Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Seems that Petra dislikes my coat, she won’t fly up onto my arm when I am wearing it.

Must be slippery.

First Snow

Our first snow of the year has arrived. I wonder how Niamh and Tilly are going to feel about it?

We have added a chicken archway to our goats this year.

Well if they are smart they will hunker down in their warm coop and stream online videos the rest of the winter....

Of course we all know youngsters - have to be outside investigating everything, going on safari, hunting any wild game they can find in the snow

Oh that is Fluffy McNugget, of course!

She is a brat, always getting under foot.

Yesterday I had almost every single darn tootin chook in the Summer House watching me put up a wall and a new roosting ledge in what will become the Winter Room. At one point I dropped a 4'x4' sheet of plywood on Cash! Luckily it only fell against the wall, but I received a lot of swearing from her and Mr P. 'Careful you dumb Hooman, what are you clumsy?'.

I tried to make it up to her by giving her a HUGE juicy spider I found, but Jaffarra beat her to the treat! She gulped it down - ewww! Glad I am not a spider!

Did any of them offer to help? No! All I received was complaints from the McNugget Sisters that I was interrupting their roosting time, it was 4pm and I needed to wrap up my activities, get the horses in, and turn out the lights, I was told! sheesh!

I plopped them, and Marty, up on the ledge where they proceeded to watch me finish off the new ledge, giving me advise on how I should have put steps in so they could get up there easier (actually that was a good suggestion, don't tell the I said so) and bed it down for the night 'use more shavings Hooman, don't be so stingy'.

They sure aren't afraid of the circular saw, drill or the odd curse from my dropping things! Like my glasses in poop - ewwwww! Even the Silkie Chicklets had to come by and check to see how I was making out.

That Summer House is not designed to hold 40+ chooks all roosting and watching me work hahahaha - I wish I had taken a photo of them all, it was hilarious.

Brats all of them!

Who’d want to fly up into a puffed marshmallow creature anyways?

It's just an old non-puffy coat but it's blue, not plaid like my flannel shirt I wear in the Fall.

If I put her on my arm she is happy to sit there but won't fly up there.

I bet she has great stories to tell!

Likely was on BeakBook and read about Phyllis' New Year exploits
