Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I think it was 7. At one point I thought 8 because there is another one in the grass, but I think it is one that went around and was already counted.
When I first watched the video I couldn’t believe how they kept appearing!
They were living in the barn and I had seen them out on that bit of gravel a few times so I put the trail camera there.
Mom does look pretty exhausted! She was a good hunter - she would leap up and grab the mocking birds/gray catbirds out of the sky and they would gang up and fly at her as a mob but it didn’t deter her.

Amazing to watch them. If only they did not eat chickens I could really enjoy them. Much like hawks.

Hello Fluffy butts ! I did what I could to get some pictures after lunch. We have a huge storm forecasted for this afternoon so I've been trying to do all I could to make it safe, thunder's rumbling now and I'm expecting power and internet will be down soon. My partner's working today (he's a bus driver) and of course he'll be driving the bus back in our mountains gorges just at the time the storm should be the worse .

Dottie jumps on me everyday. Yesterday she let me pet her for the first time without much noise. Today I pet her some more with no noise and she stayed on my leg and back. She and I are pretty close.

It is a special thing to have a trusting bond like that.

The pecking order is weird Dottie doesnt follow Malefacent and has her own followers, and malefacent has her own followers and the 2 of them will butt heads (no blood draw). I guess I have one flock with two gangs lol.

That could happen. I think I sort of have that right now with my three new ones.

I used to know a family of foxes they would look too actually ask for food.

It is sad as you can't trust them with chickens if only they could be trained and fed somehow

No very sick I did get to clinical Covid and strep throat likely - now made worse by my throwing up.

Gave up at work told coworker to take over.

Mum call 911 last night I was having issues with tight chest and just not well , just very unwell, hard to explain but I had her freaked out. The medics checked me out heart was good so they offered to take me in but I told them if I got worse I would call back.

Just miserable vicious sore throat with pain pouring out my ears (that’s how I discribe it), tight chest, can’t cough it’s pure agony.

Poor animals I did a drive by threw out feed and that was it. Mum is out doing chores now.

Ok can’t type anymore

Paxlovid in first five days, inquire!

They're still working it out. And the order shifts again when they start laying/go broody and hatch babies.

It definitely changes when they start laying. Those that lay first tend to move up above those not laying.

Now it's my turn. Lower than chickens in the food chain......

• Insects
• Mice
• Worms
• Chipmunks
• Snakes
• Plants
• Frogs
• Other small rodents, moles, voles, etc.
• Squirrels*

*My ladies have attacked both Squirrels and Ducks.

I'm certain there are others I am missing. Please join in everyone.

You missed my bad neighbors.

I am thinking the same thing.

Ya maybe today. Too sick to go.

Just need evil sore throat to go away so I can drink fluids.
