Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Princess had a bad time, Amber was snatching the food out of her beak and both stopped her sharing food then just ignored her. I couldn't take anymore. So made the other two eat together and made sure she ate well on the other side of the wire.

Later I took her aside gave her mealworms and sunflower seeds in a fresh egg before giving her that well needed lap cuddle.
She almost fell asleep and remained there relaxed a good time before I integrated the three again with more food and the remaining egg.
Thank goodness that seemed too do the trick.

I hope carrot tops won't hurt her because she's having her fair share today.
It's almost as if she knows big mama chick has her back and she's more confident.

There's a lot of work going on inside my home but I keeping checking to see they are all doing ok.

Will make sure a good amount of protein is in their last meal before bedtime.

Thanks Bob

Sounds like you are on top of things. Good deal.

And I do have the right pitch on that drainage!! (What does a chicken know about plumbing anyways? Gezzz.

Judging by the advice I receive on my draining ditch project I would say chickens are experts in plumbing!

What I'm thinking is, due to the fact that she has been bullied so much, she is not being as kind as she should be. It's sad.

Maybe one of your other girls may be a little more trustworthy.

Phyllis will not want them passing her in any pecking order. I was not surprised that she started already. Maybe a little disappointed in my heart but not surprised.

Only suggestion I have, is to move the Wide Screen TV into the littles new coop, away from the FBA original coop. Then they get entertained while they get big enough to join the pecking order!

What should I show on the TV?

Yes - she needs to establish her as above them. That feels right and proper to me.

Here are the littles enjoying the space of the outdoor run.

It is. If nothing else, Phyllis will no longer be bottom hen.

And one more thing…. I know a lot more about flying than those chickens do as well!!! (For my defense, only if they go on strike)
Now I’m off to go see Chaco

Cheke out if her comb is pink or red
