Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Nope

They hijacker’s my car and told me to ‘drive or I would be in serious deep doodoo’

So being terrified I floored poor old Bessy and drove!

They can be quite terrifying those velociraptors!

Even more terrifying you behind the wheel, yikes

The Buffalo gnats here are awful. I brought Hilda inside for a while. She was covered in them. See her under eye area? Those are blood spots from gnat bites.

The gnats especially love black chickens(and dark clothing too).
I put my black girls in a pen and applied permethrin powder. I turned on the coop fans too. I hope it helps them out.
Hattie & Hilda waiting their turns for the powder.

Those blighters are everywhere around here. I got rid of lot's by boiling cloves and using sticky mouse traps

I think @rural mouse may owe SHRA tax….

She just hopped up for a visit what a brat!

What a cute couple you make

 

[Marie2020]

Don’t be fooled by their cuteness, these Two are a terror if together.
If they were human, they’d be sitting in juvenile detention already! View attachment 3810406

I'd be daft enough to let them get away with anything

You can also try horse fly spray, I use that for lice now. Works great!

Can’t get powder here, but can get the horse spray.

If they were mine I'd look into trying DE on their body and himalayan salt Wash on their eyes. After I checked that out of course. Flies are not keen on mint and that's good for colic

 

[Marie2020]

LOVE them. I have owned chickens long enough that I no longer “weed” dandelions, I “harvest” them.

 

[Marie2020]

Don’t worry not much news going on. The weather still sucks here but everyone else seems to have lovely weather and roses growing.

RoyalChick’s Tassels seems to have given up the broody idea also.

Alex’s wee ones like to trim his whiskers. Sir Jaffar is getting acquainted with his new charges.

Looking back on the month:
Memories of the eclipse

My mum enjoyed herself

And that white suv was naughty and tried to drive up the oncoming lanes while everyone was going home from the eclipse - he got boxed in and couldn’t go anywhere - some people think they are entitled!

Ok and the tax for all this stuff

Hearing that the SUV got stuck for being a entitled xxxx makes me oddly happy

Language tax !

And I am serious about this one! Such language - we do have younger kids here.
