Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ikslo]

I'm sorry for my absence. I explained to Alex that I am having seriously painful dental issues and it's really affecting my life. I hope to resolve this in a few weeks.

The Dental system both private and NHS is appalling inadequate. So I battle on.

I hope everyone is well and I hope to be back to normal on a fee week's.

Love to you all and your feathered family

Something to make you smile

Dental issues are not fun. Even worse when you cannot get them resolved promptly.

My husband is an expert at repurposing. Which is probably why our property looks like a scene from Sanford and Son, because he saves everything in case it comes in handy some day.
(For you young whippersnappers who might not get the reference, Sanford and Son was a tv show about a junk yard.)


They definitely found lots of high spots. But it taught me how to see things with their eyes. Everything up high is a potential roost, lol.


Pics? I don’t think you have posted any good ones of him lately.


Please tell her that Angel, our Porcelain D’uccle, has turned out to be a spoiled little princess. Lol

I keep forgetting to post that some of my girls started laying. Including at least one of the silkies, which surprised me because they are only 18 weeks old. Will post them in a few minutes.


Fingers crossed it works out well for both of us. I also took the risk of mixing sizes, and have a rooster at both ends of the spectrum (Silkie and Chocolate Orpington). But I knew a few members on this thread had been successful at it.

Oh your d’Uccle is such a beauty, I definitely need another barn hahaha. For all this lovelies I wish to admire from my lawnchair!

As you know I have a bunch of different breeds and sizes here, and while I have had issues with the Roos fighting (Bert and Mr P esp), so far my three boys are be having. Mr P does chase down the two younger smaller boys, but they run away and he ignores them after.

Mr LC will sneak up on Mr P and ninja thump him, Mr P will try to put the run on him but Mr LC is way too fast for him. But Mr P has a couple of times thumped Mr LC so the ninja attacks have lessened.

The hens themselves have no issues, everyone gets along. My big concern is Mr P and his trying to breed Mrs LC, she hates Mr LC and only has eyes for Mr LC. The couple times I have caught Mr P trying to breed her, she has actually let him!

I have not seen him breeding her recently so maybe she is saying no. The smaller Roos breeding the larger hens I’m not so problematic, more
Hilarious actually.
