Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Not that we can see.
I ripped a lot of the paper off yesterday and the wall underneath is pristine. It feels like either a wallpaper glue failure or that pristine wall is coated with teflon.

The wall should be painted prior to putting up wallpaper, I see people trying to put wallpaper onto unpainted drywall all the time! doesn't work

And then there is the 'drying out' effect... ugh....

Yup. Pristine, beautiful white paint.
This is so non stuck I could reuse the wallpaper if I wanted.
It is ridiculous.

Pardon me for my ignorance. This shelter looks tiny, but it is for humans?

It is mostly underground for safety in case of tornadoes. 6’ tall, 6’x8’ floor. Will hold the two of us on folding chairs that recline plus a cat, a little snug but tolerable. Without the chairs there are reported cases of as many as 19 people plus a dog crammed in one this size. That would be incredibly tight, but it meant they all survived being in the direct path of an F5 tornado.

We live in a 32’ fifth wheel travel trailer, so needed somewhere safe to go during severe storms just in case.

This gives more specs and shows a picture of the shelter out of the ground.

Lovely picture
And seriously, wallpaper glue failure is a thing? WTH?!

Sadly it is. Very frustrating. Somehow the wallpaper glue failed and I still had trouble getting some off in spots. It was a nightmare. Only paint here.

Today the Palace chef prepared 22% starter mash in warm water served with beef baby food (human) and a garnish of rice and probiotics.
That is some serious protein power to throw at the chicken wallpaper paste problem.

So glad you have that for safety!

Any way to create bunks so there's more "room" in the same size space? As for the chickens, present the argument that they are needed because if a tornado wipes out the house (and rest of the area), their eggs will potentially be needed as a food source/income source while rebuilding. (And the upper "bunks" could be caged for the bird space)

There's not enough to whine about, ladies. You can still find the dirt.

Maybe build a smaller version just for chickens!
