Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yes. And she's demonstrated her willingness to make the youngens toe the line with nothing more than a LOOK.

Partridge (and barred) rocks are like that - clearly in charge, but generally benevolent unless otherwise needed. (i.e. The look that says: Don't make me peck you - because if I have to come over there - i'll make it worth my while!)

This afternoon I will get time to start the black-out process on the Chicken Palace. I am going to use a combination of carboard, black landscape fabric and fix it all with painter's tape. All stuff I have kicking around.
I realize it is a big job: 5 windows and 3 glass doors - all human size.
As if to warn me that my efforts will be wasted Babs got up at 3am last night and went to lay an egg. There was no moon so it was really dark.
I plan to also turn off the cameras at night - in theory their detectors are of a wavelength that she cannot see - but just in case!
Wish me luck!

I missed something. Why are you blacking out the coop?

Well I am asking myself that. I want to try and make things darker to see if I can get Babs to take a break from her daily egg laying. Trying to make the shortest days even shorter!

Oh I have plenty of freeloaders of my own!

I'm going to gamble that Hattie doesn't lay more than 10 eggs next year. I don't know that I got that many from her this year. She has earned her freeloader status the hard way.

Respect to my sweetheart.

It was literally yesterday I posted that video of him running from her! He must have heard me saying to grow a little backbone.

I would observe and see what’s up, it may not be him that is the problem.

She is a good elder then Penelope is like that - one look and they ‘move along’.

She's very much got that 'tude!

Hey, feather number 213864 is slightly out of place. You might want to tell Hattie that.
