Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[TOMTE]

I heard a quote that seems to fit me.
“I’m at that age where life stops giving, and starts taking things away” (IJ and the KCS)

Life gives all the time! Sometimes you just need to stop and look a little harder. Every new day is a blessing and something good waiting to happen.

But, but, I keep feeding my chickens, and they only give me poop in return. healthy poops. That’s something I guess!

Geronimo is very taken with the climbing frame. She has been to every level except the very top step.

That's great! Good job Suzu!

There is learning occurring with our resident house chicken.

Niamh was in the house yesterday and Enzo always likes to get a sniff of her tail. Normally, Niamh doesn't care.

Yesterday, she did.

Enzo sniffed her and Nuamh wheeled around. Enzo took a step back. Niamh lowered her head and flared her hackles.

I warmed Enzo to back off. Does he listen?

Nope. He leans in for a sniff of her beak.

Niamh attacks. Into the air, claws coming at Enzo.

Enzo was on the dining room floor and spun out before he was able to get traction and get away but escape successfully he did.

Niamh went over and tossed some cat food out of their bowls into the floor and then went back to her snack.

Enzo did not try to sniff her this morning.

Dogs & cats sniff to "shake hands" to get acquainted ~ Poor Enzo ~ guess it was species misunderstanding!

Eggs, feathers, exercise (hunting for the eggs), and regular hearing checks.

Wouldn’t that be interesting if humans acted that way. Sniff each others———— when meeting someone.

I think Magrat has taken up the mantle of Sybil's BFF. Even though Magrat is still at the bottom of the ladder, Sybil chooses to hang out with her most often, and rarely scolds her. Maybe this new devlopment will give Magrat a boost up the pecking order after all..?
