Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[GregnLety]

Hello friends. I need to ask for your prayers/good thoughts/ positive energy what ever you do. Things are a bit dire here financially. I really need a solid buyer for my property in the next week. Without a buyer my choices are the county takes it or i take out a loan i can't afford.

At least Alinta has lots of berries to eat!

Praying you find a buyer soon and everything goes your way.

I too get those duct cleaning calls.

It goes like this:

‘Hello ma’am we are calling about duct cleaning’

Me: ‘duck cleaning?’

‘Yes ma’am duct cleaning’

Me: ‘do you do Indian Runners?’
(It was at that point in time I realized it might sound racist to the person on the other end who was obviously East Indian - but I went with it)

‘I beg you pardon ma’am?’

Me: ‘I have Indian Runners, and Muscovy, do you clean those also?’
(Quiet on the other end…)

‘Ma’am we do duct cleaning’

Me: ‘yes, but what type of ducks do you clean?’

‘Your house ducts ma’am’

Me: ‘house ducks ? I don’t keep ducks in the house, they crap everywhere, messy things. But if you can clean them then I won’t have to do it myself’

‘Yes ma’am we clean ducts, would you like to set up a date to clean have them cleaned?’

Me: ‘well if you think you can handle them, I don’t want anyone who isn’t used to handling ducks, they fly everywhere’

‘Ma’am, what flies everywhere?’

Me: ‘the ducks, nasty smelly things, crapping everywhere, they never shut up quacking… hello? Hello? Are you still there?’




Edit: I just want to point out that when one lives in the country and it’s winter and one is bored, then one must make their own fun I once had some poor guy believing I lived in a fly in community, had to hunt my own meat, chop my own wood, and melt snow for water.

Poor dude told me I needed to migrate to the city where life was easier at that point I told him ‘sorry buddy gotta go, got a moose hanging in the tree out there ready to butcher - and I hung up the phone. Most fun I had with a telemarketer for 30 min ever!

Oh gosh. I am dying laughing. I might have to try that fly in community one! Our if I get a duct cleaning one, you know where that will go!

Look at those chickens feets !

He has bad scaly mites that I have been trying to fix. I feel so bad.

Oh, the two babies who had bumblefoot are all good. Just one Epsom salt soak her they are perfect. Some were bumblefoot, but most were just dried poop.

Humans can Really be Awful

This is horrid research. It is all governed by what is the cheapest way to get an egg. Because we are now using corn to power our cars in an effort to save money on more expensive feed they are now going to essentially starve laying hens. They will live horrible lives in cages and slowly state l starve to death while giving us cheap eggs. They will well and truly be burnt out by 18 months with almost no hope of surviving.

Humans can be quite barbaric. Especially so to beings we believe to be beneath us. Not that we have been super kind to other humans.

It's amazing they have proven that malnourished hens will sacrifice their own bodies to lay eggs. Malnourished human women will do the same when pregnant.

This is why I hate almost all people. Strictly animal person, thanks. F*** those people (excuse my awful language) not y’all. You guys all care about chooks, and understand how amazing they are. F all the people who think chickens are machines who have no hearts or feelings.

He’s a sharp one, that lad , quick with the wit!

Ok well I am going to head to bed, I am trying to stay on Ontario time, I will be happy to get home where it’s quiet, no noisy motorcycles, screaming drug addicts staggering and swearing down the street (which is actually sad), and no honking horns, swearing people, and own shop across the road from one’s await bnb quite the culture shock for a country girl let me tell you. Seems to be some sort of brawl or something going on down in the sidewalk. I wonder what would happen if I threw some pits and pans out the window at them?

Crazy talk
I miss my chooks, and I wonder if Twister will remember me

Where have you been? You got a new job, but does it require you to be gone a lot? Or just during most days?

I’m really starting to like this guy!

He’s quite funny. We have a private chat and we talk often. We both hate math, like reading, and adore our chickens.
