Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Meet Henry The Second and his hens!
These are all Ex Batts or rescues.
I'll be looking after them along with another person for the forseeable future.
They all live on a large allotment plot about 5 mins walk from my daughters.
I'll get some better pictures up later.
There is a lot of work to do. The start was made this morning when they all got out of their run for the first time together.
The first project is to increase the size of their run. There is just about enough grunt left in me to get a fence up and maybe even build a new coop. Negotiations are currently in progress.
I picked Henry The Second up today and a few of his hens. I haven't held a rooster for almost five months!

Good on you shad rescuing battery hens.

Everybody ready to say “Poor baby”?
due to the wildfires around here, the whole valley is full of smoke, my eyes are watering, hard to breathe and even difficult to go outside and relax with the chickens. All my clothing smells of smoke, cars and home are all covered with ash and dust. (Cue the tears and pity)

Omg this is awful

What a mixed flock, they are lovely!
I'm so glad you are able to get a more stable "chicken fix" again Shad. Their quality of life will go right up with you looking after them. It's a win/win situation.

As is necessary I'm keeping my girl apart. I swap them around the garden areas.

Flexi wasn't where I'd left her and I was in a real panic thankfully my clever girl managed too get over the fence and passed Agatha and Tina with no fuss at all before getting herself back into the coop too lay her egg, what a champion

However she had a little peck at Tina maybe too tell her she was here first

The temporary coop has been patched up incase of weather getting colder. It's cool today so I think I've done this just in time.

There's air flow from the side larger attached box and the door, this door needs another bolt.
