Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Observations

Hattie is definitely taking time out from foraging to sit down and concentrate on growing feathers.

Observations

Aurora just came over and cleaned some muck out of Gucci's head feathers. It was so sweet and tender that i was confused and did not video it. I was worried she was going to attack the three of them. I know they were concerned, especially Glynda who now avoids Aurora whenever possible.

All three froze in place with their heads bowed when Aurora approached.

No bath was had. Just sitting around doing nothing.

Sounds like me today. Doing nothing!

That’s wonderful!

Ceramic eggs stopped it in my tribe. Once they peck a rock hard one.......

Great idea!

I read vinyl is toxic and some even treatmented with lead.
I was hoping to find a non toxic coverage that I can remove as the weather heats up. I was using the reflective silver plastic but really felt it had to go as its been there for a long time. I may have to get more of it but not sure of the toxins in it.

Thanks so much for adding your input and @RoyalChick

How about another sheet of plywood? How big is the coop? Even 1/4” would be enough to cut the draft and a nice thick layer of shavings and straw would lovely!

Well, it’s 103f outside, and the chooks are still active in the yard. I have swapped out five different ones in and out of the house so far today. Hen-Rietta refuses to be picked up and taken inside. I even have treats for them if they want. Oh well!

What is Mr Pompei up to??

Why is he hovering over Dorothy in her nest box?

At least he isn’t up on the door!!

Dorothy must be ready to spit nails!!!

I notice Marty is roosting in her little spot, just wish Buttercup wouldn’t poop on her!!
