Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Land lubbers, Gezz. . I grew up near the beach. I surfed, I scuba dived, I deep sea fished, hunted for the elusive blonde beach baby.
Too much information yeah I know, but that’s my younger childhood.
Pirate blood flows through my veins. Arggg! My brother also.

Who you calling a land lubber?

But you need to wear gloves.

Sorry, but you are not the target audience of this post. I could see you as a beach surfer bum. Hanging out with the dudes

We attended a friend's memorial service today & someone learned we had chickens asking about the AI threat & why they were paying the same price at a local egg farm for half the eggs they used to buy. People are unhappy about egg prices asking why AI is rampant as if I have the solution

I told them so far as I know wild waterfowl or wild birds are being blamed & that we haven't even put out Hummingbird feeders for the last 3 years.

How do I explain?:
All the laying chooks gave their eggs today. But I checked again and found one more (with a Barred Rock) feather draped over it???
What are the Rockettes trying to tell me? Maybe they are tired of being upstaged by the younger hens.
Maybe trying to tell daddy that they are still in the running?
I don’t know rooster stuff! That’s Mr Wyandottey’s job, but he seems very busy trying to keep up with his tribe. Many chooks to watch over now.

Friends, we are packed up and waiting and watching. It has not rained for a few hours thankfully. Next round of storms is supposed to hit in about a hour. Even if it does not rain one more drop we are in trouble, the backwater is rising. We cannot get out of the holler, have not been able to all afternoon. Our plan is if we have to go, we go up on the hill to where the cabin is and will be staying in the cars. Dad will saddle Dirt and pony Russ up there as well. My chickens, all I can do for them is to box up the silkies and bring them with me, the others that can fly they will have to fend for themselves. They have the hillside they can go to for saftey in the trees. I have no choice. Our whole subdivision is about to be underwater and all our neighbors are joining us on the hill. The barn and concession stand at the ring....Water is level with the concession porch and ready to break into the barn. I'm praying for the best, but we are all ready to run. If we run, I will not be able to get on probably for several days.

Dear God. Please stay as safe as you can. We are praying for you all.

Grandma made a quiche the other day. It. Was. AMAZIIINNNGGGG!!!

A while back I finally blew out Sybil's speckled egg that she laid pretty early on. It went perfectly, and then of course as I went to show my grandma I dropped it on the kitchen floor LOL but the shell was so thick that it cracked but didn't break, and I modpodged it

Not bad for my first time, I think.

That's very cool. Nicely done.
