Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

I honestly appreciate your help I'm worried

There’s a sweet YouTube channel by a YouTuber called Half-Asleep Chris, and one of his cats, Bella, wears a donut to stop her from bothering her sensitive skin.

I’m pretty sure that they won’t let me in heaven after all the crazy jokes that I throw around here on BYC!

Nahh, you’re a good person, Alex. But that was another good joke!

I just finished filtering off 5 gallons of pear cider and it's not too bad. I'm going to try a different yeast next time though.

Booze tax: Poofy Sr, a great mama hen. Not sure but I think the heat got her. View attachment 3289357

Aw, poor girl. How is she doing abd how hot is it there?

Today I went into the coop to check for eggs and saw a vole! At least it had the decency to run out the pop door when it saw me.

My husband set up a snap trap under an overturned milk crate, so that the chickens wouldn't inadvertently get hurt.

Then I went out to get the hens' food from the run during the break time for my evening Zoom French class and there was a grey jay gorging itself on the layer feed!
If it's not animals trying to eat my chickens, it's animals trying to eat my chickens' food (which is admittedly better)!

Thank you for sharing. It brought tears to my eyes just reading your story.
If you find pictures I am sure we would love to see some here.
We focus Sunday for horses (well any quadruped really) but we love seeing them any day of the week really.

Sorry RC but “quadruped Sunday” just doesn’t have the same ring to it as “pony sunday” even if some of those pony’s woof or have horns… or are of the “giant land Chicken” breed

Try not to wake up Jaffar, he’s asleep:

This is how my raccoons and I have a truce. They can eat feed, as long as they leave my chickens alone… but with a bag of laying pellets now at $22 each, and Scratch at $26, l may have to cut them off a little more. (I take all my feeders and secure them in garbage bins or totes at night, but usually there’s some spillage)

I just can’t believe how expensive things are getting lately!

Of course I'm wide awake this early in the morning. Get to see the spine Dr. today. Yesterday's brain MRI gave me a headache. weird because that's never happened before.

No thirsty day pics today. Been working on craft projects. Both of my sisters are expecting child number 2. Gift for 1 already with them. For second, finished this yesterday.

Her DH's family also does lots of handicrafts, so she's overloaded with blankets. A softee seems about right.

Only nephew on my DH's side has baby arriving soon, so finished this for them

Yes, that's a sea turtle. Her favorite colors are turquoise to aqua, so the waves fit. Debating about making a sea horse for it too.


Nosy beaks have been curious too.
