Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

The fence was off because I have been clearing the weeds from it. He tore one section of it but I can repair it I think.
I don’t see bears every year but maybe every 2-3 years I either see a bear or see signs a bear came by.

So basically, you barely see them at all?

Peaches/nectarines in your planting zone is remarkable. Sorry about the squirrel invasion... I hate all rodents!

What variety of peaches/nectarines? I LOVE white peaches or white nectarines rather than yellow ones... but never planted soft skin fruit here to discourage ants/rats/squirrels/wild birds/June bugs/etc. Had to chop down the old fig tree for the same reason. Wish I could've planted a delicious White Sapote custard-flavor fruit tree but that would have the whole neighborhood pest population here if I did!

White, white, white. You are so racist!

White, white, white. You are so racist!

Not if you go with Tolkien's definition....white contains ALL colors....

Very nice practical camouflage

I adore White Leghorns for so many reasons but their stark bright white plumage says to predators "come & get me"


Not easy to camouflage their pretty all white feathers

There are two other hens by the rose tree but only the white one glows bright from a distance.

Their white feathers just screams to predators “ hey I'm from KFC “

Well folks, that is all I can do for tonight.
