Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

That's it! I'm convinced I've got a bunch of complete hooligans now. There is no way they would put up with that.

She was pretty sick at this time, so there wasn't much fight in her, but she's also one of my easier hens to handle.

I did a little test today, to see just how ferocious the littles are. I made pork ribs last night, and saved the bones. I set the littles on the chick blanket, and presented them with a bone. Just like Velociraptors, they attacked it. As I watched them shredding the meat off of it, I began to worry. They started looking over at me as if to say “you’re next!”

Some here love a bit of meat. Donk and Mel will happily eat dead mice.
Moon won't touch meat, nor will Punch.

I offered cooked rabbit liver to my chickens...they didn't seem to impressed with it!

I saw my “Rocket “ swallow a whole mouse before too. She just caught it and ate it. Done deal.

This type of pad is what seems to have worked best for Cillin. The pad thickness is 9mm. A pad lasts about 2 days. I've been quite surprised at how much they compress after just a days use. Anything much stiffer is uncomfortable for Cillin.
I tape this on with sticky textile medical tape. The same stuff you can see in the picture.

Hi Eve sweetie! Enjoy your time with Grandma and Grandpa. (Pssst... get Grandpa to read you your wombat books.)

Yes, I can see how those heavyweights could keep you pinned...

Never underestimate the power in numbers!

It's easy to figure that out...they want whichever one the first hen is sitting in...

Obviously!
