    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I've seen them go for flying ants. We have a species here that swarms out winged ones from time to time and the chickens love them. Oddly these weren't winged....unless she found them in the nest (entrance was torn open a bit) and nabbed those before I saw them.....

    Winston strikes me as a good name for a stocky guy. You'll name him when the time is right....and it may or may not be anything under consideration. Meanwhile enjoy him. He's already a looker, and going to get even better. (So is Juice, in an entirely different way.... oooh, don't share this...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I somehow ended up with 3 broodies sharing 20 chicks. Cardhu and PITA sleep together with chicks. But PITA and Focus range together with chcks drifting between them.

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    That's cause we had a rainbow in the incubator. 20 chicks hatched and all 3 broodies adopted them all. The chicks seem to be playing musical mamas....and are a week old.
