Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Ok all have a good evening, I am going to try for some sleep, likely be back in and hr or so - dreadful rootin tootin RLS misery and aggrevation. To sleep perchance to dream….

Some Shakespeare to think upon

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub.

No treats for them, the escapees must learn their lesson. I can't say treats around my chickens because it starts a war and a stampede, I have to say T R E A T S around those lil dinos lol

Watch out - you just might be teaching them to S-P-E- L-L

Oh, she is really starting to look like the Royalty that she is! (and, it seems, has already learned how to handle the Paparazzi with grace!)

It Never Rains, Man it Pours!

The reason here had been ridiculous. It is raining almost every day. Upwards of 4 inches at a time. As proof I give you the magnolia tree in bloom.View attachment 3580438View attachment 3580444

This only happens when we have a lot of rain. It is usually the result of an August or September hurricane. I figure it takes around 8 inches Ina 2 to 3 week period. We are way over that.

There is flooding all around us but rest easy we sit on the top of a knoll and are safe.

Rain tax, the Hatchday girl.

Honestly it was a nightmare. He leaves a trail of destruction to remember him by.

Well, you know - those make the best memories!

Lovely! Is it blue? How old is your pullet?

Is it just me, or does that egg appear to be grey?

I took the pic in the coop, which is pretty shaded, so maybe that's why it looks so weirdly colored. It looks whiter in person. So, I'm guessing one of my leghorns. 18 weeks.

Willow, BBQ, and Splotch.
You three girls are champs! Laying almost every day in 100+ F weather. Well, Willow, you have only been laying for two days since going broody, but I know how awesome of a layer you are.


BBQ laid the weirdest egg today... it was super long and skinny. Crazy girl. She lays long and skinny eggs, but never that long and skinny!

@Ponypoor, get some rest. You have a bunch of chooks and horses that need a well rested mum.

@BY Bob, please tell Hattie, "Have the best hatchday ever, pretty girl!"

@ChicoryBlue, keep us updated on Butters please. Sending tons if prayers and hugs.

@Desertvalleychickens, I am so sorry about Plum. By the sound of it, she was an old lady who had a nice family, human, and home. Sending hugs.

@RoyalChick, sorry to hear about you're cat. Even if he was a terror. It's always the troublesome ones that we fall in love with. (Well, all animals, at least for me)

@featherhead007, keep you and your chooks safe. Try to hang in there until you can get you're air conditioning fixed. What a jerk that decided to shoot it.


@rural mouse, keep us updated on you're broodies and Indigo.

@RebeccaBoyd, hope that you guys are doing okay after giving/selling you're horse. At least Rosie(?) Will get to ride with him and his new owner on Russ.

@ValerieF (?) Where are you? I tried looking up you're name and I couldn't find it. If you see this, I hope you're doing okay. ❤


Well, good night everyone. I will try to get on here more during the day tomorrow. Sorry that I have only really been here at night.
Stay safe and air conditioned!

Likely…. Not the worst date or proposal I ever had

He is such a little fart I can’t be mad at him.

Silk and Sir Cuckoo did(in Silk's case) and does (in Sir Cuckoo's case) try to mate with my hand.

True, I guess. Some of you might laugh at this but I can partially understand Shakespeare. But lots of old language used.
