Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I did not plan for them. I really did not want this cross because as much as I do love Momma Hen, I would not wish her antics on my worst enemy. That said, now that they are here, they are cute.

They are adorable!

I'm feeling so grateful that I've never taken the step of crating a broody hen! When the Aurora finds Amazon and tells her followers, the hens at my house might decide to not crate me

Well played!

I know I've said this before, but I just love watching the 'calculating' going on before 'lift-off'

That's because it is a form of chicken math. Probably chicken calculus.

Dakota! She attacked me when I walked by the chickens room. I was carrying a cheeseburger and I guess she wanted some. She flew straight onto the plate and I dropped it on the floor. She’s been eating all day long, so why is she jumping me now? Crazy bird!

Chickens are never full. That craw can stretch a little bit more for a hamburger.

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?

Too small for a coyote (though to be fair hard to tell how tall), the ears and eyes make me suspicious of a cat, but rather large for a housecat, and it doesn't move like a bobcat or lynx.

Sure is a mystery ! As long as the chooks are safe though that is the main thing.

I think it is plenty tall enough to be a coyote - here is a fox that just ran past the same camera. He is a bit closer in so is a bit more foreshortened but even allowing for that the other critter is way bigger.

I’m ashamed that I have to buy store bought eggs in the first place!

Those fake rocks of your should be ashamed not you.

I thought it was funny. It felt good when I posted it.
