Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Pony Sunday

A chilly start to the day, but it’s 18C (64F) now, going to be 25C (77F) later on which is nice weather.

Took a couple photos of Truly and Lulu; Reenie would cooperate by standing still.

Truly may have come out in sympathy with your eye infection. How is yours and Trulys eyes today??

So crazy this weather, wet here, dry other places - should be dry here this time of year.

The mosquitoes are ferocious here, clouds of them. It’s a sprint to the barn these days, I haven’t been out to do evening chores yet, been watching the movie ‘Angels and Demons’ with Tom Hanks, I hadn’t seen it before.

Had some twists and turns that I suspected but was still a good movie. And now I am off to do my sprint to the barn, and put my babies to bed for the night.

We've had mosquitoes ticks and an infestation of flying ants here. I've had all sorts of bites even with my oils.

Our council has be helping too increase the tick infestation by leaving high grass right through these impossible weather changes. No wonder our birds have gone.
That as well as all this rifle shooting that hasn't been checked out and is illegal especially in our nature gardens.

We are getting really lax service's here and people pay their good money in taxes for this.

If we left our gardens in such a state being 3 plus feet of grass at our only playing park, we would be warned and find.

payment of my tax in here is getting difficult, my photo wouldn't upload.

Trying again...

A fluffy and an inquisitive Tina

You be very careful - that is just very hot, though I was expecting higher humidity where you are. It's 65% here.

I have a passport, can I come live with you? My chooks are all healthy, I promise!

Its 100+% today. I don't check the whether often, but it's too hot.
I wish I were back in Alaska. I regret being all bundled up while on those boats whale watching

I never really told you guys about my trip, did I?

 

[Pastel the Rooster]

I am so sorry you lost Frost and Eclipse, Pastel! Such a beautiful tribute!

Thank you ❤❤

@Marie2020 started Tina on a course of amoxicillin, worried about her lash egg.https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27080575
(After some initial mistake with the dosage, advice was by all means not to shorten the number of days of antibiotics.)
She seems to be doing much better !

The perfect chook! Doesn’t poop, peck or make noise just stands there looking all cute

That would be a little like the stuffed toy chicken
