Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I just received a phone call from the sheriff’s office. They say that they have apprehended a vagrant rooster, matching the description of Rudy my lost roo.
But they have him in a kennel and said they will hold him for 72 hours (legally) if he’s my rooster buddy, I will pay all his fines and court fees, if necessary and bring him back home. If he isn’t my rooster, I won’t take him. I don’t want to train another rooster for fear that he’ll be violent with humans

You could always contain him somewhere else

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.

Thing is, high hopes and then great expectations all to fall on disappointment. My heart can’t take much more

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

Yet another Kelly in the making.

Good evening everyone.

I got some wonderful chicken news that I wanted to share with you all.

Today I started working a few days a week at a local diner. The lady who owns it is my friend who also runs the horse shows each summer. She is now short staffed and she called me Wednesday asking if I would come in a few days a week. I do not mind it and will probably end up working full time once her new diner is open and she moves locations as it will be bigger. She is the person who I gave Karen too after the last horse show.

Betty popped in for a few minutes today and she gave me a huge hug and said she loved Karen. Karen has made herself at home, has a nice coop, her own Rooster and a little black hen for a companion. Karen is the boss and while with me she earned her name, she has turned into a hen who loves to be handled and is spoiled. Then I heard the news that makes me want to cry happy tears. My ever broody Karen who always chose the wrong time or spot to go broody which lead to fights breaking her, is a Momma. She went to setting within a month and has 2, 2 month old solid black chicks. She snuck into her hay loft to hide and go broody. They found her right away and instead of breaking her they placed the top of a dog kennel over her and dared anyone to mess with her. She is apparently the best little momma and even though her chicks are huge now she is still hanging onto them and has taught them to roost where they still snuggle under her wings at night. I'm hoping to have pictures in a few days to share with you all. I miss her as she was a good hen, but I clearly did the best thing for her. If I still had her she would still not be a momma which has been that girls mission in life.

Awwww.
