Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

In some ways I'm glad I'm not there. Sometimes violence is the answer.

I could use a few choice words. Very calmly. Very very calmly.

This picture - the light, her stance! Although her head feathers are just OUTSTANDING here, oh my, I am drawn to those pretty legs! Is she wearing little invisible high heels?

Fudge. She seems to be so much better now; eating well, upright posture, defending her corner. She's spending lots of time with Cillin and Fat Bird.

That is awesome news.

Oh no Shad, that is terrible. It actually brought tears to my eyes.
Please tell me they didn't harm any of the chickens.

I don’t believe they have the nerve to actively harm the birds... I know I wouldn’t. Even if I was capable of harming an innocent animal to get back at its owner, I wouldn’t mess with @Shadrach , as he said, Covid is pushing people closer to edges it’s best not to get too near. We are seeing this very visibly even on our little island “paradise” especially the community Facebook forum. I simply don’t think the Big House people would be willing to dirty their hands with it either, too much actual work. Cut down all the cover and let the Goshawks have a clear shot at the birds, sure.

That person needs to spend a moment thinking about a bulldozer coming through and unexpectedly destroying their house. They need to weep in their heart and then apologise to the tribes.

She is so photogenic it's scary. Possibly the only chicken I have had that seems to know how to pose.

@Shadrach is there some sort of fast growing vine that you could plant to provide some cover? Or perhaps cover it over with some fencing and weave something obnoxious looking through it. If only the chickens weren’t wont to peck at everything, I’d suggest ugly fake plants. If those are a cedar I think they may have been trimmed back hard enough to kill them. I’m thinking you could use some of our nasty feral rose hips being shipped out to you. Nice scent, not much for flowers, but all sorts of nasty thorny business. My chickens love them.

What an amazing photo! Incredible detail of one of my favorite hens.
