Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Got two planter hooks like I think @bgmathteach posted about and got a cabbage! I am trying a half first, to see how they like it. Here they are checking it out, they had tried it when it was hanging lower from a chair, so this isn't exactly the moment of first encounter. That's Hazel with the long call, I think now she does that when there's something pretty good to eat around, she gets pretty vocal (then and when she has to go lay).

Wow, that is so cool @RoyalChick ! I would so love to find one of those 'hats' left behind!!

Oh good - I am not alone. I felt a bit of a nerd as I was excited about it!
I think I need to mount it as a decoration in the Chicken Palace.

Count me in for that too! They don't last long in the wild, I think the mice and other rodents chew them for the calcium, so it is a real treat to find one!

I think they come in pairs. There are certainly two that visit together.

Can they kill you? You be the judge...

My BIL has collected enough to build his Christmas tree out of them....along with other things. He had my boys out with him changing the cards in his trail cams when my youngest came up with the other half of one the BIL found the year before. After that, he was up the trees working on cams while cranking his head around trying to spot more sheds. Now he has a hound mix trained to sniff them out too.
