Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Well, I don't know about sweet , I think they had a Thelma and Louise vibe in this photo, like they meant business!
I hope Diana doesn't miss Maggie's chatter too much.

Would it be possible without redoing completely the roof of the coop to add a gutter that would take the water where you want it to go ?

@Lexicon They seem to enjoy the snow. Isabella did well she's got a beautiful puffy plumage .

Yes. Thelma and Louise is right! Diana seems OK. She is herself quite a talker and she shouts at Bernie a fair bit. Bernie is also very vocal but not usually very loud. It is like a constant running commentary on the world around them.

Injections for the back this time on the 12th. Finally!
Zeus he was so cute!

So frustrating but I have to say my solution has worked really well. I'm glad you found it but remember you can always ask.

Thanks, I know, you are so kind, thank you! My first two searches - with too many key words - came up zero, but the pared-down third found it. I would have asked otherwise.

I'll definitely be posting some pics for ya. It's my first time in Japan so I'm looking forward to it.

Nice. People I know, after visiting, usually say two things (1) they feel very tall there; (2) food is in very small portions.

exciting! exciting!

I'm 6'3 so it's hard for me to be inconspicuous. I'll have to order double portions.

I have just called a carpenter. I'll see if I can battle on for as long as I can. He won't be able to come until March

Can you just have them rotate the coop, since it is sitting on blocks? That might really help without the cost of a remodel.

This is where the cameras are such a big help.

Yes, I checked the coop cam and unless someone was tucked way into the nest box without a bit of themselves showing (almost never) I counted only three. So I checked the run cam that points down the little run and sure enough, a chicken-shaped figure was snuggled up against the auto door. Her greeting peeps when I went out there just tugged at my heartstrings. Poor bottom-hen Popcorn!
Tonight all is well, just before autodoor closing time (so far):

Haha! I am really enjoying someone else having weather like mine !

To be honest, yours is currently much worse. We are sitting at a relatively pleasant -10C.

Isabella in the background suggests that everyone moult in September like she does to be prepared for winter !

Yep I told my gals not to do any more moulting! Mostly because I am not there to baby them hahaha

So rooky mistake - I forgot to plug Ol Blue in.... and you guessed it - wouldn't start. The Boss tried to boost but still wouldn't start. Likely froze up solid!
