Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

We love Ellie a ridiculous amount. She just turned 1.

As for Sheba, she is still off, though she seems a bit perkier this morning. But her posture is just wrong. Here's the video.

Here's a pretty good still.

This is not how she looked, even a couple days ago. This was taken the 23rd.

This is her normal stance. This was taken 3 months ago.

She acts fine really. She didn't eat the scratch I tossed to get the video, but neither did the others. My husband says they're holding out for tomatoes.

It's been suggested Manny injured her? Maybe I should move him to give her a break? I still have the little coop from when they were small. It's not big enough, but 1 randy rooster would fit fine.

Yes I see what you mean, I have no experience with this unfortunately.

The others will likely have some ideas. Manny could be there er breeding her, I see her back feathers are missing.

Her and Eenie both. And the back of her neck too. But now Eenie's brooding and so it's just Sheba and Meanie. In comparison, Meanie is practically unruffled. No missing feathers anywhere.

She's just pristine and proud.

I know 3 hens to one roo isn't the best ratio, but I never expected to have a rooster at all. I didn't really think it would be so bad on the hens (at least 2 of them).

And hide and seek

Hector is working hard at courting the older ladies. The babies are paying attention too. He even stepped on and held down some of the longer grasses so the babies could reach the seeds. He also stripped some seeds off and handed them to the babies.

View attachment 3556119Whiskey got in on the teaching the babies, too.

Cheetah hasn't interacted with them as much, but he's more often the 1st to sound an alarm. The alarm gets picked up by Whiskey and/or Hector, closer to the coop/where ever the babies are at.

Beautiful chickens at the end of all the hide n seek photos, love this post.
