Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

The Order

The pecking order here remains quite obvious. Most of you should know that I stopped watching roosting a long time ago because of how nasty Aurora can be. Last night I was checking to make sure everyone was safe in the coop when i caught Aurora at work. I'm putting this behind a spoiler because it is not for the faint of heart.

I had checked in twice because the first time Hattie was not in the coop. On my first check Lady Featherington and Aster were on the low roost in front of the heat panel. When we check in this time you will see they are now in the high roost with Sydney. Im pretty certain they moved to avoid Aurora. Hattie was probably not in the coop because Aurora was keeping her out.

If you don't want to see poor Hattie picked on, don't watch this video. She is the only hen Aurora can reach.

Spoiler: Aurora at Work

I share this so everyone is reminded how Aurora maintains her position through brute force and terror at roosting time. She is not all warm and friendly.

I couldn't watch the whole thing.

Love the stories and the pictures. Keep loving those chickens. Ours stay until natural death as well.

I do understand. It is rough. Hattie is no threat to anyone but Aurora doesn't care.

I'm glad to hear that. It is a commitment we make when we bring them into our lives.

Good evening everyone. Sorry I haven't really had time this weekend to respond. I have some projects to finish. When it comes up that I haven't responded, it's usually late at night before I go to sleep. So here's a slightly old photo of Tony that you've might've seen before.

Hi! Haven't been here for a long time. No way in the world to catch up, so I'm just jumping in for a while. Loving all the pics of the beautiful hens and roos.
