Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I feel it’s a dominance thing, mine are very food motivated - not that I give lots of treats but they will follow me, peck at me and if I don’t give treats will eventually wander off.

Some will hop up onto my back when I and crouched down doing things like cleaning buckets. I am sure that is also a dominance action.

This was sooooo hilarious . I love this clip

Ah, it's alright, really. I'm still feeling bummed but I can't let it get to me too much. It was just an online interaction with a stranger, not like it was a fight with someone I have to see every day Thank you, though!

I'm so proud of that shelter and can't wait to finish it! I can't remember if I ever posted about the plans for all of the shelters we're going to make.

We want to do like a little medieval village. So that shelter that I've posted pics of, that will be (if I can figure out how to do it) a stone house with a thatch roof. I'm thinking we'll call it "Gytha's Inn and Tavern" or something like that. Another one will be a little witchy wooden shack down by the woods, Magrat's cottage. No solid plans for the others yet. I love the planning stage! I can let my imagination run wild!

That's just a fabulous idea. I'm excited about these plans

I knew you would

Build your structure, then use those ‘fake stone’ facade you get at a hardware store for your stone work.

For thatch your can always put on a shingle roof (as the layer to prevent rain entry) and cover it with dried cat-tail stalks or reeds as the thatch.

I look forward to your endeavours!

Or…. You could rent a Hobbit. They build good structures, in a midi evil sort of way.
You can find them on line at “Hobbits-R-Us”

Well, it’s time to go out and face the roosters.
I have a can of corn and I’m not afraid to use it!!

Now Alex don't tease or knowing @TOMTE he'll find that Hobbit

If fuentemoon reads this far, I won’t give her a Hobbit. She’s gonna have to settle for a garden gnome!

I like palm trees to a degree.

The 2 to 5 foot branches are so dangerous that in a wind if one smacks into a person's skin it cuts like razors. These belong in a middle Eastern desert oasis & not in city or neighborhood streets where they are a danger to people & do car damage on the street.

2 tall palms on street behind our house plus there's a thick cluster of palms to the left-ugly

The girls had the raised garden bed to dig & dustbathe during construction. These girls are passed on now ~ Taffy, Violet, Phaedra
