Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Are there two ways into the Cluckle Hut, one on each side of the barrier?

The barrier is only on the roost. The rest of the Hut is wide open. This just prevents Phyllis from walking down the roost and throwing them off.

Finally got proof. Asphodel is laying.

It fixes the last bit of integration, very creative and thank you for sharing the idea. I will be filing it away in case I ever run into the problem.

Your thread is entertaining and I love hearing your stories but just as importantly it really is a truly wonderful resource. I have continued my journey through the history of this thread and I am currently around page 8100 and I have already learned so much from you and your frequent posters. Thank you

I'm so glad you are finding it of value. It is a great resource and history for me as well.

How on earth did you manage that

I left the room and kept checking on them they went in the tent to get water and food and I blocked them in lol.

Ha! This entirely sounds like me twice a day every day.

Our run remains unfinished at the moment it needs hardware cloth on the upper half of it so atm I sit out with them in the morning and in the evening so they can sun and dust bath for at least an hr or two.

Getting them back in through the pop door though was a royal pita. Herding chickens proved far more frustrating then I thought possible then I got smart and Like you described when I see that most have gone inside to eat thats when I move to wrangle the stragglers in.

Same strategy lol

It is getting easier though they seem to be learning the routine.
