Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Well, here’s the situation:
I found the real Nacho under the table in the front yard. She’s brooding a clutch of eggs. No wonder my neighbor is angry with the situation, his laying hens are all over here. Both of the game hens are working on motherhood.
He will be getting his birds back and more. I’m not keeping any more game Fowl. They aren’t friendly enough for my court.

Situation update: my lawnmower’s noise, spooked the hen off her nest. I’m not sure if she’s coming back. She went back to the neighbors yard screaming at me like I was killing her !

I'm w/you on that page. Trying to incorporate game fowl w/ long domesticated chickens never made sense to me. I mean, I love all animals, but mixing domesticated temperaments w/ wilder game temperaments seems unnatural

Mr. Hand has Treats!

I found today that by filling my hand with a treat and slowly lowering it in was not seriously frightening to them. I was able to clean out their water with no issues.

We still have one hard broody Silkie while all the others were easy to break. Too bad for her she's locked out of the nestboxes like everybody else!

Looks like Georgie is finally quitting being broody.

That’s a lot of eggs for a game hen!

Can you candle them?

With a chicken ornament, of course.

Like this?

No, I meant the chicken that was in your garden!
