Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I would love some big boulder accent pieces - but they would probably look pretty weird here as there aren’t any other rocks around.
And come on people, all this talk of rocks and we aren’t getting any chicken rocks thrown back at us?

Here’s some Rocks! “Back atcha”

It has now been 48 hours since a hen fight and my flock has a new queen. I thought yesterday the matter was settled and today when I threw out some scraps to the chickens I realized it finally was. Raven has firmly established herself as head of my flock. I tossed out cornbread, pineapple chunks and half a pork chop tore up from them. She firmly planted herself right in the middle of the prize food pile and ate her fill. No one was allowed to snatch a bite until she had finished half of it herself then she allowed the others to come share. Holly was there, and she did not even try to bully her way in until Raven allowed the others to start eating. Most importantly Raven held all the hens at bay without a single peck. She simply ran up to the pile and all the hens backed away. Finally after almost 3 weeks of uproar and chaos peace has returned to my flock. Now that the new queen has been crowned I am curious. Will my faithful trusted broody hang up her hat for rearing chicks.

Long live Queen Raven!

I really am having a great birthday today. Usually I like to be alone, by myself and not be bothered, but today seems different than previous birthdays. Lots of kind greetings from friends and family. And the chooks are behaving themselves today. (I wonder what could be wrong, that I haven’t noticed yet?)

May her reign be long (I was going to add peaceful but it’s chickens we are talking about here, )

The great protector

Oh yes, I’m the great Protector,
Protecting the flock is my task,
I seem to be, what I’m not don’t you see,
Protecting from life dangers, see,
Protecting from that killer bunnnny…

Allow me to explain:

God save the queen! Long may she reign.

Happy Birthday!!!

So I went and let Eenie and the triplets out and I decided it's time to let them fend for themselves. They don't seem inclined to go in the run and Manny doesn't seem inclined to go in their little cage, even though he could, so I left them out and came in. I'll check them again in a bit.

Yesterday I had a ton of fun with the mealworms...greedy little buggers. Finally got YouTube to cooperate.

Well, she is a little rock from Hoover's Hatchery. Now she a Little Rock from Kentucky.
