Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Cynthia12]

Saw something on lice/mites. Have to share the most easy and productive way I keep mites at bay. You know the lice/mite spray for canary's feet? In pet stores? Yep! A squirt on the back of the neck, on the chest, under the wings, on the bottom part of the back, and of course the bottom. I only do this..if..I see lice/mites. Works great, is safe, and inexpensive..oh, and easy to do.

What do the greens mean? Looks like upside down exclamation points. .

Snow is really great, and once it's cold enough you don't have the mud. I prefer it to rain actually, in almost all things except for growing a garden. But 2x with you as far as the plow piles. I'd have the plow guy push the construction materials away along with the snow too! (She probably wants to keep some of it intact though, I understand). Or I'd get a guy with a backhoe in there to pick it up and move it, then hoe out the blocked path.

Yeah the back-hoe would be feasible - the construction materials include my lovely gutters for the Chicken Palace and I am sure they would be mangled if pushed with everything else so that isn't happening. All my fault I know so I have no basis to complain.
I think for now climbing over my snow mountain is doable if a little scary.

It is a new option - it says it is 'informative' (I guess it is an 'i' not an upside down '!'. I think it is a bit glaring and ugly but hey ho!

Ugh I'm a idiot and I hope I didn't screw up to bad. With the fiasco of holding crybaby *Toothy Jr* for people last week and non showing up, the sick chick and nest laying shenanigans I completely forgot that the 6th was lockdown day for the other round of eggs in the incubator. I only remembered this morning when with my first cup of coffee glance at the date on my computer. The 8th, what...can't be those eggs should start hatching the 9th. ran to my paper with dates written down and have a panic attack. I've removed the turner, upped humidity and now just pray I guess.

I had one chick hatch several days early in the turner (he may have gotten a few days under a hen before I received the hatching eggs, because he was big beautiful and healthy) so don’t worry too much over it! I’ve been more successful with dry hatching here as well, but we have insane humidity most of the time.

She could hire some youths to dig a path. I might even do it for some tea and crumpets.
