Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

This is quite perceptive of you. I'm learning her way of doing things. I would imagine that some of those behaviors may be learned from the other chickens she lived with prior to coming here, others may be because of her feathers etc. I wonder if she will change at all after joining this tribe? At least I know have video to look back to at some point.

It will be interesting to see how she develops. I have always noticed Phyllis's moves and assumed they were maybe specific to the breed or having a big hair-do, but now watching Betty I am thinking it is more an individual thing.
Fascinating.

Do you think that she is warmer in the nest box? I think my two silkie hens are warmer ...

Yes, I think that is probably the answer. I will let her keep going where she wants until it gets warm and then try again. I really don't like her sitting where she poops!

I can't tell from the notifications bell when @BY Bob is replying to a regular post from someone or has posted news, or is there more to it?

No more to it - but you can kind of tell the rhythm of the thread from those notifications - you will over-read Bob's posts and under-read some other people's posts but you can pretty much keep up that way.
It works for me on a number of other threads.

I can't imagine anyone skipping your posts. I look forward to every single one. They are must read material.

Nope. I did not see one. I thought that too.

Maybe she wants to find out if there's a rooster around in this new joint?

Betty is wondering why her new house is not the same shape as her old house. She keeps going to that corner and wondering why it's blocked off.

Phyllis is befuddled by Betty's confusion.

I'm thinking she sees the ladder to the Fluffy Butt coop and wants to go up there.

Is it just me, or is a bunch of tax due for all the Italian food commentary? Here’s some tax just for me commenting on the commentary. Lol!

I suspect there's a bit of bias at work, evident in the lax enforcement. Anything Italian gets a pass!

The ladder and the other chickens. There must be a way there. Maybe they are more friendly than Phyllis.

Interesting idea but how would I collect someone from the other side of it if I needed to do so. I would have no access.

Hang it with hinges.

I have been lax. I promise to more actively enforce the tax rules.

How is River today? Any improvement on either appetite or the thrush?
