Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

OMG - I had no idea you had planned such extensive destruction!
Where will the horses go? Didn't you just knock down their stalls?!

Hahaha no, several yrs ago I renovated the north side of the barn, so the geegees still have a home. The plan was to renovate the south side but my father died before that could happen. So I have been slowly doing stuff myself, and my uncle will come up usually every week to help also. He helps with electrical and plumbing stuff.

All the fencing was redone, I started that when my dad died - it was something we had planned on doing as it really needed to be done. Lot of slugging but I am getting it done,

Few weeks ago my mum wanted the kitchen cabinets repainted so I had to do that, my uncles helped with that. We painted them cotton grey.

Yes, my hubby is a wonderful person !

Unfortunately, Cesario is still limping and holding up his foot. I prepared a crate for him and will take him off the roost and put him in there this evening and all day tomorrow. I don't imagine that he will be particularly happy about this, but hopefully a little rest will help.

Today Chukki decided that Cesario's appearance needed an upgrade. She spent a long time grooming him and she was NOT gentle! It looked like how a mother cat holds down her kitten and cleans it. Poor Cesario didn't dare move and just hunkered down waiting for her to be done!

Poor Cersario Mr P has been putting up with Marty and Penelope grooming his dreadlocks, and they are also not very gentle!!

Sorry to hear the wee fella is still sore. I think putting him on rest is a great plan, is there anyone you can keep inside with him?

FYI - I had the granite countertops put in the year after my dad died and one evening I decided I needed a new back splash doing tile is really easy but fiddly diddly.

Looks like she wanted to be a velociraptor like her chook friends

You say that, like it’s a bad thing!

I will keep him in a crate in the coop. I don't like to separate chickens from the flock if at all possible.

I would motivate you to get it cleaned up

Food is generally a good motivator and if I want my food, then I have to feed the livestock first!

As gramma and grandpa used to say, “No workee, no eatee!”
