Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Does anyone think that if I had a scarf made, that Jaffar would wear it? It gets cold here at night. View attachment 3416742

What ever happened to that scarf for Jaffar? It might keep his bare neck warm....

Old age no cure for that - but it’s fun whining! Get to post some whining tax photos

Good morning @aynesidea how are you doing today?

I didn't know chickens like snow.

These hens don't like snow above their ankles, but a light snow or packed snow is just fine. We have snow on the ground for over half of the year, so they get used to it!

Got some good mugshots today!

Today is fair temperature wise, but very nice and sunny. The girls had a good time dust bathing under the coop! I laid down with them (for a bit, before my mom yelled at me haha) it was funny to see the boys try to show the hens the best little holes too

I should really save this for Pony Sunday - but just had to share

It’s too big on him. He would trip over it and possibly choke

Waiting for this weather to break, cold & windy. We finally got our prefab run, 10 x 20 with some kind of wire, box is still in driveway, we had our 2.5 year old grandson from Fri afternoon, right after run delivered! Love him to pieces but he just won't slow down, so no working outside, tons of old BlackBerry brushes, we will get to them later. I'm sure we will need to do some major reno on this run to make it preditor proof, but have to get it up first. DH seems fine with having 5 wk old chicks in dining rm!!!!! So frustrated, big time. How are you?

There is no way other than x-ray. They are all born with holes in their skulls which should close on their own. It is very important that they not mix with bigger chickens until their holes close as one gentle peck in the head can be fatal. They are usually closed by 4 weeks.

Brrr. It looks so
