Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Lady Red]

She's not fluffing up like an angry pine cone. Perhaps she's thinking about it ~ or maybe she's just objecting to you interfering when she's trying to lay...? But then we know my broodies are all psychopaths.

I laughed so hard at your entire msg Ribh!

Bob will get it. He sniggered all through our summer while I battled determined broody bantams who were absolutely psychotic!

Poor Buttercup. I’ve never shared this, nut her nickname is Fat A$$. What a terrible chicken mom I am! She just walked by and I said , “Hello, Fat A$$!” and thought I might share. Isn’t that just awful?

I've been known to call Aurora "Bubba".

A night scare

I Heard a strange noise in the house. A fox was sitting outside in the yard growling. I'm very nervous for when the time comes to move into the outside.

You must make certain that your coop and run are fox proof for sure now. Any free ranging will be complicated. How are you managing it @RoyalChick

So, I learned two things today:
1) My neighbor must think I own an animal sanctuary, because she brought a lost chick to my front yard this afternoon
2) Kiko prefers to be an only child and is NOT a fan of the new house guest. Kiko is not a happy camper right now.

buenos tacos (Good morning friends) No I don't use Spanish very much, but I understand "El Pollo Loco" quite well. Rocks-Ann update: She passed out an egg, and is doing well. She's sleeping comfortably in the chicken room, with Arizona, and Dakota. I awoke early to peek in and check on her.

So for those wondering how I managed to go the entire day without treating the boys it was simple. 1- I am out of Raisins much to all the chickens disgust. 2- Starting mid-afternoon or treat time a thunderstorm hit and it didn't stop raining until dark. 3- I've been inside all day hovering around the incubator making sure all the chicks have no trouble hatching. I've also already got them eating and drinking. 4- Butter was having none of this grounded no treat business and came to the front door and complained, loudly. She was let in for a hour of air conditioning and her own hotdog bun hand fed to her and rewarded me with a egg before she went back out. Finally when it was time to round everyone up for the night Momma hen, Holly and their chicks were giving their own already tore up hotdog buns as a bedtime snack. The rest of the flock were already on the roost and unaware this was going on. Tomorrow I will not be the Grinch and hand out treats again.

Sounds like my house! (I love my birds too)
