Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Shehnai has been pursuing and "playing" with his sisters. He only jumped one once while I was out there, he seems to be mostly respecting what they want. Twice I've seen him approach and stand near a pullet so that his shoulder is next to her back half. She objected and moved away. He's not doing footwork like a dance, but the general positioning sort of looks like the beginnings (maybe).

They are 22 weeks old today.

Oh also I changed the position of the back walker and board, to 90 degrees from where it is now.

It looks like he's trying to get them to come off the perches.

Notice how he leads one to follow and then doubles back!

Is she good about going into the dog house? It's so great that you do that for her.

Well, not yet. And I just learned that the new punch shavings I got that are really course are hard for her to navigate. So I think I’m gonna remove them from the little dog house and just fold it up for now. And rake away the course shavings from it so she doesn’t have trouble getting to it.

How was everyone's weekend? Today was my mother's birthday. I don't have any new chicken photos. I haven't gotten to them lately but here's an old photo from the summer because I miss summer and the warm weather. With daylight savings time and the weather getting colder, I guess I'm just going to have to wait.

This daylight savings time is really messing with my head! Maybe I should just move to Arizona!
Kidding of course

Why can’t I just have normal chickens? Dakota is anything but normal
