Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

No, they were climbing on a large pine...at just about eye height (one was scared & nestling in a branch notch about 15' up) the other one kept wanting to come down the trunk....scurrying around it...to my height, then scooting up, then scurrying down...it was so magical of a moment!

Are they digging under the coop to get at chicken feed? I can't see why they would be going in there by way of the ground. They are cavity-dwellers, we've had them occupy a certain bluebird box that was attached to a telephone pole, chewing the entrance hole to make it a little bigger. I let them have that one. I don't think of them as predatory / carnivorous the way the red squirrels are, but I don't really know. They could certainly chew their way into a wood or plastic coop if they wanted to. They are insanely cute, and their fur is beautiful.

Me and Jaffar were inside the coop, waiting for the hens to get home. But in the meantime, I was showing him YouTube videos about broody hens. He stared directly at my iPhone screen and didn’t even flinch. I thought it was hilarious!
(He’s such a good rooster)

This maybe a little over the top but I love this funny guy that thinks out of any other box

The Dodo do great videos.

I also don’t picture him as a costumer, but who am I to guess? Downside to farming… I miss out on DragonCon

I'm sure Bob has many hidden talents.

Yes, I think they were after chicken food. I keep it in the open wire part of the coop (not the 'formal' coop) My 'coop' has a 4X8 footprint. @ 3' height, 1/2 is enclosed for proper coop. Not the best photos, but this is what I have

Hahaha I used to be mean to citiot, but then one day I was downtown Toronto and lost my car in the underground parking at First Canadian Place building..... Huge facilities... They asked me 'what letter and number' I was parked at..... ?

I told them I didn't know, that there were no cedar trees or Holstein cows so what did I know for land markers??!!

We eventually found the car, at J 22 hahaha. And that dear people was how learnt the value of numbers and letters when parking anywhere!

I had a similar occurrence parking at that huge mall in Edmonton. Walked for 30 minutes looking for my rental car.

Seanan McGuire does some really good filk stuff. This is just downright freaky.

I just loved that. Amazing!

My neighbor gave me a box (4 lbs) of vegan butter, yesterday. What am I doing to do with vegan butter?

Try and eat it. How does it taste?

Still haven’t even tried it yet!

Sorry, I was using "coop" loosely and also interchangeably, thanks!
