Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

We placed our chick nipple waterer elevated on a brick with the nipple over the edge, no need to hang, never got knocked over either ~ 3 Silkie chicks at the waterer at the same time (monkey see/monkeys all do!)

Very nice. Not sure there is room for something like that in the little tent in my bathroom!

And she’s out. Managed to catch her before she fell off the table.
This lot are mean to each other. Yesterday cookies was picking on everyone - but in particular Buckeye.
Today Buckeye is getting her own back and is also determined to pull out chippy’s eye stripes!

Just like human siblings, then!

Feels more like a WWE event to me right now!

Oh dear. The UPS mailer turns out to be no match for Geronimo - here she is assessing the height before backing up and running and flapping.
She got her toes onto the top before I batted her back!

Tassels has no idea what she has in store for herself!

Hahahaha - sounds fairly normal to the shinanigans around here!

I threw feed into the shavings so they could ‘hunt’ for their food, drain off their energy digging. Have you tried that?

Good idea. Only a few hours ago I was just focused on making sure they could eat and drink. Now I have to drain off energy!
I am still a bit worried about chippy. I think she has a mild prolapse. So far though she seems fine but I still haven’t caught her pooping normally.

Sebrights are so tiny to be mixing w/standard roos. Did you have a plan about that? You certainly have the space for separate pens. All bantams are too adorable to resist

I have wee Mrs LC running with everyone, she gets annoyed she flies up high and tells them off hahaha - Mr P can fly but he rarely does now. I find the littles are faster and can hide better than the big gals. Even the silkies are fast and nimble!
