Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sally PB]

The resident predator keeper-awayer thinks it's too cold to go out at night now.

Their run is uncovered, so this could be a big problem. They're gone for 10 days, and another neighbor (her mom) is taking care of the chickens. But she can't be there all the time.

Yay! Congrats on the baby!!!

Just ran out and checked on everyone. All inside the coop on this lovely autumn day. No fluffy butts, since pretty much everyone is molting and looking kinda rough.

When i checked last night Eenie and Uno were tucked up together in a nest box. I figured we'd traumatized them enough moving them in to the big coop, so i left them alone. Ill start moving them to a roost if the keep it up.

Eenie looks no worse for the wear, though she looks just awful. She molts much more she'll be naked!

Uno, however, is turning into a beauty! I think she needs a new name. I was calling her Little Dove as a baby...but now I'm thinking Goldie.

I gave Eenie special mealworm treats on her little perch. Uno even pecked a few from my hand for the first time. It was hard for her, since Eenie is a bit of a crack-head.

Meanie and Sheba aren't molting badly. They are thick as thieves,

Finally, molting and a bit raggedy, my big old boy Tres.

Egg / chick update

There are two! And yes the one will be a frizzle. It seems to be the seeker of the two, even though it was born first. Will keep an eye on her.

Both only have 4 toes so no silkie toes, I think they both have leg feathers but not for sure, but I didn’t want to keep them from mama too long it’s cold here.

And both are white! So I am glad the one is frizzle so I can tell them apart haha!

Very cute!

Are they in your office?

My neighbor just had two chickens killed in her run. Decapitated, but the head was left next to the body. She didn't see any blood left.

I'm thinking raccoon...?

Probably

Obviously not taking good enough care of the chickens.

I've posted about these chickens before. It is very sad. I like these people, but don't like how they care for their birds. I've told hubby if another neighbor can't chicken sit while we go away, I am not going.

Fortunately, another neighbor was able to.
