Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RebeccaBoyd]

After we get back from mom's dr appointment I have to get new pictures of Adele today. This morning I thought for sure she was going to have a sex change and become Julio. I let the chicks out, she hops up on the tote and went through the motions of crowing without making a sound. Wattles are redder although not much bigger. I will not let my suspicions be known to my brother and Rosie. Right now they both claim she failed them. She had one job, she was supposed to be a boy according to them. Those 2 fight over whose chicken she belongs to. They both claim her. Rosie who fell in love with Bert wants a Mr. P son of her own. My brother, he has his own reasons why she must be a boy. He also has never claimed any of my chicks before, this one is his and he wants a boy.

Someone is crowing and it sounds hilarious.

Guess Tricksy is actually a Trickster.

I’d gladly send Rosie Bert if I could

He really is a good boy, it just makes so mad and bewildered as to why they have started this feud. Mr P has never been aggressive or picked fights before.

Lately he has been such a Beast! I caught him going after the young pullets who werent even ready for breeding. Though Jaffarra has joined the ‘hen’ band; she did let Mr P habe his wicked ways with her; AND it was absolutely hilarious watching Mr LC trying to breed her


He was so small compared to her, he wasn’t even close to the mark. But he sure knows what to do. And Jaffarra was more than willing - he wooed her with a lovely wing dance. He’s got the moves!

If we ever let them venture out of the run, that electric poultry netting will definitely be a thing.

TY for the good wishes!

DH was talking chicken wire for another project in the yard & I said no. It's not for our chickens but I don't care! I cringe whenever I hear "chicken wire" ~ might as well use tissue paper for a useless project!

It's pretty flimsy for sure. Hardware cloth will cover coop windows and skirt the bottom. But we're pretty content with tissue paper elsewhere. For now at least.

Liara and Ash have had enough of mean girl Morinth. She attacked our new orange and white pullet, and those two BOWLED her over and ran all of them to opposite ends of the run. I guess they don't want anyone else to end up in the crockpot...

Otherwise integration is going well! Nyx, Cocoa, and Mud are tootling around the smaller run with occasional ventures out or check-ins from the big hens. Ash really wants all of the older chicks to be together, but they won't listen to her.

As for the littles, I already see some pink combs haha. I'll try to get pics later.

I made the mistake of walking out into the yard with bare feet. I thought I had (hoped to find) mud stuck to the bottom of my foot, but as luck would have it…,
It wasn’t mud.

I go barefeet in my backyard all the time. You can guess what I step on.
