Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

aha, i think they mean the color salmon Using salmon to paint a chicken coop would be very hard! And slippery, if you do make sure its not underbaked!

I took some pictures tonight to show the main roosting setup. For those who do not know, when the barn shut down we had to move our horses. Everyone was given roughly a months notice. Everyone at the barn was left scrambling trying to find a new place to board, and frankly there were not many options and outrageous prices for what I consider questionable care. Ok, our standards may be different but still, the best option was to attach a barn to the back of our house. It is not fully enclosed in, only 3 sides but the open area is blocked from wind by the mountain. The roost that Butter is on is about 12 feet high. She is the queen of that roost. Towards the front is another roost that Daisy, Holly and now Basil sleep on. When Bunny is not broody she sleeps with Butter and 90% of the time Momma hen is also on Butter's Roost. In these pictures notice the positioning. Butter has placed herself between Blueberry and Creamy. Bubba and the silkies sleep either under Butter or huddled right next to her. Between Bubba and Butter, no one messes with the silkies at night.

Do you worry about owls at night, coming in from the open side? I'm worrying for you, sorry!

Window is Fixed in Place

I cut a notch into a 2x2, predrilled it so it would not split and screwed it into place. The window is now locked into place.

I then devised a temporary way to keep the front door open until the automated door comes.

I then put fresh straw in the coop. Well that drew a crowd of hens wanting into the straw to eat the good stuff. I placed Hattie into the bew coop. She was having so much fun that Aurora figured out how to get in using the porch and ramp to join her. No one else made it in.
