Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

So this has been going off and on for almost a hour now and I cannot even blame Raven for it. Actually, I will, they clearly learned this behavior from her and copied it. This drama is involving 2 hens, and neither one has laid a egg yet I should mention.
Berthie needs to lay her egg, but the box is occupied. She has actually been in the box twice already but another hen threw the same fit when she was in it so she has left without laying. Only to return about 10 minutes later and do this so that the 2nd hen involved will leave without laying.

Poor Twig, he has given up coming to the porch. He has tried to solve the matters already by getting in the 2nd unoccupied box to show the girls that there is a empty box. They ignored him and now he is questioning his purpose in life. Maybe his dad is on to something and he should devote all his time and attention to the mothers bringing up the next generation.

The other hen leaves once again without laying a egg. She will be back though in a few minutes and she herself will start up the complaining. Watch and see who the other guilty culprit of nest box drama is.

Berthie finally got into the box and is silent. Maybe this time she will actually lay before you know who comes back.

Yes, somehow Raven is to blame for this.

I showed my Coco this media and she was mesmerized by it. Staring straight into my iPhone. She wanted to know who is inside my toy!

Nonsense

What are they doing! Aurora is in a neat box. Betty is on the far roost. Sydney is on the high roost. Hartir is where she always is, on the ground.

Thru are crazy.

I think they do it specifically to annoy you?

That must be that Oak you were telling me about - will you keep the wood for burning?

Spring fever? Seems anything goes at my place also! It’s past the full moon so can’t even blame it on that!

The only thing of any consistency is that fact that Curly likes to roost at the very top of that nest box!

And earlier tonight I caught this Rat in the aisleway - I yelled at it and scared it away hahaha - they can run fast teeheehee. Do you see it between the waterer and the sand pit? That is a big rat!

Looks like you've acquired a mouser, whether you wanted to or not...

Where? I don’t have any cats!

You've encountered "The Way of Cat".

Oh how wonderful! Sure hope you can - and take lots of photos!

I ordered 5 dark Brahmas - if I can't have spangles then at least I can have an 'almost barred rock' look with fuzzy legs

Those are PENCILLED! See?
