Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Maybe we should have a “coming out “ party for the little chicks. Because soon enough, they will be off to college and they will never write back home.
Kidding, they always write back home!

....when they want something!

Don’t get too excited. Mine reacted badly that the banana was not included.

Makes me think of the Seinfeld episode regarding muffin tops/bottoms!

With the breeze blowing up my skirt (of feathers) I feel like Marylin Monroe!!

So far so good. She has 2 under her now. I gave her the oldest yellow chick first as it was almost fluffed up and dried completely. She immediately started talking to it. I sat right outside her box watching her. She was constantly clucking to it and peeked under herself a few times and settled right back down. After about 30 minutes I gave her the Corona chick. Again she took right to it. In a few minutes I'm going to give her the youngest yellow chick and if she takes that one I will not press my luck any farther. I foresee another sleepless night tonight. It is ok though, I think if we make it through the night with no problems she'll be good to go.

That is the coolest thing! I love it.

They can eat banana peels??

I will try mine with this

My hens do eat banana peels, surprisingly. They peck out the insides (what's left behind from the banana) and once the peel is black and thin, they eat strips just like I imagine they would do with a snake! My hens have free access to a compost bin and it is such a great diversion for them!

I tried getting a few pictures and for the most part am not happy with them. Here is a video for you all. 7 are out, 5 of them pure Marans.

Rebecca - just to clarify, it's the photos you're not happy with right?

They chicks you are thrilled with - right ?

That's good to know, I have seen my silkie stomp a snake to death and scarf it back like spaghetti

I will try them with bananas

We don't have snakes where I live. We don't even have worms ready to be scratched up from the soil. Too far north, but we do have over nineteen hours of daylight in the summer, so that's fun!
