    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That is most clearly too large to be a mere raccoon… larger looking even than a bobcat. Must be either a cougar or a more likely a wolverine, as it looks far too shaggy for a feline

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    When their eyes glow like that… you know you’re in real trouble. Bob, you’ve angered the queen, and the indignity! You must be well and truly ashamed!

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    If it’s any consolation we had sleet, hail, and snow today… someone needs to remind Mother Nature that we don’t do that here! 😂 my delicate Canadian constitution is not equipped for that sort of weather. The (very light) hail terrified the goats, but all the chickens had the good sense to take...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I’ve had silver, bright metallic blue, and a “lovely” floral patterned one… 😂 but my mom prefers this lovely brass colour, and it’s the only one we currently have. I usually extend them out as tall as possible for chicken use. They often end up slightly run over by trucks or tractors, and once...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Bribing the predators with the famous “mouse steaks”? I love it!!! I had a pretty reasonable relationship with the Raccoons on Saturna, but I e yet to see anything other than tracks here. We don’t have foxes or coyotes here in the islands.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I like bright coloured aluminum walking canes for “chicken sticks”… you can herd, use the handle like a shepherd’s crook or behind the legs for the step up roosting in a tree retrieval, and it makes a great weapon for threatening and chasing off eagles, raccoons, mink, dogs, etc… helps we always...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Mine had zero issues with mustard, or hot sauce… I tried all sorts of concoctions and the only real solution for me was roll away nest boxes for the egg eaters and getting them all in one coop.

    That is NOT a pony! Or welcome… but they do make very nice coats…

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Thanks, I printed these off, and tried to match the font on my stamp when I changed the location the best I could… I actually got them off Etsy from a designer down in South Carolina, of all places! 😂 she has a lot of cute designs and a ton of wedding stuff as well, I think that’s where the main...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well, I’ve been following along ok, mostly keeping up here so far, but haven’t been chatting too much as not much has been happening here on North Beach Farms. Unfortunately that has recently changed. Last weekend a Raccon incursion happened in the pre-existing coop and one of the three hens...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I’m not 100% certain… it was either an Eagle, or possibly a fight with Hannibal (the youngest of my three boys). It happened the first day I left the new house for a couple hours to go get groceries and other stuff. I came home to all the birds under cover, and when I went to put them up Stick...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I do believe the most overlooked thing in life is water… we are still recovering from our winter snow dump and freezing temperatures, and have been experiencing some heavy rains. I haven’t been able to manage any decent chicken photos of late, as they are mostly hiding under what shelter they...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well, the chickens and ducks have all been on lockdown since Tuesday bedtime. The goats have had minimal maintenance as well. We have got about a foot of snow here, but at least it has been warmer. I’m praying for rain overnight to melt it all as we made the harrowing trip from our little Island...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Well we are all hunkered down here in B.C. with -5 to -15c weather which is highly unusual for us. I spent the morning hand watering everyone and chasing the three ducks that left the coop as I was attempting to slip feed in. They hid under the goat shelter and I had to shoo them out with a rake...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Some thing about a “disc golf” course… I had to pull a lot of brightly colored plastic flags out of the field too. I’m not sure quite how it works, but I’ve been telling the goats to stop attempting to eat the “basket” which is a wood and chain thing that catches frisbees. Summer could get...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Oooh, more west coast friends! 😂 do you also have that moment of dismay when you log in in the mornings and everyone with a three hour head start is already getting to their lunch chats? I’m in the Southern Gulf Islands, formerly on Saturna which had a population boom during the pandemic and...

    Too cute!!! Is Mr. P the daddy??? You know “at capacity” is usually my incentive to build another coop… 😂

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Thanks! I wish it had turned out better, but when it gets to the point of having to involve the police, and now lawyers… we are moving on, tying up our loose ends, resolving Andrews fathers estate. Best thing is either my morning mold cough being almost gone or being able to shower regularly...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The very last photo features little Ruth near the stanchion and Tommy’s horns and forehead… lol. Unfortunately we are pretty much at or beyond housing capacity in the Poultry Apartment… I’m actually considering trying to add another roost somewhere because I’ve got four floor/nest box roosting...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    The property here also has three underfed, dirty, louse ridden chickens… I’m slowly working on that decontamination/integration as well I was able to re-home 20 of the youngest and most promising chickens, to a person from a local off grid FB page, before our move. I had to make some very tough...
