Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

? Ya, where’s Sydney?

Maybe she's hiding because she is not cool enough to be on the same page as Phyllis. Or she's laying an egg under the nesting box.

Hoomans can be Mothers to us chikenz, they know you will protect them.

I have been looking at all the little chicks that have been popping up, and it's giving me ideas of motherhood.

No, that’s not it. But she is the standard of which I judge my Rocks!

That’s a reepicheep!

It's grey and damp here today

Finally sunny here the gang is outside digging in the soggy puddles in the grass tearing is up and turning it all into mud - I will need to get them out of that and let it dry up and let the grass grow back - wow chickens are distructive!

I noticed my post was posted twice. Odd.

I wish you could as well.

Well I think now that I am back home I will go back on the Tylenol 2s, which is the 'gold standard' for treating RLS. It doesn't make me into a zombie next day at least! I can't take it when I am working because to test for those meds and I do not want a positive test!

So the News for today - I made the broodies come out to the alleyway to peck around with their babies for about 10 minutes then they made their way back into the Hen House. I am good with them doing that as those Silkies are sooooo darn small! They don't seem to be able to hop over anything higher than 3", so I don't want them to be stuck somewhere and can't get out!

Meanwhile the Tweens are pretty much following the flock around. On the weekend I might start keeping them in the Hen House in their bin (tuck it under the ledge with them in it); or if I can get them to roost in a nestbox...

Destructive? I prefer the term architecturally motivated!

So very sad. Everyone is still missing her today.
