Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Ouch! TG you got there!!! Maybe the roo's are still a little young to know how to defend yet? Orps are just so sweet, stocky, slower, easy prey. Love them, but we chose skittish more agile breeds for our open yard cuz of all the Cooper's breeding in the area. Any chicken is a target, but give me a lithe or skittish bird for better escape chances. We've made a lot of hiding areas but still, those hawks are crafty hunters.

All my OEGB’s chose me. I never thought my coop would be housing Game birds. But, that is that!

Great news. Elsa has returned home. She was next door, but climbed a tree to fly back over the fence. She’s a rascal!

I believe that's an AI photo.

It’s been colour enhanced. No colour photos in his time!

Now that's loyalty!

Owl felt a bit emasculated by the hawk and tackled kiddo...Owl is no more. Kiddo is unhurt other than her feelings. Riddick sees her in her puffy coat and still calls her with his special "bucket kid" sound...so I know there are roosters who will be fine...I just hope kiddo avoids trauma while we search for that kidproof roo.

I definitely have some ideas for flightier birds to add when we have broody hens out there. Cinnabun is close to laying, maybe she'll go broody in spring.

It probably is... but Churchill did have a bulldog "Dodo" & one named "Barley" ~ there is a resemblance in both! He also had poodles?

Here goes. As told by the resident feline at Chartwell (Churchills place).

He had two miniature red poodles named Rufus and Rufus II.
