Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[janiedoe]

I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t spent enough time with the big girls. They have been fighting each other. Dakota has been trying to get that rooster from next door to show her attention.

The heart wants what the heart wants. I'm sure he isn't a bad guy, he's just following his rooster instincts.

When I take the littles out of the brooder box, they kick and scream, but less than five minutes, they are all completely comfortable on my lap and watching tv. Then when it’s time for bed, same thing. Kicking and screaming. I don’t know what to do, they need space to stretch their muscles.

The chicklets want to be with you! You are a very good father to them.

Phew. Lumina went broody, but still laying eggs. She pulls the broody stance and yells when someone goes close to her. Also the characteristic buk-buk-buk.

That’s what Tippy did, she would spend hours in the nestbox, lay her eggs scream obscenities at me if I even looked at her. Even Raven left her alone!

One day I grabbed her and chucked her away from some grain and the look she gave me! I tell you I really was a bit scared - like the time this big thoroughbred mare gave me a look and lifted her hind leg threatening to kick me!

Tippy looked at me with her head cocked to one side her eyes flashing dilated and contracted fast in anger - jeeeez! I backed down

Mugs Monday.
Day late. Take it or leave it. And get out of my nest.

I would have to bring the whole entourage of the six. For now, they are inseparable.

Ok the more the merrier

What about Coco ?

Coco is a special case. She’s not a chook (she thinks) she’s a little feathered Labrador retriever.

Sadly she doesn’t do car rides well.
