Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

The airspace above is practically anyone's. Drones are treated the same as other aircraft (knock it out, risk jail).

I'm curious as to what you have planted in the 'chicken garden/outdoor run?' I just got some blueberry bushes to plant where they will have a 'pasture', and a dwarf everbearing mulberry bush/tree (2), and two different haskaps -- these latter will go in the main run. They are bushy plants ( related to honey suckle, but berries are edible by humans, too) that I'm hoping will eventually grow at the base of an arbor that will have grapes growing over it to create shade in the summer AND 'foraging feed' in the fall as the berries (that the human doesn't pick) fall.

There are so many kinds of mulberry trees. Our farm neighbor had a huge mulberry tree that they used as a cool patio to sit under the huge draping boughs & the berries were delicious hanging like little jewels from the branches! Use magnifiers to see this old pic ! Wish the old Brownies developed larger in those old days!

My Olde Boston Bulldogge and me w/neighbor's mulberry in background -- it was a massive and very tall tree. Memories!

Took Shelock for his morning walk.View attachment 3863376The dark spots are the rain drops that decided to land on us....

20 min later, it really opend up. We need it, but the snow in the forecast in the couple of days.....luckily it's only supposed to be the upper altitudes...like above 6000 feet.



Birds don't seem to care at the moment....and babies are bigger than my smaller adults. Need to get fresh pics today. Mera is still sitting.

Snow!

Be prepared to see big fuzzy slippers on Silkies. They trip over their own feet when they walk!

Snow!

We'll see it it actually happens. I just got back from the 2nd hand store in town, getting warm clothes for my nieces who are arriving tomorrow...with a whopping 1 long sleeve shirt each for the 60F highs....although coming from 117F even 60 feels cold.


Checked on Mera again....she is NOT budging from the eggs. Will not let me see what's under her. Speculating lock down time.

Violet, Blurr, Jane, Hyacinth, and Rose testing out the high roost. Indigo was working on an egg.

Everyone keep this little one in your prayer's please. This is Fluffy's chick with the splayed legs. I just got hobbles on her and have her in a cup to try to keep her upright in the brooder. I have no clue what I am doing her people but I will try. I will leave her in the cup for a hour, get her out to eat and drink and rest for a few minutes then back in the cup. If she fights, I will fight for her.
