Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

The best solution is really more chickens. That way Bernie can share the love and not wear out one lady. Just like a rooster would. 4 more hens would be just right.

Actually, I think 5 more would be better - give her an even 8 so there isn't an 'odd one out' so to speak.

OR, if she can get a roo, 5 pullets and a cockerel. I think she has said that 8-12 would be a good number for the Palace, no?

I just want this day to be over with. I know if I go out to close the coop, one of my rascals will be still running around in the yard. Or Dakota will try to con me into letting her stay inside the house!

Just had a LARGE crow swoop back and forth across the driveway. Then it landed. I happened to be standing at the glass door watching, phone across the room, so no pics. Lark and Indigo, the 2 smallest hens, (and smaller than the crow) took turns charging it with tails spread (they looked like broody mamas). It gave ground, then decided discretion was the better part of valor, so it took off after the 4th charge. If either one turns broody, she'll be a FIERCE mama! Maybe they will co-brood...

Chickens are fierce! Ask my cat!

Or a bonnet.

Only $4.80 on Etsy and the green would match her legs. Actually I think I could even crochet that myself.

Finally, some chicken math I can get behind.

Sorry havent been on much today (well talkative wise. Im in alot of pain. 2 more days until I get my hida scan and should have results by wednesday or thursday. Hubby took care of the big and lil chickies. Moved the other empty coop up by the big coop thats where my silkies will go. My wifi booster will be here tomorrow so hopefully I feel well enough to get the coop cam going. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hmmmm would be an oven for the beans!

Hahaha baked beans

Top could be wire.... or the side away from the sun - for both ventilation and access.
