Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[fuentemoon]

So today after we got the front door in we had to get organized for DH’s medical appointment trip and get water into the trailer (cause if I’m driving down with him I’m going to get water). While I was doing some quick chores around the yard in preparation for our departure our friends that we are having help with some of the labour started laughing and said out loud “does she even realize she’s being followed around by a giant herd of chickens?” So I turned around and snapped this quick pic… if only they had seen it when it was closer to 100 chickens in the “herd” lol or in the morning, doing the early feeding chores etc! Because honestly as far as huge groups of chickens on my heels goes… this little band of hopefuls is actually pretty small! View attachment 2997352View attachment 2997358

Front door! Such an exciting step in house building

Nestbox Nonsense!!

It's back!!! Your favorite silly game!!! Everyone has decided it is time to start laying eggs again. I have 3 out of 6 six laying and a fourth seems interested in joining the party! Of course with 5 potential nestboxes everyone knows how easy this will be. There is one for every hen. Which will they each choose? There is only one way to find out! Enjoy this 11 minute video. Trust me it is worth watching the mayhem ensue all the way to the end. I will not spoil it by revealing what happens.

Just remember that until today, Phyllis has been laying in the cluckle hut. Sydney laid her first egg in over a month yesterday. Here it is.

Ok, now that it is go time it is time to guess what color will the chicks be. Will they be White, Buff or seeing how it was suggested Chiquita could be some sort of partridge will a partridge chick hatch? The boys she was housed with for these eggs were White, and Buff.

A white, a buff and a partridge

I guess: 2 buff and 1 partridge for the 3

What did I miss? Sorry, I just seem to lose a bunch of threads.

Are you clicking on "Watch thread" so they are easy to get back to @The-White-Elephant ?

I was enjoying some personal time with Buttercup when Pangoo decided to photo bomb the session... Then he decided he didn't like me (my apologies for the ooops word!).

Such a lovely calming tune and then suddenly ".....you little F****r!!"

And my fourth favourite animals… danger noodles! (After goats, chickens, and cats… in no particular order)

Here is a noodle from the zoo especially for you Kris.

A Green tree python if I remember correctly. Not a very dangerous noodle, but very pretty.
