Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Pretty good, I’m thinking about breeding some of my chickens for sell. Tips? Tricks?

As chicks or point of lay pullets and cockerels as meat birds?

Pony Sunday

Today I hauled a tick off Truly, and though I would show everyone what they look like close up (RC you can look away ).

This tick had likely been on her a couple days, I was digging through her coat feeling for them, which I try to do daily. Her longer winter coat is really hindering my search for them. Not sure why she is so prone to them, I rarely find ticks on the other two.

I hate them. RC directed me (because I was panicking) too get a tick out of pusscat. I dropped it into peroxide.

Good morning Marie, it’s Monday. Back to work for me, tired this morning but I am eggcited for a warmup here. Mother Nature is gone off the rails here - starting tomorrow back to weather more in-line with June.

Overnight lows are the key here, normally it’s around freezing like this morning, but look at those I have underlined. Wow!

I’ll take it even though it’s not normal.

Happy Mugs Monday everyone, came across this one of Betty and made me smile.

Yesterday afternoon turned out lovely, it was like June here too.
I didn't sleep at all last night my shoulder and hip is out of action

Our weather is very peculiar and it's really cold at night.. it rained through last night and early hours of this morning.
