Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Pooh has started a boycott of bed time.
It is ten minutes to dark. The normal routine is I come in and give them a treat inside the Chicken Palace so I can count them all in and lock up.
Pooh has the zoomies and has now recruited Calypso and Piglet and they are flying around outside in the dusk and totally ignoring me.
I need them to come in. It is the hour of the fox, coyote, raccoon and skunk.
I am also freezing cold standing here waiting for them!

Is your electric fence put away for the season, or not on? Or they are outside of it?

Little dusting, huh?

It’s her night tonight. She’s a beautiful spec-of-mine and she is the last of my original tribe. She trusts me to do what I need to do and still love on me after.
She’s treated like the queen she is.
My Hen-Rietta, sister to the infamous Beetov-Hen. Princesses of Cluckingham Shire and kingdom.

She’s even more beautiful, when she’s cooing in my ear (so softly)
This bird is the reason why people should slow down and smell the flowers once in awhile!

Like powdered sugar on donuts. Less than an inch. It flicked flakes all day. I stayed in crocs.

You wear crocs in the snow?

When it's that shallow, it not worth the time to switch to boots. Boots are for when it's at least deep enough to reach the leather of the sneakers if not the laces. BTW, Crocs makes boots too. Those are on my wish list...maybe for Christmas.

Edit for tax pic

Cardhu and Nellie

Are you kidding?…
No she’s good, but I noticed she would step carefully with her bad foot. All she wants to do right now is sleep. So she’s inside the chickens room on a carpet perch.

Can you put one of those wraps others have used with the ‘corn’ pads for cushioning?

Crocs?! Wow I am in my winter boots here - brrrr! I’m a wimp haha.

There’s a black spot on the sore area that might be the cause

Blanche has one of those, but she isn’t lame. So I just leave it alone. But I don’t let her jump down from the roost in the morning.
