Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Glad it wasn’t BurgerKing !

I like their burgers but the burger king is kinda creepy, and, according to Josey, "an abomination to Empresses like me!"

Did you use it to refuel your car?

Heavens no! That day I shared gas with my UBER driver!

Thanks I needed an update this week

 

[Ponypoor]

Mama looks like a biyatch!

She is pretty good but she knows how to uses those feet of hers!

Babies will be 4 weeks old Monday, I wonder how long she will brood them? Fluffy and Curly were something like 9 wks I think.

 

[Ponypoor]

Well, if you were wearing appropriate chicken attire....

My husband teaches forestry and landscaping in a vocational h.s. (think: adolescent teenage boys who want to play with new toys - and think they are invincible - learning to use chainsaws, backhoes, loaders, skid-steers, etc.) He is ADAMANT about appropriate protective gear......just saying!

Ah yes the appropriate chicken PPE: safety goggles ( to protect eyes from pecks), hi-viz clothing (so flying chickens can see you), heavy duty work pants (for those sharp claws), gloves (the long rubber kind for poopy butts), and ear plugs (for all that crowing and raucous calling when laying eggs).

Tax
They prefer to sleep in here unmolested by the Roos.

And they don't improve the power system either. Over here a couple years ago it got really hot and the power was out. We went out to eat Dairy Queen. They still had power.

They likely have a generator, here most food places do.

bgmathteach beat you to it.
Hoping to see SHRA if this is taxable.

 

[Ponypoor]

Many companies have back-up generators. Where I work does, many restaurants do, etc.

Hahaha likely need an SHRA tax

Great now they are all coming in here!

Hello everyone. I'm sorry for my absence, but I needed to step away for a bit. I am fine and well but dealing with heartbreak. My queen of my flock and a personal favorite Butter is gone. I did not realize she had been taken until it was time to put the flock up Tuesday evening. It had to have happened while I was at the dr's for my tests. Me and mom are both gutted, Butter was beyond special. I did not find a body but a mass of yellow feathers on the hillside. I have never minded the chickens being on the hill until now. This has me and mom thinking. Over half of the flock spend a majority of time on the hill. I cannot protect them when they free range on it. We are going to build a larger coop that connects to Russ's stall and free range time is going to become limited. Coyotes are taking over. I am going to be looking at a major flock reduction if this happens. I know several of them will not take kindly to being cooped up. I have a soft list of who to keep and who to place if we in fact go this route. I want to keep them all but I am thinking of what is in their best interests. I cannot kill off 3 separate packs of coyote's.
