Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Pastel the Rooster]

These are waiting for me when I get home.
My pastor is watching over my house, while I’m on assignment.
Seems he decided that I didn’t have enough chooks:

WAIT WHAT! YOU GOT CHICKS!?

We measured and moved things around and talked about it. Hubby is not happy with what the ladies have currently. He wants to get a 10x20 roundtop chicken pen, hardware cloth up the bottom half and an apron, and stick their coop and two hutches turned into nesting boxes in it. Then we can have the third rabbit hutch and the brooder box ready to go for babies, sick chickens, etc. Plus it'll take up less yard space and go back into the woods.

Samara laid this egg, she is definitely going broody this time. Had some blackberries, lettuce, and cauliflower stem for a snack then she and Morinth went to the nest boxes, chuckling to themselves. Tomorrow I'm finishing up yarn quest with my sister in law so my mom said she and kiddo will be checking on the girls.

Hubby asked if white water packed tuna is okay for Morinth? We don't have sardines or kippers but we keep canned tuna in our pantry. He held her and said she seems too thin. I could even add some stuff to it if it needs it.

I would think it is fine for her.

Got a ton of rain yesterday, and my dirt road got washed out. I saw this though. Hi Mr/s Timber Rattlesnake

You are very talented @CCsGarden
Very yummy looking.

That is what I am doing. I fully trust Tomatilla with any amount of chicks, but with any other hen I am wary.

You think like I do. Always protecting the little ones and the defenceless

You get beat up by a pint sized hen with a club for a foot. You will be surprised by the new words you come up with in the heat of the moment.

Good thing the horses can’t get on BeakBook and put their colourful language suggestions up there!

Esp the wind-sucking old cow Reenie! I curse her 5 ways to Tuesday for her wind-sucking on my fences! I am sure she is the one teaching my chooks all the curse words I hurl at her!

I'm disgusted. There's no need for %@# bad language. I never cuss, well not very much maybe only sometimes a lot

One newly hatched little chick -

Maybe a trip to TSC for a little pullet friend for her….

I have one more viable egg in the incubator, I candled it last night and saw movement. It is due to hatch in approximately 6 days. Hopefully, this wee little one will be okay with us and the heat plate until the other one hatches. I am loathe to introduce any possible viruses from outside if I don't have to.
That said I also will not introduce one chick to the flock. So, if the other one doesn’t hatch, I 100% will get some chicks asap!

They are learning a bunch of new ones as Rebecca says - that Teddy keeps attacking me !
