Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[lightm]

Thanks! Would you believe I actually have two molting right now? I need to get some buttermilk, which is one way to give them a little boost in their mash. I also snuck them some baby bird formula this past weekend. Need to get some beef liver and unsalted sardines, as well.

Wow, that is so early.

What predators are you dealing with? My problems here have been primarily hawks.

Foxes and weasels. We have an entire fox family and in the middle of the night they sound like they are screaming. They have gotten 4 of ours...

I came in for a cuddle and to see a video on my beakbok

The chooks are still not adapting to the change. They all are more stand-Offish to me, than usual. I’m wondering if they blame me for Rocks-Anne’s demise?
I have had guests over lately, so maybe they are just afraid of humans in general?

Guests. I vote for this one. Whenever people want to see my chickens, they all run like Godzilla is invading. Even Nevada, who is always under my feet when it's just me. They may also still be trying to figure out a new flock order.

Hi Flexi

 

[Ponypoor]

Alright! I have 14 beautiful chickens, used to have 20 but over the years, you know... Anyway, I have one RIR rooster, and 3 RIR ladies, Rudolphia, Meg, and Turnip. I have one Plymouth Rock named Lisa. One huge dark Brahma named Fluffers. 2 White Sussex’, named Angela and Twin of Angela. I have 3 Americauna’s, named Pam, Meredith, and Phillis. 2 Wellsummers named Donald and Trump. And finally, a Golden Laced Wyandotte. Her name is Dotty.

All of my chickens are so very kind. They will walk right over to me and get down so o can pet them. I love chickens like crazy but I am struggling because of predators.

They sound lovely do you have pics?

We all hear you on predation.... Hawks, eagles, fox, coyotes, bears and weasel, to name a few that plague some of us

Flexi was off me for a long time when Amber died but she really enjoyed her cuddles today and had a good peck of pomegranate after

It's always the parents fault when things go wrong even when it rains
