Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I cannot physically do a 6 hour drive right now. The 15 minute drive to the dr yesterday was bad enough. I'm also supposed to not be out and about exposing myself to illness while I heal. I guess I will just have to wait until I find leghorn chicks at TSC or Rural king and raise them myself. That is not the end of the world. I love raising chicks.

YES agreed you need to stay put, there will always be nice chickies out there, and yes raising them from chicks would be awesome

How is the weather holding up? I see we are all in for some cold miserable weather starting Friday, do you have any plans for Mama Hen? Or are you just going to leave her be? I guess it’s sheltered enough we’re she is….

Oh and how are you feeling today?

This is a frequent excuse from you. Just pointing that out.

Whining weather tax for Bob

This was the one I tried all day to load, Marty in early November

And I just love this photo of Mr P

And a variety of the chickies doing normal everyday awesome things

Henny Penny looking very smart

Mr P last night with his head tucked in sleeping, not sure he was comfortable though as he was back to hanging his head when I checked in later.

I’ll let you slide this time, because you need to heal yourself. But you do need some leghorns also. ( You won’t be disappointed with leghorns)

I would still like to get a few Azure Blues in the Spring, if I can swing it. A few more blue egg layers. I don’t see legbars around here otherwise I would get a few of them to shove under my broodies in the Spring.

Yes I'm blaming it on karma. You had better watch out, I think you teased her as well.

It’s easy for me to count a dozen - not so easy when you get over a couple dozen.

You can’t blame yourself - she is a sneaky one and will find a way. Short of locking her away not much you can do.

Do you have any plan for her?

That she did!

So did I......

Oh wait, I don't have a rooster!

I could ship you some eggs....

That was 6 weeks. It felt like 2. Time is flying.

Yes time flies!

I am very happy to be home, this morning the chickies decided I was OK haha. They were back to their normal behaviour around me, but had no plans on going outside haha. They just gave me the ‘are you crazy human’ look.

 

[Ponypoor]

I was having the exact same thought!

The long haul will be when I head back on the 2nd. I will be there until April - that will be a challenge, I will make sure to move my Hen House cams so I can see the kiddos roosting better, and I also want to see if I can get some barn cams were the horses are.

I just hop those silkies don’t go broody on my mum…

I’m being groomed by a 5 lb Rock. I hope there’s nothing to find in my mustache!

 

[Ponypoor]

That she did!

So did I......

Oh wait, I don't have a rooster!

Hahahaha lucky!

You ever think of shoving some chicks under the broodies? Some nice legbars? Can they be sexed at hatching??
