Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Not always, personally speaking I'm doing everything possible too keep my girls cool. I have four shady covers for them and another being built.
I can't arrange electricity in position of my garden which is daunting. But I go about all day taking out cool water and various cold fruit. In the winter I add warmed pads underneath their straw.

It sounds like you are definitely doing right by them.

I am happy to hear you had a lovely flight.

Awesome flight! My bird is ready for Hawaii! Yay

That chicken care taker didn't take any "care" at all.

Did they not even notice the chickens in distress? I'm sure they didn't all pass at once. DO SOMETHING! Ugh!

I would NEVER treat my feathered friends that way!

Nor any other living thing, I'm sure.

Cute little pumpkin isn’t it?

They are so cute when they are young but once they are all grown up they turn into real monsters.

Thanks. I was very curious. She was also quiet while doing the check. She used to carry on so before she used the coop.

That brings up an interesting question, what is the reason for the carrying on? Complaining to get the nestbox occupant to hurry up and leave? Or at least announcing the intention and need to lay, maybe in order to secure a spot "in line" for it, or announce you're next so anybody else has to wait? If there is no one in the nestbox she wants, did Phyllis still carry on?

Now she has her Secret Garden, and no competition at all, but it is not a safe secure place like the coop, so there's an extra need to be quiet.

What do you and everyone here think?

I try not to think too much, my brain has limitations. Schedule, flight charts, maintenance, two properties. And thankfully only 12 chickens at this time
