Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

My Buffy is only six months old so she’s probably too young to go broody. She lays eggs regularly though.

My friends, I do need you all to know, that I feel emotionally bankrupt. Yesterday’s shock made me rethink my priorities. As you all know, I love my animals more than my own life itself. Losing Canna took me way further away from caring, than I have felt since my active dutiful career in law enforcement.
what I’m trying to say is this: I really have lost the feeling, that I am a good chicken keeper, and having only four left, leads me to believe that I am losing the faith (so to speak) your friend, Alexander

Alex, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I can’t blame you, as you have had a tough year with your flock. I hope you allow yourself to grieve and heal and enjoy your four remaining birds again.

Good afternoon everyone! It's a beautiful but chilly day here today! I spent the morning raking up leaves and pine needles in the free range pen! The chickens were such a great help...no, not really...! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Part of the cleanup crew!

My husband was on the garden side and the whole flock followed him, hoping for a treat...of which he gladly provided for them!

You have so much space and a lovely set up. How many chickens do you have?

It worked for me but I am repeating below. This is not super up. Hattie was moving that quickly!

So weird. I have the same problem. I go to play it, it pauses, I try again snd get a playback error. I’ll try again on a computer later.

Tractor Supply Company, while on sale right now, still pricy, but worth it.

They had chicks as well but I can't find them on the website.

I asked hubby to get it for me, as there is a tractor supply near his jobsite. They are sold out, but expect more Tuesday and will let him know. Fingers crossed!

All four were waiting for me on the porch just now. ("Hey daddy, where's Canna?") I took time to talk to them and spelled out the situation. My Beetov-Hen understood my words.the rest wanted treats.
