Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Just had a LARGE crow swoop back and forth across the driveway. Then it landed. I happened to be standing at the glass door watching, phone across the room, so no pics. Lark and Indigo, the 2 smallest hens, (and smaller than the crow) took turns charging it with tails spread (they looked like broody mamas). It gave ground, then decided discretion was the better part of valor, so it took off after the 4th charge. If either one turns broody, she'll be a FIERCE mama! Maybe they will co-brood...

Had the wee chicks out for some dirt time in the sandbox.

This is way off topic, but I’m having a bad day. The only day I park my new car in the yard to wash it. Then: The wind comes up, and the palm tree above the car sheds its fronds (in the picture)View attachment 3479014View attachment 3479024

Central. Cholo 3, our young Lavender Orpington is available. Also a variety of EE, naked neck, Sebrights, bantam game, silkie crosses, cochin crosses. Need a rooster? I have several available.

I don't need a rooster right now. I don't know if he'd like the long trip to Far West Texas.

Everyone should get four more chickens, by command of Empress Josephine, Ruler of All Chickens and Measuring Tapes.

I hear and I obey, Empress Josephine! They are coming May16th!

How far west are ya? I've worked near Ft Stockton a few times. Last time was near a park famous for its natural springs.

The day after Mike went home his boss called and wanted him to go on a job. I told my sister I'd use every hour of sick time he has on the books. Personally I'd have cursed his boss up one side and down the other!

Doubled the size of the bare patch. Break time. Enjoying the sunshine. Then inside to start dinner. Now there are high clouds creeping in.

Hope you get a bit of warmth soon. And some more moisture
