Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Is the deck space otherwise sealed? If so, caulk their hole and let them die.

I have a HUGE hornet colony up under the soffit of the house eves! Thousands of them!

There is no way for me to get at it other than taking down the soffits one NIGHT. And hoping for the best! Who knows how far into the house ceiling / roof that are, it’s a clear span cathedral ceiling so no attic space to access.

Then there is those two at the barn! Or rather three! Fluffy was digging around near the one in the barn cement brick wall last night I raced over and snatched her up in case the hornets attacked her. Do chickens eat hornets?

I remember that day when I was sworn in as a United States Deputy Marshall. Great feeling of pride.

No, not to my experience with hornets, they don’t.

It's the straps on those. Polyester is NOT friends with me and elastic is polyester (as are dryer sheets, thread on commercially made clothes even though "there not enough of it to be a problem" so it isnt included in fabric content, gorilla duct tape, co-flex, spandex).

Oh no! Gorilla Tape! Nooooo! The most awesome stuff!

Unless it’s -35 and your remote office sewer uplift tank needs a repair!!! Then it’s brittle as anything!

All joking aside, it can’t be fun having sensitivity to items you can’t escape from

Did I mention that Jaffar was running for office? Long Live the King!
And Biden can suck my tail feathers!

Same. Mine stay away from them. Otherwise my problem would be easy to solve!

My husband is currently rebuilding a outbuilding that was on our property when we bought the house and turning it into a 16x8 coop. We have run into soooo many hornet and yellow jacket nests. He has been stung twice my 5 yr old once. The colonies are shockingly large. He hit the 5th one yesterday. I definitely feel your pain!

My plane is a single engine prop plane. And Flightradar24 would show up my plane as flying over you going

Is it bigger than a Beech V35B Bonanza? That is what is overhead right now.

Maggie isn't interested in it because she is having a nice bath and kicking up a lot of dirt.

bees, hornets , ants and slugs . The chooks stay away from. But pizza , noodles , lasagna, and steak , they love . My princess “Flash” agrees with me. (She’s inside with me now.

They are a menace.
Last year some managed to chew their way through drywall and ended up flying around in the guest bedroom.
I slammed the door shut and ran!
