Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I heard the Wyandotte attempt to crow just now. Kinda sounded like a mouse being hit with a hammer. Poor little guy

@Pastel the Rooster I have not had a chance to catch up on what with you and the rooster, but I was tagged by a couple folks because of my multilevel coop. It’s an old playhouse turned into a chicken coop. I

don’t know what your current set up is like. Is it that when you and the rooster have problems when you are in the same space? It might be easy and economical for you to build a chunnel off his run that he can retreat to if/when needed. Or would that not work with your set up?

Most of my problems occur with Pastel in my coop, yes. It’s a small place. It’s really just a run with a roosting ladder at one end, and an old cabinet at the other. The cabinet was a brooding area for Willow when the raised the TSC chicks, and it’s blocked off with a little hoop run. I keep the door to it open though. It’s more narrow there than it is on the other end because of the hoop.
I have a TSC coop that is connected to my run by a little tunnel, so if he wanted, he could go in there. Unfortunately, whenever he is in there and I walk by the tunnel to feed the girls, he jumps out and attacks my leg.
I’m going to get trash out of an unused and unfinished part of the coop today, and I’ll see if I could try to work on a bigger addition to my coop.

Winter weather notification (I can't keep track of the differences between warnings, advisories, and the 3rd one)...

View attachment 3841065We don't usually get the flakes that make quarters look small...View attachment 3841064This morning we are.

View attachment 3841069We need the moisture.

It’s only May so I guess we can both expect Wild weather.

And you’re right it’s moisture!

For some reason nobody was thirsty today - even though it is hot and Thursday.
So all I got was sunbathing.
Piglet likes to make sure both sides are evenly tanned.

Piglet is so pretty. I love her "hair do"!

Cuckoo is still with us.

Babies freaked out over the snow. This is a good one to introduce them to it.

I never liked my regular schools. From an average junior in high school, I had already had the credits for college entrance. So I did it! Made many of the students and teachers angry with me. But so what. In college I received straight A’s and a nice new career!

I’m going to be taking college credit classes. I took high school credit classes before I got into high school. Spanish I and Spanish II and Physical Science. And they were all honors classes. I got B’s in all of them, unfortunately. Makes me mad that I couldn’t get A’s in them.

Thank you!
I got one of my own

Your girls are so stunning. I know you’ve said it before, but what breeds are all of them? You have two legbar’s, right?
