Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

That darn Buttercup, she chases Dorothy and Rose around the hen house at bed time, looks like poor Curly has been knocked off her perch. Now I am worried about were she is.

This is why I don't like the silkies roosting on the high roost. Time to cut them down to a couple feet rather than 4 feet.

And its not like they are cramped in there , there is lots of room. But Buttercup has to be a pest, bed time drama.

I see Rose took refuge with Penelope. Meanwhile Dorothy has her roost all to herself.

I warned you, not to feed them after midnight ( from the movie “Gremlins”)

Ok for you I will set my alarm for midnight again and get some pics just for you

They were amazing!

Thank you so much. I can't wait to see them. I love fireflies.

Nights like these, I’m so glad the chooks find their own way back to the coop! I have a large yard (Just saying)

I know a lot of this is camera angle, but have I mentioned that Bella is a big girl? She really is!

She looks full grown. She is going to be a big one. What are you feeding these ladies!

 

[BY Bob]

Oh my goodness, new girls! What prompted this decision or am I going to have to owe SHRA tax?

I have explained nothing so far............

Roosting shenanigans still make my blood boil sometimes. I sure wish mine would settle down.

I see you have the same problems. Silly ladies. There is room for everyone!

Nighty Night

Tonight's pullet cuddle puddle.

Hattie's leg must be feeling better based upon this roosting stance.

Wow that's warm

Was that here yesterday and today, and very humid. The poor chickies are not good with this sudden change.

I was mentioning to GregnLety that I see a portable AC unit on Kijiji I might look at. Right now I have a fan on for them

Not only 90f but it just started raining! Gezz this crazy apocalyptic weather!!
My remedy for most anything, is a Tylenol and a jacuzzi bath! Aaaah!

All I need now, is a good updated VPN for my iPhone!

Big To Dos at Fluffy Butt Acres

I can't believe that everyone accepted my explanation for the refurb of the prefab. It did come out wonderfully (if I do say so myself).

Look closely at where it is placed.

It is in the corner behind the magnolia tree. That is so I can use it as........

A QUARANTINE COOP!

While I cannot create a full 30 foot quarantine environment, I can isolate new chickens and fence off my tribe from them.

So BY Bob, if you are setting up a quarantine coop you must be anticipating new chickens.

Why yes I am. They arrived today.

Everyone meet the newest residents of Fluffy Butt Acres. None of them have names yet.

This young lady is a Jubilee Orpington. Hopefully he and Hattie will have some adventures together.

This young lady is a Buff Laced Polish (and already Mrs BY Bob's favorite).
