Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Stay off the roof

I have to get up there to assess the situation. Looks like the facia boards are leaking at the seams and flashing (it rained REALLY HARD for several days)

I can only see my barred Rocks half the time!

Dark- light dark- light dark-light (only half I can see)

I get 4 eggs a week if I’m lucky

My dear little Tina is laying most days I wish she could rest.

Same here regarding the rain. We were dry as dust for months now we are sodden

Friends, I have a serious attitude for altitude today, but I was warned that I need a 20 mile visual, away from any storm clouds. (I’m surrounded by storm clouds) So I guess I should just start fixing the roof. Sadly 10 ft high isn’t quite the same as 8000ft !

Shelter before fun

Anyone have any clue what this is?

Apologies for the really short and really poor quality video. It is from the cameras that normally record the foxes getting their squirrel dinners.

Wrong ears for a deer and too small.
Legs look too long for a fox.
Coyote maybe?

WDYT?

Don’t leave me guessing!

Thank you both! Yes indeed it is a good sign. But self-control is going to be very important for the next month.

Ohhh, I love this stage. The fugly stage when they are still a bit fuzzy, and hence funny looking, but also kinda cute They are starting to look like mini-mes....so darling!

I really can't tell the size/height by this. Dog/fox like ears. Do you have Grey foxes in your area? They are a bit bigger and leggier than red foxes. I agree with Val, canine family, it looks like.

Yeah - you have to look really carefully
Here is a still from the video. I drew a red ring around the critter in question.

I'm having trouble with the height but the lack of tail now has me thinking bobcat.
