Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Oh, gosh. What crazy chickens you have! Mine are nowhere close to that behavior.
On second thought, maybe yes.

She's a card.

Wind driven snow is like sand - it gets into everything. But it looks like you have pretty much got it mostly solved.

Sometimes it’s just next to impossible to stop drifting, and you have to just accept the fact it’s as good as it can get.

From what I can see it looks like you did a darn good job

I think she did a barn good job

Thanks

I can just hear Mr P yelling “Kelly, oh Kelly!” Like on YouTube

Let me know if you need dosing.

Bob, I have to dose myself every morning, but I’m pretty sure that you won’t be able to assist me with that.

Chicken eyelashes? Not really ~ maybe some teeny tiny feathers over the eyelid but not truly eyelashes like an ostrich or a secretary bird.

So what do the birds have instead of eyelashes? They do need to protect their eyes somehow right?

For the protection of their eyes, they have a perfectly built system that consists of extra eyelids that act like a built-in goggle.

So they have the upper and the lower lids just like us, and then an extra eyelid beneath the outer eyelids, which is called the nictitating membrane.

It comes down like a visor in a car to protect the eyes of the bird from foreign airborne particles.

A good rooster calls the abandoned babies over with good treats and teaches them from there...

Don’t expect me to tidbit those meally worms for the little ones!
I don’t want them in my mouth!

Seems like they close their eyes when they peck at feed

They are scared to death of me, (unless I have treats.)

Treats ~ the training tool of chickeneers

Mama has returned to her littles. The integration of chooks here is crazy at perch time in the evening.
Looks like they want to kill each other, but that’s just the way of the chicken.
Nacho’s littles names are:
Queso (cheese)
Pueno ( jalapeño )
Frijole (bean)

Can you tell them apart?
