Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Blazinga]

We found a new home for Alba, people we know. We'll be taking him out to his new place. He'll have six hens to watch over and I believe they'll be older so hopefully they can teach him some manners when the hormones kick in. Speaking of which, when do they usually get their rooster behavioral hormones?

Arm candy.......this evening.


She's persistent

Shoulders are her perch of choice, complete with running to the other shoulder to avoid getting down. she may just be my lap chicken....

Its a poem.

But reading it won't make it any clearer - which is sort of the point.

Sounded like a fog horn and a bicycle horn had a baby....who swallowed a trumpet mute...

Look at how zoomy Mal and Aurora were!

It was a good thing they knew how to run. Hattie was so trying to be Lilly's friend two. She followed her everywhere back then.

I'm so glad you're persisting with the Cluckle Hut Bob. It'll come into its own one day.

It needs refinement too. Lots to do to finish it off. Mrs BY Bob and I were discussing paint colors again. I think we are still in the peachy zone.

Ok, I don't know if it was a fluke or not when my brother saw the hawks the other day, but, I am now 100% convinced it was not a hawk that is killing my chickens. I know this because the culprit went after squirrel a hour and a half ago. Huge bold coyote. It came off the hill and ran right by me before I even knew what was happening. It missed, only because I grabbed the hoe and gave chase while screaming for my dad to get outside with the gun. It ran back up on the hill but that is ok, set out bait in the back yard and me and mom are outback waiting. With a loaded shotgun. It will be back, not only has it got my chickens I've found out 3 of my neighbors have lost outside cats. Now that the culprit is known, everyone is on watch. And when you have to scream for a gun, you learn how many neighbors have guns, 2 of my neighbors beat my dad outside with a gun as they had witnessed the attempted attack. One way or another, it will be taken care of.

Well this is good news you know what you are dealing with and have marshaled your resources. Plus you were able to do so with no additional losses.

I look forward to hearing that the problem has been solved.
