Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

I’ll have to take your word for it. It didn’t work for my chooks.
It’s easier to rake the poop off the floor (for me anyways)

As long as you wear your dust mask when you clean...momma says!

I got rid of my roosts and put in roosting ledges, they are about 30” in Hen House A and 24” in Hen House B.

I find I have less drama and squabbling now. And it’s easy to clean, which I do daily.

Right off the corner of the porch, I can see into the run from the kitchen easily. We will put the anti-dig barrier down another day.

Now for the chickerdoodles!

Sweet Chocolate is one of the "door crowd" and runs over as soon as I come near the door.

Yeti checking in. She rushes the door and tries to climb my arm out.

Sweetness galore! Do you think Periwinkle is a girl or boy?

Good morning! I took some pictures of a full egg basket yesterday afternoon!

Look at all the pretty colors!

@Ponypoor it's been so nice out I've been spending most of my time outside. The sun and crisp air are healing.
I will get you chick pics soon. First off...

Teaser for a big post coming up after kiddo goes to bed. We have lots of energy today.

Glittery! It's a disco coop!

Me and Magrat just had the best cuddle sesh... So much snuggling and lovins. She was smacking her beak and settling in so comfy cozy and I gave her sooo many kisses on her comb.

I love my chickens

Looks like Slowpoke is doing well!
That coop is very cute, but they aren’t all going to fit in there - do you have several more coops?

Yes, we have the original tall coop, run, and run extension. Might have to divide the chicks into two groups until hubby gets the posts up in the big run.

I hope Periwinkle is a girl!
