Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

We really must be in a different world at my house. We've had chickens for two and a half years now and still not had one predator incident of any kind. We see the big raptors flying up high and have smelled a skunk a few times, but that's it. No other sign that a predator even exists. Our chickens free range unsupervised all day every day, except they almost never will venture out onto snow. There was even one time where we were out of town for a few days with the door to the coop wide open. Everyone was perfectly fine when we got back. Weird, eh? I hope I didn't just jinx it by telling you.

I sure hope so too. What that really means is that there is enough easier food out there that predators do not need to resort to attacking your chickens. That is a good thing.

That advice from Michelle worked wonderfully.

The melted coconut oil didn't work at all. I was over the moon to see her do a normal poo, I almost scared the life out of her praising her poop jumping up in the air

What on earth my neighbours think I don't know

We have all been there.

I am really loving their coloring. Very pretty.

They are even better looking in person. Beautiful birds.

Of course I may be biased.

Wow! That is a lot of raptors to deal with. That is more like the civil defense identifying Japanese planes during WW2!

Well, in all fairness, it’s really just the medium sized hawks I see on a regular basis. But the other raptors do live here!

I thought I read chickens see ultraviolet light.

Yes, me, too. (Meaning, I’ve read that; I don’t see UV!!! )

I’ll say it again “you just can’t trust A.I “!
