    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    W/ every animal having individuality ~ putting any two together for the first time will result in different dynamics. The fact that Oliver & Nancy don't engage in tussles is encouraging. I've had a cat & dog that were never seen anywhere near each other, yet my Mom's Toulouse & my Olde Boston...

    Very innovative! Tap on the nipple to start a drip or two. They'll see the drip & catch on.

    You probably didnt need to keep checking on the chicks when driving. They constantly chirp & mutter all the time anyway. Even w/ a passenger to hold the chickbox in the lap, the chicks never stop peeping. DH had our Dom chicks in our pet carrier & they would stop peeping only when he put his...

    Nice to hear the sand works for you ~ pros & cons are all true but still one of our favourite choices. We only have the outdoor 4'x4' sandbox under a 10'x10' popup tent to protect box from broiling summer sun & winter rains ~ but it is a favourite chicken hangout ~ cool shaded sand in the summer...

    We placed our chick nipple waterer elevated on a brick with the nipple over the edge, no need to hang, never got knocked over either ~ 3 Silkie chicks at the waterer at the same time (monkey see/monkeys all do!) Rent-a-Coop chick quart waterer

    Sebrights are so tiny to be mixing w/standard roos. Did you have a plan about that? You certainly have the space for separate pens. All bantams are too adorable to resist :D

    Mail isn't stolen but USPS & FedEX have delivered to wrong houses☹️ Some neighbors have locked mailboxes but none of our important business is by mail 📬 so no longer need to spend $$$ on a P.O.B. just cuz of USPS incompetence. Things that were stolen most recently in our neighborhood have been...

    Sweet of you to ask... but no, neither my old sis nor I can do art or crafting any more ~ she's blind, while arthritis has hit my fingers! She & I used to have pretty handwriting too ~ now all we do is sit & talk about our aches, pains, doctors, & therapy appts :lau How do Nancy Rose & Oliver...

    As for surgery... don't forget to factor in the time for scheduled therapy too. I'm still in therapy over 6 months after my arm surgery but it is so worth it if you can have sessions💕.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Bored chickens might peck at marine paint so we never painted our little coop. The 12" paver stones floor keeps chickens from digging holes to China & keeps the coop frame from sinking in muddy soil. Even in downpours our coop stayed relatively sturdy... so much so that after 4 yrs of us using...

    Yes, buried wood rots. For 4 years we elevated our first (wood) coop off bare ground by using 12" paver stones as a foundation. We don't get much rain here so this worked for us.

    Your work is custom & people have no idea what that entails... plus your time, materials, S+H is $$$ too. My opinion is you're too reasonable... but then price ranges in Calif are probably different from price expectations in other states? Love OUR handled custom Silkie basket from you 💕 The...
