Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Mine eat the grape leaves of the few branches that are low enough!

I was thinking of trying to get a champagne grape vine when I expand the run, then I would be less concerned about them choking when they help themselves to fresh grapes.....

I like this idea.

I'm debating. Mow the grass or let it grow and hay it?

I've had those thoughts some rainy years. But I'm being silly when I say it.

Grow the hay !! You won't regret it! I'm leasing my tractor overseas if you want. Gotta love that summertime !

Why would they choke themselves? And what is it about champagne grapes? Are they bigger? I have a very old grape vine that delivers a very sweet grape with a weird taste that is probably supposed to be nice but which I dislike intensly - so I ignore the vine. I need to go inspect to see if it survived the winter and if so I will see if the chickens like its yukky grapes.

Frankly since chickens can swallow mice whole I worry a lot less about choking on whole grapes

With Mal and Aurora the prefab was in the big run. I could separate the big run from the rest of the complex and let them out into it while I sat in the run. We could then interact as they wanted. I have no run where we can interact with the quarantine coop. They are confined to the coop which I cannot enter.

Maleficent and Aurora in the big run.

Is it just me or does she have that Bram Stoker's transylvanian aura ? If she had teeth I mean?

The Gooch seems to be walking better this morning but there is still ahitxh in there. I did a little better this morning by just opening the door, throwing in some cracked corn, and sitting back in the chair. They had no desire to leave the coop.
