Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I can only find brown ceramics, and when I tried that to reduce egg eating? Well chickens are not color blind. They just kept chowing down on the green and blue eggs, and the occasional brown. They could totally tell the difference.

They have thrown it out of the nest box twice. I just keep putting it back.

Probably need to pay some tax. Really By Bob is worse than the UK VAT (value added tax)

Treacle, the wannabe house rooster.
Yeah, I know he's outside. It was a lucky shot.

Just like any government, I do love collecting taxes! The ones I'm getting are exceptionally beautiful. This one in particular,

It's no good. I've got to fez up. I've been in denial. I've got as near to a house rooster as makes no difference.
Treacle visits the house every day. I let them all out of their coops in the morning, Treacle spends between half an hour and an hour with the tribe or the ducks and then arrives at my house. He doesn't march straight in. He waits outside until I appear.
Once I'm in the house (I usually am because I go in to have breakfast around then) Treacle comes in. He's not after food it seems. He just wants the company.
If I leave, as I have for most of the day recently, he often waits in the house. The door is open so he can come and go as he pleases. When he does go back outside and I arrive, he rushes at me like I'm a hen, his wings spread out and full tilt run. He gets right up to my feet and stops dead.
If I go back to the house he follows me.
The strange thing is, when the rest of Tribe 1 arrive; it's usually after 3.30 pm, he mixes with them as normal. They generally stop in the house until supper time, 5pmish. Then they all go off to their coop together.
I'm having to carry him out some days just to make sure he gets some outside time.

You must have been the only one who didn't realise this...

He was in denial. This is a big moment for Shad. Admitting reality can be difficult.

You mean, there is a reality?
