Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

A Long Soak

Sometimes you just want to get into the tub and soak for while. It's not about getting clean it's about letting the cares of the world soak away. All this group needed was wine and candles yesterday. These are the least energetic dust baths I have ever seen!

Yesterday we built the girls a new climbing frame from an old pallet and some branches donated by our neighbour who asked if the girls would like them.

They have shown a lot of interest and enjoy the high perch

That looks wonderful! I'm sure they will love it. Perhaps some photos of them enjoying it is in order.

They sure were yesterday. Out free ranging from dawn to dusk. I think that's why they felt they had time to burn in the bath.

Priorites: eat, range, poop, lounge. Sounds about right lol.

Is it crazy hot in the summer? It actually gets pretty hot here, snd I’m sure it’s hotter there.

You are probably right. In the Valley there is no mountain breeze, just plain heat!

This is my alpha hen, Delta, first of her name, Queen of the coop, ruler of the high roosts, dispenser of harsh justice and all round meanie.

she is investigating a new diversion I made for them, I wired a load of pine cones to an upturned wooden hanging basket. I’ve been scattering feed and corn amongst all the pine cones to make them work harder for their treatsView attachment 2143256

Work? No wonder she's an "angry bird"

It was only yesterday when I said about Charlie being flighty and she was “not a lap chicken”

Well she is making me out to be a liar!!
