Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

My girls had a wash today but you wouldn't know it, they are even muckier now

 

[Marie2020]

I think my neighbor is poisoning my birds. I am going to keep them all in lockdown confined to the barn/coop and run. No more free range. And this makes me feel very sad.

Have you found anything unusual or suspicious

 

[Marie2020]

I best not go into detail, without evidence.

You could always inbox. Do you have cameras

 

[Marie2020]

Some of my neighbors are of criminal element, and when I call them on it, immediately get reprisals. These cowards will poison my birds, but not confront me directly. Sorry I’m very depressed at the moment

That's perfectly understandable. I just hope you get to the bottom of what's really going on

Shad has already made me laugh several times this morning... are you moonlighting as a stand up comedian??

He can be wickedly funny and I do love it when he is.

Smallest chicken egg I’ve ever seen!! Guinness book??? View attachment 2624537View attachment 2624538View attachment 2624539

that is one tiny chicken egg. You sure it is not from some song bird?

 

[BY Bob]

We have had one for a couple of years now and other that getting dirty, some screws needing retightening, and paint fading a bit, is none worse for wear. We only have three chickens and they only use it for sleeping and depositing eggs. We live in the high desert so our climate is relatively dry with cold long winters and some pretty stiff winds. Perhaps what has helped save the coop from destruction is that it sits right next to the house.

That is standing up really well. Have you ever repainted it?

 

[BY Bob]

I called league against cruel sports about this but no one seems to care. I spoke to a caring guy once but the ladies I got through to twice after were not interested in helping at all

They can be so disappointing.

For you and the poor dog.

I understand. Have you thought about a necropsy for Emma? That could give you evidence.
