that Bessie was in the photo!

I was given a pfm for doing my interview and thought Lozzy might like it. Sorry I don't have pfn to give everyone.

@Ribh did you get a pfm for your interview.?

That makes sense!
