Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I tried that, but we have too many stray cats in my compound. Imagine what my chooks would smell like, playing in a kitty litter sewer?

Not sure what your setup was for sand... the cats don't use the sandbox during the day while the hens are out & about... so since stray cats are nocturnal wanderers we cover the sandbox at dusk w/ a thick beach pad ~ no more cat poop.

The new ones here had a dust bath at two weeks old or so (Mareks vaccinated as day-olds) of non-chicken forest soil.

Our chicks decided to use their chick grit to dust bathe.

The Littles are over 5 weeks old now and Tassels is still ruling over them with an iron beak. She summoned them to teach them about corn on the cob. They were very diligent at their lesson!
They are growing some really pretty patterns. And meanwhile Sylvie lost her tail overnight and somehow still manages to look elegant!

I have taken Sir Jaffar with me in the SkyHawk. I believe that that little beautiful rooster,really has gone where no rooster has gone before! (Cue the StarTrek music)

Are there air pressure, ear-popping, problems flying or is there pressure controls? I was thinking for chickens?

Everyone loves a Cochin. It’s the feathered feet that makes a hooman heart melt!

... & fluffy feathers, & fluffy crests... & bushy tails on Silkies!
