Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Well in good news, nobody was freaked out about the big orange umbrella. Everyone is settling down to roost quite happily.
But hilariously Sylvie has decided she wants to roost. So she has moved to the branch perfectly positioned to poop all night on my wrap. I guess she is telling me exactly what she thinks of my efforts!

Still I am happy because roosting on wood has got to be better than bare metal when the temperature plummets.

Wow! Adelaide! It must be summer for you while the rest of us in the No. Hemisphere are freezing our tushes here!

Yes, it's summer with temperature highs low-mid 30C, which is quite a mild summer for us. We usually have highs in the 40s. I love looking at all the snow in people's photos!

I have my doubts about it being Rudy. I’m waiting for a positive description before I leave the house. I can recognize Rudy from a picture.

it might be faster just to go down there

Bare metal can cause frostbitten toes. Glad you wrapped it even if she's not happy with you.

I’m chicken sitting at the moment, or I would make that 40 minute drive to the animal shelter.
The others are outside in the yard free ranging

What is it about chairs to roost on? My computer chair ~ when Tova was ready for bed she didn't care if I was sitting on it, she jumped up & squeezed behind my back to snooze w/hanging head. She was our ailing bird, no cure for avian leukosis, so we let her do whatever made her happy till she passed at 6 months.

Glad she had a lovely life with you

Had the family over, my cousin’s youngest held the smallest

and largest of the chooks

That Roo is as big as she is! Shirley was a BIG hit

I call this “happy times”!

Yes. That is exactly what I was worried about. Just hope she doesn't hold a grudge!

Looks like a budding chicken-helper for you!
