    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Thanks. I figured that was probably the case but you know I do worry! Otherwise she seems aggressively healthy. Her feathers are shiny and she is charging around in the undergrowth catching bugs. She is so far in I can’t see her even though I am sitting in the chicken yard - but I can hear...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I have let Tassels out on a trial release. So far so good. But she is still making broody noises and flaring up. But she hasn’t gone back to the nest for several hours and she is running around in the Goldenrod and Artemesia forests. I had forgotten that she is quite bold towards me. She...

    Happy Friday everyone. I struggling to get fluffy butt shots - best I have managed so far today. Tassels is still in jail and doing her best to persuade me she is done with being broody. ‘Honestly Mom, I have seen the error of my ways. You should let me out of jail so I can prove that going...

    I have more nest boxes than hens and they still fight over one. Strangely, not always the same one.

    Some other kind of grass has gone to seed and the ladies are having a fine old time eating it and refuse to pose for Thirsty Thursday.

    Let me understand something. All you horse people actually do this for fun? Just reading the above terrifies me!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Yes. It is the 21 days leading up to that. I worry for her health. Maybe next time she will be better - but this time she only ever left the nest if hauled out by me or encouraged out by Piglet when they were broody together. Right now she is determined to hatch a length of 2x4 I provided in...

    I am wondering about that. I don’t love that she ignores self care entirely without my prompting.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    OK. That’s it. Tassels is back in lock-up. She sat for 22 days. 23 if you count the first day. She has lost just over 12% of her body weight and the last two days she wouldn’t stay out long enough to eat when I hauled her out. Once Piglet stopped being broody Tassels stopped getting off the nest...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I am truly in awe of your ability. I am a pretty good cake maker - I make different kind of cakes from the ones you make - i substitute a lot of the flour with ground nuts which makes them moister and more dense than many traditional cakes. I like to make up new flavor combos - my personal...
