Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I've been thinking about this sort of scale.

And then replacing the tray with a thick branch.

Then I can sneak out after dark and move a sleeping hen from her roost onto the thick branch and hold her steady until the scale has taken her full weight. Read the dial. Put the hen back on the roost. Come back a week later to do another hen.

This is a very and an excellent idea imo

MMS. Well, okay, rather a lot more than just a mug but at lleast she's facing in the right direction which is good for me.

If they saw the scale every day, they might even choose to roost on it, which would make the task even less stressful for the hens.

They've never seen a strawberry before.

Brilliant anyone would think they were either starving of feral. Bless them

Gold bottle tops I hope.

My father always used the bottle tops quote. I assumed he was referring to the old milk bottle caps, which were lightweight aluminium & easily breached by magpies after a free drink.

Oops, I told you he'd on my tail

Thanks Shad

That used to regularly happen too us, I had forgotten about that

I think my girls were lambs in their last life and I must have been Mary.

@MaryJanet
You said it takes a long time too know a chicken these little loves knew me within a week and I am totally in love with them.

I'm so protective like I've never been before. I guess I've always been the protective sort towards animal's but never this bad.
