Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I will look that up.

It was getting a little dark, sort of damp in places, so I painted it, plus I really liked Bob's coop, so too be honest I sort of copied what he did. But don't tell him

Okay, I won’t tell @BY Bob anything about it!

I knew my secret would be safe with everyone here

Good night all.

A Day of Rememberance

November first is a tough day around Fluffy Butt Acres. It is the anniversary of perhaps the greatest failure of mine as a chicken guardian. It is the day that my chicken friend Elphie fell in the pool and passed from hypothermia while I ran inside to take a call for work.

I remember her every year on this day. She was the first of these chickens to take an interest in me. She was funny, smart, and beautiful. She taught Daisy, the greatest hen, ever the ropes.

For those who choose not to read the entire thread and don't know Elphie's story, here is a link to it.

And here is my friend who I tragically let down. I miss you all the time. I'm so sorry my friend. Please forgive me and rest in peace.

Well, time to get the chooks back to the coop. And my beans and cornbread are almost ready (on, and in the stove.)

What is funny is that her tail is so short now! Here's another tiny tail photo.

@BY Bob, another blast from the past:
It looks like Hattie grew, but her tail stayed the same!! I swear it looks almost the same size in both photos!

No cooperation from the chooks. No overcast sky, so the sun is shining

These 2 girls right here were in rare form this morning. They both decided they needed to lay their eggs about 5 minutes apart. Bunny was first to the porch and got in her box. Creamy shows up a few minutes later and has a squawking fit, she needs privacy and no neighbors to lay her egg. After going on for 10 minutes nonstop I went out and put her in her side, the side she always uses. That set bunny off, she went to squawking and stretching her neck over to bawk in Creamy's face. When Bunny finally shut up, creamy got back started and pulled the same stunt. Finally after a hour both girls laid their eggs, and they proceeded to sit and glare at each other as if seeing who was going to get up first. 2 hours later creamy finally has enough and leaves, she has enough time to reach the top step when satisfied she'd won that battle Bunny was able to leave.
Here they are about halfway into their game of "you move first"
