Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Hard start for the new day Tax:

Fox will hunt during the day in North America. Is your coop a tent?

No no, it’s a normal coop with wire around it, we just had to build a little to the coop and add some more shade so thats why it looks like that, we don’t have that coop anymore as it was destroyed so now they are in a 100% predictor proof coop

If you meant their indoor coop then yes it’s almost a tent, it’s meant for chicks but it’s quite big and they sleep in their bc I’m too afraid a fox will come and eat them and I have seen and heard a couple since the attack

 

[Firsttimehens1234]

Fifi had a terrifying experience with the attack and likely has been in shock.

Agreed, and honestly I would feel the same coming to a new place and the first night in a whole new place your only friend gets taken away from you and eaten right in front of you.

she had a horrible experience but after she got another friend she is almost over it

“Mommy, I don’t want to get up, and I don’t want to go to school today!”
(Now I know what my kids meant when they said that!)

I don't have to tell my mom that. I'm homeschooled

Kitty update.
They have names, sort of. Before it was confirmed the long haired one was a female mom started calling it Smokey. She is now debating if it will stay that or not. The short haired one I think she has settled for Trixie. I really cannot leave the back door open now. It used to be because a hen would wonder in, now the kittens run in any chance they get. Trixie ran in the other day and jumped right up onto the kitchen table, sorry girly cannot have that. Mom and dad seem to have came to a agreement. Get them vetted and fixed, and they can be outside barn cats. Dad's favorite is the long haired one, mom's is the short haired. I am sitting back and saying nothing. In 2 months they will be spoiled house cats you wait and see.

Cats can be a real problem!

Thirsty Thursday

Mr P and Blanche grabbing a sip while I clean the waterers.

And then there are the New Comers, who make a fine bucket of chicken.

And that’s how you move 10 rambunctious chicks from one spot to another.

Yup I can see the writing on that wall!

It is possible if the rooster is gentle. Chiquita likes both Branch and Bubba. She allows both to breed her. When I first saw Bubba breed her I had a meltdown as he is huge. He is so gentle with her though. Raven has 4 or 5 of Chiquita's eggs under her. If they all hatch I will have to wait until they are about 2 weeks old to find out if they are full silkie or not.

Awww I can’t wait to see them

How is your other one getting on?
