Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Lovely picture with the sea of green.

I love hanging out with the girls in their pen. It's peaceful and pretty with all of them running around!

My son was a LEO, WSP. He said he dealt with 85% of the worst population, 95% of the time. Sad he got sick and it ended his career, but glad he's out of law enforcement.
Thank you for your service.

WSP??

I absolutely love the stories of y'all/s flocks. I am new at raising.
Only a year. Our place has lots of eagles and hawks so I keep mine in on our house patio at night but they are outside during the day on a 22' x 40' grassy area with 50% shade netting over the area.
We lost one chick in less than 24 hours a year ago but since that day keep real close tabs on them. They originally were out by our horse barn. Too far away. Loss the chick to an owl who just stuck its claw in the 2 inch gap on the cage which was 8 x 10. Decided next to our home was best. Going to build a real coop this fall. We have grown to love our rooster and hen. Our hen is a buff orphington and our rooster was found in a parking lot. Skinny and all. Took him home right away. Want to become better at raising and taking care of our feathered kids. Been real hot in Florida but they love the fans, fresh water daily and treats, raisins, watermelon, strawberries and their usual feed. They come into patio every night at 8pm like clockwork.
Thank you for reading and thank you for sharing your stories.
I want to name our place Heavenly Hens.

Welcome! Sounds like you're off to a good start. I think it's great that you rescued a rooster and gave him a safe home. Please keep sharing your journey. Pictures are always wanted!
