    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    So sorry about the nest destructions/broody attacks. Silkies are a gentle bunch here but I have no idea what Silkie mixes temperaments are like. Weather influence is an interesting idea/explanation. I know overcrowding in the animal kingdoms can bring on turf wars. We have been so happy w/ our...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Tomato plants are very unwieldy fast tall growers. Better Boy is a great hybrid & does well earlier in the summer; however, temps near/over 90F impairs the health of ANY vine veggies. The only reason our garage wall is good for veggie gardening is because it's on the north wall & gets shaded...

    Yes, there are a lot of Maple varieties & I'm fairly sure these freeway landscape leaves are Maple blowing into our neighborhood yards.

    That's wise... it's good to know which breeds are best not to mingle. Bantam breeds can get easily picked on especially the gentle Silkies, bantam Cochins, or Pekins.

    In the American Poultry/Bantam Assns, there are different approved colors for bearded & non-bearded Silkies. The bearded are cute w/their full crests/beards; however the non-bearded vision is so much better for the bird & wattles are not huge or pendulous. Keiko ~ Moorhead (Partridge)

    TeeHee... chickens love anything we don't want them to touch! Tomatoes? Grow the ones that are recommended for your growing zone which is guessing between zones 3-4? As for me I always get the same two varieties for years which are the hybrid Better Boy and heirloom Roma ~ my favorites for...

    I want to cry. It's so heartbreaking to feel powerless to help. Maybe a pharmacy in town or an Amazon delivery you can get syringes for draining her fluids? Pony might know the best sizes?
