Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

My beloved Amber has now left us. She was struggling today and it was her time to leave.

Her final time was spent with her sisters

So sorry Marie. I’m behind again and catching up.

Where to buy wheatgrass seeds?????

These are a couple of places I get my sprouting seeds (I do tend to buy a good volume given my 90ish birds):

I do have 'conversations' with them - both in human and in chicken speak

I make their sounds back to them. Often it's a kind of "whoo-cooo" sort of noise. I wonder what they think of me and what I'm saying?

 

[LozzyR]

Darn it! I must have missed that. Heading on over now...

Edit: OMG 192 pages! This could take some time....

Yes, I got very behind on Shad’s thread and keep getting behind on Bob’s.

Well no drama today thankfully! I didn't let them run amok, of course keeping them safe in the barn I learnt doesn't mean they don't get into trouble

I fell off the manure pile and feeling it now, I was trying not to run over my silkie with the wheelbarrow

Bob, your imaginary car, should make it to the Texas border by this evening

I feel like I'm looping a little far too the south.

Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only crazy chook person that sings and talks to my chooks!
Though I don't sing to them in the winter due to my asthma, I do have 'conversations' with them - both in human and in chicken speak

Just explain that to your neighbors!

Alarm!

I was out in the run with the ladies for a while today. It was kind of nice as there was a song bird or 2 about. We were snacking and talking and relaxing.

Then I heard a song bird alert. Phyllis darted under the big coop and here is what the rest did. Listen close and you can hear Aurora giving the growl.

I never saw any hawk but I can see very little from inside the run with the plastic up.

Good birds, very smart! Yes I could her her grumbling, she is a good hen!

You okay? I usually step in it, not fall off of it! (Just saying)

We talk all the time. They talk to me. Phyllis and I had a long conversation today.
