Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Yes, it is hard to see. Hopefully it is temporary. At one point Shehnai was standing out in the rain because he was getting so harassed in the run. I did think though his feathers were keeping most of him dry (just his head was wet, and it was summer). Is she getting ambushed? Can she see it coming, or is her head poof grown back too much? When will she come into lay, as that might help?

She is not getting ambushed anymore as her head is on a swivel. It is good training for predators. She can see fine although I do want to trim her up some more. Her and Niamh spend most of the day together which is good.

One benefit to the rain, Niamh slept in the coop on her own last night.

As the rain is supposed to continue today, I have closed them all into the complex together. No free range time. This will keep Tilly dry today.

Sometimes I am so disappointed in my chickens. They have been so mean to Tilly that she was too afraid to come in out of the rain today.

The big girls were in the big run.

Niamh was in the porch talking to Tilly. Tilly came over to the porch but would not go in. She is too afraid of Aster and Lady Featherington to be in the same small space with them.

Why do they have to be so darn mean?

Mine hate my Polishes too. We are going to set them up with their own space (the chicken trailer park is growing) when I get my cousin's coop. Then I'll move the marshmallows out with them too. Right now they're in the brooder coop seperated.
