Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Get Up!

Someone at FBA is trying to crow. I caught her in the act this morning. It is Sydney. Sadly I did not think to have my phone ready to record her. If Mrs BY Bob has not fed them snacks by 7 am Glynda starts throwing a fit now. Mrs BY Bob has been trained.

Most of all, I really don't need neighbors complaining about noise and crowing!

How adorable. Looks like she is doing a great job.

I am laughing because I had to look up that Hamburg is a breed of chicken.
I thought you were feeding him hamburger meat (which I am sure he would greatly enjoy)!

Oh goodness, I hope most it’s a passing phase for Sydney, maybe spring fever hormones being a bit crazy.

My second hope is that if she decides to keep on doing it that it is not quite as loud and sound carrying as a full on rooster crow and that it happens less frequently. Fingers crossed she doesn’t get the full hang of how its done.

Normally, I would find this behavior interesting and even a bit funny but in your case I am not at all amused, I am worried with you, as I know you have some neighbors that don’t appreciate roostery noises.

The Littles have come up with a solution to the overcrowding on the top deck. I don’t think Sylvie will accept that at night but she is happy now. She likes sitting up on perches.
I have turned off the heat and removed the side ‘feathers’ to see if they will move to the lower deck. The lower deck tray is more spacious.

I have been playing my game mostly. Just passed out while I was opening the blinds and fell straight back on my head. Ouch, called hubby at work I'm just gonna sit on couch for awhile. Now my head and neck hurt.
I love all the photos of the babies. I need a hair dryer before I wash my dirty silkies.

They are looking so grownup, all lined up up there like they are big chickens on a roost. Sylvie really looks as though she is getting the idea.

Oh no! I hope your ok, hopefully your husband will be home soon.

Ha! Anyone who says hens are more quiet than roosters doesn’t know chickens

Meanwhile my neighbours Roo seems more quiet.
