Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[notabitail]

Hi everyone. Can I just share that the chickens had a GREAT weekend? They are so active now that it really feels like spring. They had about half of yesterday and almost all of today to range. They ran around (vs sitting) ALL DAY. My heart is warm. Here are a few highlights.

The biggest chicken, Buttercup, trying to squeeze into a tiny nest box with the second biggest chicken, Bridge.

I must admit, I was holding my breath. My daughter would NOT have been impressed!

Mine does it almost like on purpose. Climbed up my arm and pooped on my shirt.

Always worth the wait.
Is this why the thread has so many posts when I wake up and very few when I'm awake?

Maybe you should keep different hours!

Maybe you should keep different hours!

You are all on timezones ahead of me!
Maybe I should go to bed earlier. (Like that will ever happen)

I don't think I'm going to reconsider scrolling thru an educational thread like Fluffy Butt Acres, Bixby.
My phone thought I was typing Foggy Butt Acres.
