Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

I don't think they know what you (or me) is saying, but I think they understand from the tone that it is at least good.

That's why I try to use their bokky noises when I talk to them hehe I'm sure the neighbours think I'm silly but the hens seem to like it

 

[MaryJanet]

I wonder if the wagtails have a nest nearby?

Good question. I think they must have. They were extremely cross.

Dakota braved up and insisted on being in the coop (on her own perching area) Arizona is a fraidy hen, I guess

Is she still acting at all broody, clucky/ puffing up? My girls torment each other when one is broody. And it takes at least a week if not two to be accepted again fully.

No, not puffed up. And doesn’t make that broody Bok Bok anymore, but runs from the other chooks (runs to me)

Ever since my return home, I have had Jaffar and Arizona for company in the house with me. Some of the others too, but they aren’t quite as snuggly. Arizona likes to get as high up on a shelf to sleep there. Jaffar thinks climbing up is nonsense, and prefers to snuggle with me, wherever I am. He’s such a good rooster. (Feathered therapy, I love it!)

I have a real problem. Arizona is not being accepted back into the tribe. She stays by herself and runs away from the others. I’m letting her stay with me in the house. She’s a good little lady and I cannot understand why she’s being treated like this? I have tried several times to help integrate her with her other chooks (I have failed)

This is worrisome. Have you tried placing her in the coop after everyone is roosted for the night so that she is there when everyone wakes up in the morning?

@featherhead007 and @rural mouse we are going to need some tax payments for the skiing snowboarding conversation as no chickens were seen going down the slopes.

I just heard snakes referred to as ‘danger noodles’!

Excellent! I love that!

Yes, but then she gets chased all around the rafters by the Rocks and Beetov-Hen.
Makes quite an alarming noise in the coop. I will keep trying.
